i know, This thread is useless without pics......but my wheels are going to take 3-4 weeks just like chickens did because they will be custom 1-off Staggered 20's. The only thing i can tell you guys is it will have as much dish as i can do, they will be black on black with machined openings. The lip will have a stainless painted strip around the outside, similar to my older rims to help break the colors since it will be a LOT of black. Im looking at Pirelli 295/25/20 in back, 245/30/20 up front (to conform to the "stagger") anyway the style will be "slide" from AZA ( http://www.azaforged.com ). It only shows the chrome wheel, no pic of black - so if one of you wants to grab it and photoshop it that would be GREAT Black dish, black spokes black rivets, machined logo, machined spoke openings and a small stainless colored "stripe" on the outside. if you REALLY wanna take it the extra mile, photoshop it onto my ISF too I can provide a new side pic of my car later when i get off if there isnt a good one online. also dont judge my wheels too much till you see the final product because even the "icon" which we got for the hoopty didnt look like that once it showed up. It looked 500x better of course.... they are cutting all the faces today and in a few days i am driving to Turlock for some measuring and exact fitment and maximum dish. I chose these wheels because i got the big ass Lexus (Brembo) brakes......and im not tryin to hide them I really want to paint the brakes on the Lex either stainless'ish or shite so they REALLY pop. ill update this thread when i know more! in the meantime lets see your photoshops!

looking REAL clean and Classy!!! -
I dont have dough like Chicken does......but it was MUCH more affordable to go with a katzkin interior (*sp). You can get LEATHER, SUEDE, any color, scheme you want and it looks awesome when done! My Tahoe turned out great. getting seats hand tailored like chickens with the finest material you can find is not the affordable way to go for sure LOL! EDIT: DAVID - I TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD YOU AND RE-READ WHAT YOU POSTED.....you are already gettin yours done sorry! Anyway for those that dont know about katzkin, that is a good route to go so i will leave my post intact LOL

again, i dont know what makes you guys think that since its no P.O.S. by any means...i was at the dealer when he got it and IIRC it was $60,000 stock. Don't think me or James meant to say it was a POS. It was more or a "What is a Lincoln doing in a Caddy mansion?!?!" type of deal. And I think I remember the build on that Navi, wasn't it originally for one of his friends? thats what i figured but i wasnt sure.....anyway if you look at it that way you guys are right LOL. Then again there is a '59 there too.... anyway the Navi was originally for his girl at the time. He 86'd her and took it back. He sold it to his gramps who had it for a year or 2. Gramps passed on (RIP) and he got the navi back. I think it still works great, i should get some video of it because i wasnt heavily into youtube when i finshed that project.

sure......and we probably will on the next phase. The work can never END-end....if you know what im sayin. There is always something to do. For now though its all working and looks good so no hurry. Its just as expensive as the other cars in the pic though....especially with the system its missing a tail light, and the windshield is cracked...i couldnt get it done before it left but as you might know, its removable and he has 2 other sources to raise/lower the car....in other words i can go get it any time and get it painted without affecting him much. I gotta find a dub car just like that one and grab some parts. My sons used to have some but they are long ruined and destroyed LOL again, i dont know what makes you guys think that since its no P.O.S. by any means...i was at the dealer when he got it and IIRC it was $60,000 stock.

Just like my Tahoe, although one phase can be completed, its NEVER really done. This portion of the Hoopty project is.....and after he enjoys it for a while, we will make a few more improvements which i already have planned. As the system itself, which was done a few years ago......we may upgrade some of the componants. Same for the air-ride. I would like to redo his air-system AGAIN to even more modern stuff. For now, its back home and i can start working on other things.....namely my ISF, the Towers, the BDCP swap in the 'hoe.......and who knows what else. Im always busy on something! anyway, one last vid of it rolling in the Cali sun and off to Chicken Hill it went. FYI: Its flat-bedded, rather then driven, because he lives an hour away and i need to follow it in my car.....so i can get home

I humbly say thank you sir.

hahha thanks bro, me too! i cant stop looking at it when im near it also Thanks to Red-Navi for the help yesterday......he stopped by to borrow my recover disc for a mac-mini and ended up staying for a few hours and giving me a hand. He didnt touch the paint, i think he learned his lesson From what he told me there was no lesson learned. But that could just be him talking. But Looks sick the windows and color boy o boy really? seemed like a perfect gentleman yesterday....and he didnt touch the paint i sure hope after we had a nice day yesterday and all he didnt go back and start talkin shit.
