I don't get it...to me this is nothing more than a lowered donk...but to each his own. I know a lot of you guys like this sort of thing so i figured i'd share.

I pulled the pics from another site so i don't have any other info on the car.

I bet it's nothing more than old school tub work...narrowed rear end, relocated control arm and shock mounts etc. The front probably has no inner fenders at all and probably has a turn radius of like 50 feet or something.

Well I will say this and I bet I will get made fun of. I hate a donk. I hate the car and usually the people who drive them are just as stupid..... BUT, I kinda like this and I would drive it if its done right. It reminds me of the dubs die cast cars. I didn't like them at first but they grew on me. I kinda like this though.

I respect it...i would never really say it's stupid or really rip on it, although that's the first word that came out of my mouth when i saw the pics. I'm all for people doing things their way, even with the crazy Donk cars...I will say it looks like it was done right and does look very good for what it is...it just couldn't be further from my style. I just can't get over the rubber band tire thing.

A wheel swap and it would be a bad ass car! It looked pretty good other than that.

Normally i would hate something like this but it doesnt look all that bad to me.

I like the look but like what was posted earlier,I bet the turning radius is huge. Try parallel parking that thing. Unless it has a 4 banger under the hood to make room for the wheels.

I dont see how the front tires can even turn.

Way too much rim. Gotta be almost non-drivable. Have turn from the far right hand lane to make a left turn.

That thing is sick, I love it. It looks like a hot wheel, or a car that would be in "Cartoons" comic book (Trosley). It may not be the most practical, but how many of our cars are?

If it had some slighty smaller wheels it would be cool imo. I like notches that are really low like this. Just not a big fan on the rims but ive seen worse.

Hell, those wheels would be junk after a 10 mile drive in this area...the effed up roads around here would DESTROY them.

at least it is not 3ft off the ground and those are some huge wheels on the back WOW. I kinda like it different.

Everyone knows I'm all for big billets especially with a fat lip in the rear, but the sizes are so very very different it totally throws it off. Maybe in the rears were not 24's (I'm guesstimating). Granted, my daughter could certainly sit in there lol. I do love slammed/air'd out cars on big billets though. Those rears are some serious $$$ Intro Twisted Vistas lol

really would have to see it on the ground, I'm sure then I'd all giddy about it. Def has to have air and man that rear is certainly tubbed to hell and back and a slightly (lol) narrowed rear. I'd like to see the fronts up in the fenders a bit more.

And locally and big billets, I will say from having my billets on low pros it's not too terribly bad, and my buddy whom has the red GMC on 24x10 intro's, has not bent a wheel, and he is on a 295/30 and 315/30

:eek: WTF happen there lol...He paid more for those god awful rims and tires then he did on the entire rest of the car... They need to stick to fucking up Chevys not beautiful Notchs!

I like it... Kinda. lol the front looks fine. I am sure it drives fine. Better hope the work was done right behind the seats. Have a blow out and loose your head.

Drive that thing more than a half a mile at any speed over 20 MPH and you will need a new spleen, and a pair of kidneys!!! I'd like to see my wife put on eye liner and lipstick on the way to church on Sunday mornings in that car!!! LOL!!! Seriously though, nice tub work. Repsect the effort but not to my taste. Would rather see 15's on the back with big old MT's that almost kiss in the middle like the old hot rodders have done to old Ford, Chevs, and others over the years.

Would be interested how you put those little skinny rires on the rim. THere can't be much of a lip to catch to run them on with. Are they pressed on like a fork lift tire? Just curious if it takes special equipment to mount them. Would not even fathom the cost of the rims and rubber together less mounting.

when my buddy steve had his tires mounted on his 24 inch intros for his red bodied GMC....it was interesting to say the least
