  4. its a homie hoppers impala body and ya, he does AWSOME work!
  5. i had to drive a car with abs durin drivers ed and didnt like it one bit, and what i ment by feelin the brakes, is i can feel if there gonna lock up or not, which in case you can control em more and stop better IMO
  6. its got disks up front, brand new at that, replaced em right after i bought the car in may and replace the rear drums (swaped axles and the drumes from it wouldnt fit)
  7. pesronaly i feel safer in older cars (have a 87 5th ave and a 74 dart sport) as they are built outta thicker steel and ALL steel, where as new car are practicly all plastic! plus new cars dont have ANY style (except the challenger as it resembles the 70-74s a lot, my only problem is they put the gas cap on the wrong side of the new one) i also HATE teh "abs" brakes on new cars. my dart has manual brakes and i love em cuz i can actually feel the brakes
  8. rare or not, id use that as a daily, forget the value. i bought my 74 dart sport (mostly original,had some rust repair at one point and repainted) but the interior is MINT, with fold down rear seat, all original running gear with 44xxx original miles on it (now has 46xxx). under the hood still has all the original hoses even!! i pulled the wimpy 7 1/4 rear for a 8 1/4, swapped the steering wheel for a grant, added a big stereo (did do any chopping, original AM is still hooked up and still works), and swapped the steelies for a set of magnum 500s (gonna have 13 or 14" wire wheels soon) and im gonna put dual exhaust on next year. gonna fix the rust and have my buddy paint it a flaked out green with black patterns on it. oh ya and i bought it for a total of $2080 in may of this year!! almost forgot, when i pulled the back seat to run my stereo wires, i found TWO build sheets,BUT theres a twist, one didnt belong to my car!
  9. got paint on the hearse
  10. he wasnt thinking
  11. dont forget to move the heater hose so its more acurate
