love that gas filler relocation thingy! where can i buy one? :P
looking mean so far. good to see more j-bodies doing it.
Thanks guys. I don't know if they make a kit for the relocation. I just used the old filler and moved it over, cut the bend turned it upsidedown and welded it back together. the pipe lined back up with the filler from the tank and I just put an old piece of rubber gas tank hose around it with hose clamps to connect the ends so I wouldn't have to try and weld it while it was attached to the gas tank. It doesn't leak and no fumes get into the car. Its not too complicated I can take some pics of the tubes under the fender if you want.
wow this looks awesome. I planned on making my first car ( a sunfire ) low and wide since the rear fenders are so wide already, but unfortunately I was t-boned and it was totalled. The conversion is interesting as well, kind of confusing but def gives the car a more aggressive look to it, which is somewhat hard with sunfires.
I have been working on the car some more. It is about 1/4" lower all around, I redid the exhaust with a new header collector and 2.5" all the way back. I was playing with my camera last night so here is a new pic.

I put some 8mm spacers on the front wheels (I'm going to get some 10mm soon) and finished tinting all the signal lights. Anyway here are a few finished pics.
Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas that would make the car better I'm always open to suggestions.
looking good...
it's come a long way man, can't wait to see what's next on the agenda
Looking good, you should lower more and put camber in the back, would look killer. Put keep up the good work.

Thanks guys. I have been talking to some VW guys about suspension parts I am going to try and mount up some stock springs and shocks to see if they are a direct bolt on and if they aren't how much I will have to modify to make them work. But there will be a legit set of coilovers on the car sometime, probably sooner than later. Then after that there will probably be wider wheels and some stretched tires with some more negative camber or maybe make a wide-body kit or something. I'm not for sure yet I'm still throwing ideas around.
