"Project: Kustom Seventy-7"... Status: Complete. (lots of pics)

[VanityDetailing]

It's been a seemingly bottomless money pit, but after it's all said and done, The Monarchasaurus is officially "done." It's been a while since I've had a project car that's been completely to the way I want it, but I'm happy that I don't really have much left to do to this car. Decided to pass on getting the custom Bilsteins, and will probably just get some Monroe Sensa-tracs. It's probably never going to autoX again, so I'm not terribly worried about it.





Here's the progression, from June of last year, to today:

holy body-roll...



Looks really cool, I can’t say that I like how you shot the tires to give it “white wall” look.. maybe look into some steelies+whitewalls/slicks/fat tires/ and paint the steel rim red...

I'm in love with the custom hood ornament. That is probably one of my favorite cars. There isn't a single other person in the world that has a car like that. That car should seriously be called "I am Legend."



Love it! Seriously!

New steelies are around $80/ea. Wide whitewalls, from Coker, are $279/ea. I'm not dropping that much money into this car. As it is, I've already got 600% of what I paid for it, into it.

Thanks! It's been known around town here, as the "Local Celebrity." Love it or hate it, everyone in Bloomington-Normal, IL, has seen it, at least once.
