eurokevin Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 hey, im giving a realistic time that this car will be painted and running in a few years because im trying to buy a house and the car comes second. anywho, it's a 1977 that im putting a 1uz with a w58 trans into. when i get to it i will post tutorials about the swap. but my problem is the car has a 1 piece gnose, fiberglass fenders, stretched in the rear, and has a corvette greenwood spoiler. i know i want a front air dam, and i have to do something with the rear wing. here's some pics of the car now. i need some ideas of what to save up for/what i like.

Challenger Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Its the vent car!!! I really like the look of this. Its just a xenon urethane airdam and front lip. You can buy the airdam from MSA and the lip you can easily make yourself with a sharpie and a big piece of wood. (to make template) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurokevin Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Its the vent car!!! lol yea it's a bit scary. im removing them all but the front lower vents are being replaced by 1970 trans am vents. im still and f-body driver at heart lol.btw car looks nice.

veritech-z Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 What car are those rear louvers supposed to fit? they don't look like they were originally designed for the S30... Are you looking to replace the 1-piece gnose, or just add an airdam to it? I know if I had a gnose on mine, I'd go for the whale tail. Unfortunately those are made of unobtanium, which is getting more scarce by the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurokevin Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 i want to add an airdam to the gnose. and i was kinda diggin the f40 style wing because the body is modified and i think it'd look good. except since the car is stretched i'd have to stretch the wing too. the window louvers are from a 1978 corvette. same as the rear spoiler.

eurokevin Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 lol yea. i got it from him without engine or trans. he was right about the rust, almost none whatsoever on the car. but that's ok. i got a good strong 1uz for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurokevin Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 i was hoping someone had some good photoshop skill that could change the car a bit so i'd know how it'll look with a few modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 You'll have to be a bit more specific about a "few modifications", but there are plenty of people that are relatively conversant in photoshop (and a few that are pros) that might be able to help out.

eurokevin Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 well. if someone would be kind enough to photoshop this car for me, i want the vents on the fenders removed.the rear spoiler moved forward so the end of the spoiler meets the back of the car.and with the front end....i know i want it to be lower with a lip. but i want the center section :about a foot: cut out with only the lip at the bottom. or if someone could point me in the direction of a how to photoshop kind of website, I'd be thankful because i know this is a lot to do for me.
