I love the lines of the car, and the quality of your build looks fantastic. The colour just works so well on the car. I love it.

Wheelies look cool and makes for a great Photo,
But,
The car is 18ft long, so doesnt tend to come down gently, especially when you have to come off the throttle. The car got out of shape towards the guard rail, so to stop it coming down on top of the rail, Dave came off the throttle when it was verually on the back bumper. Bent a few things. So its got wheely bars on now.
(bottom two pics are the "out of shape incident"

Heres a picture showing the ride height, Impala's are used extensively by the Low Rider community.
Ours is not airbagged, its fixed at this height



ha ha, wont go over bumps in the road, but Bang Shift said it had the ride height to scalp an ant, lol.

Not to worry, you could wheelie over the bumps.

Awesome car, looks fantastic and is getting some serious height on the launch !!

Bet thats a thrill to drive.

DOOMSDAY is DOOMSDAY today, at Santa Pod 5.25pm today she went into the wall.
Its took about a 12" wide band of paint off front to back,
front clip, door, and rear quarter, plus smashed the corner light.

Car still drives, but so it battle damaged badly.
Its not game over and we can still race, but theres a big winter project on the horizon

Bahhh. Thats racing as they say...........

[rb5er]

Harsh news.

[doomsdayimpala]

pictures from today where she tagged the wall.
bahh, bummer, bu##er, #uck etc etc...
you get the picture.

[rb5er]

It doesnt look as bad as I was expecting. At least nobody got hurt.

[Slinky]

Just bodywork damage I hope chaps? I'll come have a nose at some point over the next few days..

[aka_kerrly]

Awesome bit of kit.

[Mr Dave]

I love the front grill/lights.

[jamiep]

Such a cool looking drag car.

[ls3steve]

Shame about the damage, awesome car.
