i did a quick search and didn't see this - if it's a duplicate feel free to kill it, cliff

I've wanted one since the first time I saw it lol.

It is getting very good comments. That surprises me. I've decided to do my own version of this concept on my '85. I would like to have longer control arms to give me more suspension travel but since the passenger side axle is the longest one GM ever made for FWD cars, I know at least one axle will have to be custom. I don't know if I can weld in a section to make it longer or if it would interfere with the cradle either way. I don't want to use the cradle spacers like the Jalapeno does. I'd rather have actual increased ground clearance and suspension travel. Maybe I can make a longer axle AND modify the cradle. We'll see.

This Photoshop "paint" in Gulf colors looks pretty good.

Make sure and do a build thread

Of course! Gotta finish the iGTO bumper first, though or Crazydragn might do some kind of tiger-crane dance on my face!

I think at the least the article relieves me in that I thought for a while PISA's status was in the dark. They haven't updated their webpage in forever and most all their kits on the second hand market are older splashes. I thought they had potentially shut down since we hear like NOTHING from them.
