To be honest i think there is to much going on with it, between the bumper, fenders, lambo doors, and the visor.

With that being said if the visor was body coulor and the bumper molded so it flows more it would be a sweet ride.

But keep in mind this is your ride, and you should do what you feel despite what the turds like me say.

I do really like the paint choice though. Flat paints are my Fav.

And on a final note anyone who dose this much work on there own is aok in books. Keep it up.

I was just going to say, some Iron Cross side mirrors and either moon or spoke wheels would really help the street rod look.

i really appreciate the honesty guys i really do. I have been trying to find some 150 spoke daytons 19's with a 1inch lip. Nnot the easiest to find but i will find them. I have the maltese cross for my rear view. I started everything maltese and realized that everyone in the minitruck world has skulls or crosses, i am a skull and cross bone kinda guy. lol. What other minitruck things am i missin.

Rem this is my work in progress trying a bunch of things to see what flows together. Wehn i first started this project it was going another direction and as i tought myself body work it got a lil mor drastic. Def a learning curve, just waiting for that curve now.

All i need to do is chop and section it and i can call it a day. Say 5 inches out of mid body, and 4 out of the pillars to chop the roof.

Nice.

The front bumper is sort of weird, but it looks like you did a good job with it. I think you have the right idea, but a different bumper would be good-- maybe a chome early-VW-Bus bumper?

I'm having a heck of a time finding a good picture, but this is what I'm thinking of: https://www.eisparts.com/211707105A.html

^ I think that would flow better, depending upon the width, of course.

I say lose the bumper and the lambos. The bumper does not flow at all. It just sticks out and is there, it doesnt work. The lambos are lambos and dont belong, sorry.

Looks good, not digging all of the chrome but other than that it looks good. I like the flat black look.

Not bad..
the chrome covered bumper seem too low... maybe, take the bottom bumper off, and place the chrome cover on your oem bumper...
NICE IDEA THO....

i say get some of those blocks for the rear.. you know.. the ones that you put on so you can lower the back and drag the blocks on the ground so sparks go flying.. i think that you can get color ones too.

that is common on mini trucks/lowrider trucks

The vw bumper was an idea at first but it is almost to small, didn't look right. But thanks for the ideas, they have helped a lot.

any comments welcom..

haha yeah i know the lambo's need to go. They were on before the change and i was part of the slow and the curious look.

As for the drag blocks.. I would but i don't believe in them, if you can't lay frame, its kinda cheatin. Now they are sweet and i don't hate on them. Just not for me.

Needs better fitment to the rest of the car..... the gap kills the unique look and makes it all wrong.
