The drop is finally back from paint (pics)

[SLAMDIT]

Hey everyone,
As some of you know, my 94 Cutlass Convertible has been going under heavy reconstruction. I have gotten the car back from paint, and while it isn't 100% back together, I thought I would share some pics. I don't expect everyone to like it because it is a bit extreme. If everyone loved it, it wouldn't be custom. To me part of customization is expressing myself through a vehicle. The tail lights will be relocated into the reverse light bar. We are still plastic welding the sockets from the tail lights into the light bar so it isn't intstalled yet. I post it when it is done.
Next up for the car is new interior, some suspension work, and setting the car up to add Nitrogen tanks to the suspension.
Ok, enough chat, here are the pics.....sorry for the quality, taken from my camera phone

And just for kicks, here is a pic from right after I bought it showing how much it has changed in the 18 months I have owned it. (the red 95 in the background belongs to my father-in-law. It was formerly teal. Now it is a 1994 Caddy tri-coat red. Very expensive paint, very clean car)

:Werd:

[runt]

Wow. That is some HARD work put into that IMO. Unsure if I'm really lovin' it, but damn she looks good.

[Cam'ron]

giggity thats hot... i like it except for the rims but that might just be me i like spokes

[ToroToro]

Cool. That red vert looks sweet too. 'Cept the whitewalls.

[3pt1lumina]

Ya know, I am not one for customization BUT I really think this came out great! I know how much time, effort and money goes into this kind of stuff. Props dude can't wait to see her after she's fully assembled!

[97CuttySupSL]

nice work..just not my style

[GutlessSupreme]

:puke: sorry man, not diggin it at all...

i'm a car show guy, love air ride, and hydros, love big wheels, and foater rims, but i think i have to say for once in my life that i don't like a custom paint job. I think the lines of the older cuttys are soft ridid lines, if that makes sense, and the "pink" is too rounded. Maybe if you get some higher quality pics up it'll look better. Either way i applaud you for being unique and all the hard work/$$$ put into it.

[SLAMDIT]

Thanx for all the comments guys... There is definately a classy way and a moron way of saying your feelings on someones ride. Most of you were classy about your opinions which says alot about this group of people.
Xtremelumina: I agree that higher quality pics may tell a different story, good or bad. I almost didn't post these but I couldn't wait. Plus being right in the sun is making all the colors hard to see. I am not sure which color you called pink (i'm colorblind) but it is silver on top, white on the bottom. Then you can't really see it but the separating color is orange with a blue pinstripe.
If I had it to do all over again, I would have done a few things different on the car, but I'm not so I won't.
Once the interior and stuff is done I will post more pics of the finished product and they will be magazine quality :cool:

see ya,

Sean

Dude I think it looks sick!!! I love air-ride and I'm thinking about doing it to my GP. Good job on all the work and can't wait to see her when she's all done!!!!!

[97loudcut]

:puke: sorry man, not diggin it at all...



i think we know the moron way..

that said, i enjoy your creativity. knowing that you have a car that no one else will ever have (air ride, rims, and custom paint) has to make you sleep well at night. More power to you andget some better pictures please.

[Euro]

that looks amazing!!! nice work :cool:

[J]

i didn't mean to offend the color of the pin stripe, even here at work it looks sortta magenta/pinkish. If it is a orageish color that would help the look of the car. Oh and when you get pics of the bag set up PLease send them my way! :biggrin:

[SigEpCutlass]

I'm not a fan of the top color you chose. However, I'd say that car looks awesome overall. I'd rock it. Give us a hint of what you were going to do to the interior. :wink:

[GutlessSupreme]

:puke: sorry man, not diggin it at all...



i think we know the moron way..


and a big fuck you too, smartass :)

and thanks for calling me a moron, slam.

If I wanted to be an asshole I could've gone out and said "thats fucking disgusting, why the fuck would you make your car look like a piece of white trash?"

yea. but I didn't.

No offense, but you just proved him right. You should have stopped while you were ahead. Enough said, continue topic as scheduled.

[GutlessSupreme]

I was giving an example of the proper "moron way" vs. my relatively conserved way.

[runt]

What just happened? lol

[SigEpCutlass]

What just happened? lol

:wink:

Seriously back to subject so the topic doesn't get locked. That's not cool guys...

[Euro]

so yeah...back to the badass bagged cutty!!!! :thumbsup:

[GP1138]

Wow, I agree with Gutless, but I think the work is TITS! Good job on it!

And nobody needed to call anyone a moron.

[SLAMDIT]

Ok, I am not here to piss anyone off or offend anyone. Anything I have said is not meant to be taken personally or with any disrespect..... My point is simple..... Ure shit may not be what I would rock and my shit may not be what any of you would rock.... All I am sayin is I am just as insane about the "W-body" as the next guy. This is my interpretation of what MY ultimate "W" would be. If you hate my shit, that is totally fine with me, I would probably hate your shit too. We have different tastes, no problems here. I am just trying to make myself known as a reputible car builder. I love these cars, I think stock sux, and I love building the customs that no one else has. If anyone took my last post personally, I apologize. I assure evryone here that I am here to promote the good of these cars, not the bad.
If I have offended anyone then I apologize. I never meant anything negative to anyone. I just wana build my ride and be cool with everyone. I'm not a hater and I don't wana cause any drama. I joined this site for the same reason I joined the (taurus) SHO Forum. I am obsessed with a car that society could give 2 shits about.

Peace out......

Sean :thumb:

[3pt1lumina]

No hating coming from over here. I think being unique is a good thing. I mean, if we all wanted the same things that were cool I don't think we'd be driving Wbodys...

okay maybe I'd be haha..


Dude what are you going to do for the interior?

[brianhasadd]

We see what you're saying. And I have to say, you're car is still awesome!!!!!!

[ShockTherapy]

that thing is HOT!

are there any more pics of that red one, i'm just trying to get a better idea of the color ??

[ZoomZoomFan]

I am obsessed with a car that society could give 2 shits about.

Me too me too! We're obsessed with different cars, but society could care less about either one of them.

Very nice looking CS by the way. I really like the paintjob.

[intern8tion9l]

i think the car is damn sexy. love to see it at a show somewhere

[White93z34]

i remeber you telling me about it at the colombus meet, it turned out really nice, airbags and big wheels aren't my thing, but damn i love the paint on it. i want to see some pictures of the back of it, and if you can get some good high quality pictures of it.

[Crazy K]

not my taste, but good job!!!

I'd love to see how you bagged it!
-ken

[z34_nut]

IMO, that car is very nice...

I like the paint, wheels and the drop.

[SLAMDIT]

Hey thanx for all the props! The car is back at the body shop being finished right now. I just had it for a day to fix an air ride problem. It should be done by friday and once it is home and assembled, I will put up better pics. I still have alot of work ahead of me but I am trying to have it completely done by mother's day weekend. Fwiw, if anyone lives in Northern Kentucky, the car's first major show will be at Cruisefest Nationals the weekend of Mother's Day. My car club is bringing about 30 vehicles down for that show.
Hope to see a few of ya there.

later

Sean

[mortsmel]

looks pretty sweet ... think you should find some rims to go with that paint job though ...

[2CUTTYS]

Sending you my 94 cutlass convert and excpet it back in 1 month :biggrin: :biggrin: LOVE THE AWESOME RIDE First car i have ever liked slammed down and would love it have it. OMG the paint jobis awesome and silver makes it look hellish . THE WHOLE CAR IS A 10 GREAT JOB I except that the air is custom job? never seen anything for the wbody. damn still wetting myself

[luminaz34]

ok i have seen this car in person and i will let everyone know that the car looks amazing. everything was done right and it really shows that all the hard work and effort have really paid off to this car.

[brianhasadd]

I've been a fan of the car since the first time I saw it. I love the airbag set-up. Not to fond of the wheels but it's your car!!!!

[Navybass]

I like it. It's different. It doesn't conform to all the other cars around. You made it as an expression and extension of yourself, that's why I like it.

Others may not like it, but that's because it doesn't conform to their "standards".

Very nice job.

[SLAMDIT]

Hey guys, sorry for the belated response, I haven't had internet in 2 weeks due to my phones being messed up. Thanx a ton for all the compliments, I really appreciate it. Just for an update, the whole interior is being redone now. The interior scheme will be white leather and silver suede. I will post pics when it is done. I can't wait, should look pretty hot. We are working 4-6 hours per night on this damn car. Once everything is done I will post high quality pics. We are preparing for a huge ass show in Biloxi Ms the weekend of June 23. If I am lucky I may even get some magazine coverage. I need to buy a w-body sticker so I can represent.
If nuthin else I will see everyone at the Ohio meet.

lata,

Sean
