I just ordered all brand new Spohn upper/lower control arms and panhard bar - they will be red and will set the brakes off even more. I know its not everyones favorite but i dig the red brakes on this scheme. To me it sorta breaks it up a little....and the fact that they are almost $7000 worth of Wilwoods, they can stay just the way they are the control arms will set the rear off nice, just watch! Oh, the parts being put back on will as well. Sidesteps are coming back on because this is a Caddy, not a Tahoe... stay tuned!

fresh out of the booth, not cut & buffed yet. still has a lonnng way to go and the pics do NOT do it justice. You need to see it in person! Maybe the video i make later will show it better while its moving click here to leave a comment! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/906-chickens-2002-caddy-the-hoopty-8-18-fi-btl-rockford-fosgate-2-t15k-amps-new-rims-on-page-325/page__st__6540 thanks!

This still has lots of work to do. I love all you guys (no homo) but im not going to change anything unless i feel like it - so either like it or dont but the suggestion box is closed LOL! Its not that i dont care what you would have done, just do it how you would have done it and make your own thread......id love to see! Oh and a new BANGER from Psyph Morrison! Stay tuned for that!!!

please save your photoshops for your own computer.....i dont need them posted here. I think you did a nice job on photoshop but im not feeling it at all. Im not a fan of full color matched wheels. Again, thanks anyway, but I will do the picture posting in this thread.

nope thats what happens when you lower one of these that far...its getting all new Adjustable upper/lower control arms and panhard bar like my Tahoe soon....should be able to correct it a little. Since it is bagged though, when its lifted, it centers a little better. It could use a small adjustment at ride-height but not much.

damn bro very sorry to hear that...stay strong man

they honestly feel softer....i dont know why, they just do. I can feel the difference. I cant wait to put more stuff on!

updated my original post to add pics and a video

actually i was filming live on ustream today......just got home. Shits lookin very tasty!

oh shit, those pics are all "oily" lookin since it was JUST worked on and gettin ready for the bandage.....so its far from complete - ill post more after the next session

i do 2 hour sessions at a time and all the ink combined (with this artist (Bill Liberty)) i have 60+ hours in the chair....and i always wonder What the fuck i am doing there again every time as soon as the needle hits LOL - shits no joke in some spots, but you forget the next day LOL carefull lol shits addicting it hasnt even been a month since my first one and i already have scheduled 4 appts ova the next 3months i am booked up till summer at least lol - its a 3 month waiting list for Bill, so i have to make sure im on the books to get my shit finished......but tats are like cars, you either buy one thing for it and its done.......or it is a project thats never really done. One of the two LOL thanks!!! ya bro i have a few more pics from last friday. I didnt wanna post till it all came together a little more but here it is anyway....it is in its early stages and will look pretty damn clean when the shading is done (like the others) - but its still VERY early on this phase so i have some Pissed off "star" guys, a "concerned" star-guy......a pissed off sun below that, some moons below that (one is chillen, the other is like "WTF!" lol - its something that is just sorta happening as i go but tying in well again please dont judge till i got a few more hours on it! more updates soon!

looks nice! congrats!

actually after lookin at it some, the blue looks ok in that pic.....i dont hate it, because the rims look so dope they would look good any color. I dont think it would look right on the caddy though, especially considering the dish would also have to be candy to match and its just not gonna happen at this point. guys just enjoy the project for what it is, the suggestions are irrelevant to me to be quite honest...but thanks anyway.

i fucking LOVE the way these look minel Ugly. Nice photoshop job though, i wish i was that good! smartass LOL hellz ya! lol

my Tahoe has been on the same exact tires for 15 months now with no problems at all.....of course you have to be careful, its part of the game but as far as driving, they are surprisingly great tires for being so small. Pirelli FTW

yes, yes they do! already been researched, i know what to get

21s? I'm guessing they're custom. Does Pirelli make tires for 21s? yezzir they do..... i always thought my 20's on the IS250 were just a hair too small but i knew 22's would be too big....i think 21's would be just right! If that falls thru, i am for sure getting some 20's

I think Ali is going to make me some Offset 3 piece 21" wheels for the ISF - stay tuned for that one too

The rims for Chickens Caddy are in.....i know i posted these in the caddy section but they deserve a spot here too As most of you know these rims were custom "tailored" for the caddy. Ali from AZA/Sinister wheel drove up, with the wheels from Turlock 3 times during this build to make sure everything was correct....and that they are! Check out the pics...you will see them on the Caddy some time next week when its out of the paint booth. in case you missed it, Here is the first video as the wheel was brought over fresh out of the CNC for fitment... More pics when she is out of the paintbooth!

thanks!! thats good, i feel like i made the right decision if Pitbull approves LOL! The man does have good taste

oh, upper and lower rear control arms are in...video will be up tomorrow - they are lovely!

just wanted to share something cool someone sent me a link and it looks as though my panhard bar video made it to the front page of http://chevyhardcore.com/ If you have a lowered chevy you need this piece! Watch the video and read the write up to see why! I got it at http://www.spohn.net

visited Greg at RE/USamps and got to sit inside the Smart Car for a little demo....this little thing POUNDS!! thanks greg for lettin me control the system and get a few vids of the experience! It was fun!

hmmmmm good stuff Jacob!!!
