Default Custom Vettes

Lets see some pictures of some custom vettes. This is what mine looked liked before I started working on it putting the 80 rear and I am still undecided on the front bumper. Pic:
Also I need to know how to post the pictures direct instead of in the link form. Thanks

Could you post some more pics of the frontend? It is definately unique, and from the shot i see, I like it.

If you look at the tool bar above the window you type your post in, you will see one button that looks like a picture of mountains. Click that, then type in the url that links to your photo. You have to type in the direct path to your photo, not to the page that displays your photo.

The syntax would be [IMG] htttp://www.mypic.com/pics/image.jpg [/IMG] but take out the spaces. And voila:

Hey I did not do that to the car I bought the car for 1275 with the front and rear end like that. The car has a 80 rear and the 75 surround on it now. I will post pics later. And what does the weed thread have to do with anything

Basically they are saying that you would have to be SERIOUSLY WASTED to do that to a vette

and I have to agree, but I read that you BOUGHT the car like that so I won't hold it against you

Don't take everything you read seriously, they are not talking about you just the person responsible for it.
