Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I think the late 80:ies, early 90:ies cars, well, what are you going to do to make them special? The 24" rims could be the natural route. It's not like the tricks used on 40, 50, 60 or 70:ies cars would work as well on them. They're too blocky. You can't turn a 1986 Cutlass Ciera into a slammed and chopped 1950 Mercury no matter how hard you try.

The rat rod circus is a lot of fun. Enormous amounts of creativity. Anything goes. Semi truck wheels, re-bar grilles, three foot shifter handles. I like it. I wouldn't go there myself but that's just me.

First of all, let me start by stating that I don't think I'm a racist. It just dawned on me that one trend that's different between whites, blacks, and Hispanics is that Caucasians are more likely to build cars that are horsepower orientated and mimic race cars (either drag or road course).

The donks and lowriders seem more laid back with a concentration on creature comforts like DVD players, subwoofers, sunroofs, heavily padded diamond-tucked upholstery, gold plating, wire wheels, etc...

There does seem to be a mix between the cultures with the rice burners. Again, they're not my cup of tea but that's generally because I don't care for the body styling.
