Project L99

I'm just messin'. They look good! lower it, Lower It, LOWER IT!!

soon hopefully very soon, might go back to work a bit early.

White letter tires go almost all the way ( they have a bad relationship with their father.... I'll get the joke outta the way )

I'm running 215/70r15's on the caddy skinny whites.
When I can find time to smooth out the side wall's on a set Im gonna paint 4" whites with roofing paint, it's rubberized and is flexible so it won't crack.

Here's a white letter tire cut;

He needs that height for sweet jumps

how far would one coil do.

Ive still got those ss springs you need right here. If you cut, do one half coil at a time. If you want to do bags later, this isnt a bad alternative, just like we said, you half ass the work, you get a half ass car.

yep and I still want the springs btw. with a half coil out and ss springs will front be higher than rear. or is this gonna depend on what spring I have in the car. they are the soft ride ones.

drop it already ......




the wide whites look great...... how about a center cap? thought about doing bullet covers the lug nuts.... make it look wicked

Some guy in Germany seems to be stealing your ideas!

lmao even got the maltesse cross to. to bad looks like it was a DGGM car.

Ok
Just scanned your list^^^^
2 things
1) WTF is $49.99 Opti? OMG....I cant imagine
2) Flashed back to your Tow Impound post....you've come a long way since then.

i found a opti for 49.99 cant be worse than what i got and cant afford a ac delco. ive had alotof luck with off name parts for some reason. so dont jinx me. lol and i learned alot from that day. but lets not talk about it. lol

Yes I can. Do I want to ever again? NO!

i will time myself prolly 2 2.5 hours. ive done one before lol.and at the moment trying to save as much as possible. I see a LT1 in my future.

whats confusing about wanting a lt1

Grab that 95 road Master wagon Bartend1 has for sale! $200 forthe whole car. Get the engine and part the rest/send to scrap.

lol. I would have bought that car but no place to put it, condos suck

well project L99 comes to a sad close, well i got rear ended and pushed into a truck today by a Lexus doing approx 60mph. didnt try to stop either. he was drunk, and decided to try and run, all i got to say with a twisted frame, the quarter in the wheel the good ole Caprice put up a last hoorah because i wasnt about to let a drunk get away, so i chased him down tilll he came to park in his back yard, thank god the guys at the water dept saw the whole thing and called 911. I woulda killed him.

Ted I'm so sorry! Are you gonna insurance money?
I know where theres another L99.......
Was just starting to look really good too!

i am gonna go thru insurance but have no clue if they had it or not. guy was drunk, so he is locked up, and his mother was drunk to she got arrested for hitting the cops lol. i need another b body asap, but money, were to get some. i need one dirt cheap idc if it is 20 diff colors, looks like hell. but if they come total this it would be gone asap i want my parts.

Oh man, that sucks. Hope you're ok. Just you in the car?

Take the rims and gut as much of the interior and the engine as you can. scrap the rest,
Someone here (Lonnie?) was looking for a hood, save the small stuff and scrap the rest,

my back is toast got home and sat down now can barely move but yeah im ok i guess lol. luckly my son was home. i wish i had a dash cam for the chase, woulda made the cops look bad lol.

fenders are good fronts toast, hit a truck but funnyy they ran to. interior may come out and most of the engine parts, before they tow her away i may shed a tear over this. it was very sentimental to me. mirrors gotta come off to lol

This is in Malden right now look familiar?????

if i had 1000 right now i would i got like a 100 bucks, this winter killed me with no snow. and i was just looking at it, i guess i gotta wait till insurance cuts a check before i get another one.

Damn! Sorry to hear of the bad news man. I hope they get what they deserve and everything works out for you in the end. Dont jump into the first b you find next. Do some looking around or you'll be stuck with a lousy deal you cant get rid of...

this has never happened so now im lost idk what to do about insurance and what not.

You have to get their insurance info an put a claim in with their company.
They will send an appraiser and tell you what it's worth, you have the option to buy the car back from ins for what they deem salvage is worth, then they will cut you the check, If the other guy DOESN'T have insurance then you will have to try and sue them personally or take the loss and try and make as much as you can in parts,

So they say its valuse is 2000 and scrap is worth 300 i can get them to pay me 1700 and keep the car?

Man, I hope they have insurance. Its shocking how many people I had to send walking home and towed the car for no insurance/registration. Chances are you'll be in immediate traffic with about 2 I'd say per day.

i bet the truck that i rear ended in all this didnt have it either. he took off faster than the guy that hit me. they got him on about 5 diff thing i know of, dui, leaving scene of mva, leaving scene of injured person, destruction of property, destruction of town property, so he pretty screwed, and it was his mothers lexus and she hit a cop when they showed up. typical white trash cops episode.
