Title: Forgotten 80's Arizona Late Looker Post by: Zach Gomulka on August 18, 2010, 18:18:05 pm Sling & I have been fixing this car up for a customer. He has been doing the mechanicals, and I just finished the revamp on the interior. I really dig this car. Enjoy :)

and the 8 spokes replicas actually look pretty good! are those by empi like the ones made nowadays? good job on the interior! Title: Re: Forgotten 80's Arizona Late Looker Post by: Lee.C on August 18, 2010, 23:00:06 pm Man what a COOL car! I would drive it " As Is" right this second (maybe just swap the exhaust ;))
Title: Re: Forgotten 80's Arizona Late Looker Post by: bugnut68 on August 19, 2010, 00:01:13 am I think the muffler is totally fitting for what the car is... totally '80s look! :-) Better than a stinger or big phat turbo muffler on an otherwise stock engine...;D

QP gets my vote every time, in all honesty! ;D Title: Re: Forgotten 80's Arizona Late Looker Post by: DKK Ted on August 19, 2010, 01:55:40 am I really dig that car, nice!
Ted Title: Re: Forgotten 80's Arizona Late Looker Post by: Zach Gomulka on August 19, 2010, 01:59:16 am Thanks guys ;D I tried to do an 80's style interior without it being too gaudy, and I think I got it :) The carpet was just from a kit, but the seats and panels were from scratch. It also got the protoype Hurst shift boot, before I made one up for AssHull's car. I've done the carpet on the bottom of every set of Cal look panels I have put together, it looks good and it is totally functional- keeps your foot from scuffing up the vinyl.
Yeah, we know the motor/exhaust is the weak link! Before long we'll have him talked into a thick wall 92 motor with QP's ;) If it was mine, I would totally rock the faded paint! It's as if the car has a story to tell. Although not nearly as iconic, the car reminds me of Dave Rhoads car before the refurb. And I think we can all agree that his looks much better with a fresh coat on it now! So in time, this late looker will get a nice exterior respray as well, and look better than the day it was built. Even with the "weak link", it is a total hoot to drive. Crank the sunroof back, turn up the tunes, and cruise 8) With only adjusters and a fat sway bar, it does however ride like a brick! No one noticed the frenched power ariel?! :o Title: Re: Forgotten 80's Arizona Late Looker Post by: Donny B. on August 19, 2010, 02:38:11 am Quote No one noticed the frenched power ariel?! I had to look more than twice to find it on the left front fender.... Cool! Title: Re: Forgotten 80's Arizona Late Looker Post by: javabug on August 19, 2010, 02:51:18 am Cool car...has some potential to be a real fun mobile. Deserves paint, in my opinion.
