Oh man does that look sexy!

I think it looks better with the chrome wheels that are on it in the first pic, just my opinion though.

hmmm...the problem with the chrome rims..

when i bought the car, it had the wheels that you see on the back of the car, all around. they were VERY rusty, and the ones on there had hours and hours of polishing with naval jelly to clean them up, and now theyre nice 10 foot wheels. the front wheels arent bad, but i just dont care for the design, and worst of all, i hate that the front and back dont match.

another reason that im going with those black cragars is that there are SUPER inexpensive. i want new (matching) wheels, and since ive not found anything that im "in love" with, so rather than spend big money on wheels that i might not like, im buying the cheapest wheels that summit sells...so when i see a wheel that i think "that will be perfect on the demon", i havent already spent a bunch of money on other wheels, that arent perfect.

also, i want the car to look sort of "retro racer"...i have a diecast of a 68 roadrunner "shine car", with flat black accents and black wheels...although the car is grey, i think that the demon would make a cool shine runner car..very little chrome (no body chrome), no stripes, no engine badges (right now) and i will eventually have glass bumpers...

and at some point, id like to get something like weld prostars, but its still a budget build.

Looks good man!

I like the stance

If you don't mind me asking... how do you like that type of air cleaner?

Thats why I was asking. Personally, i'd never run one on my car. I've heard alot bad things about them. Falling apart and going down the carb, ect ect...

honestly, i hate it, and i intend to change it soon. i actually have a normal K&N air cleaner that i use on longer trips and such, but the top isnt very nice looking, so i put this thing on when im sitting around with the hood open. i dont like how it looks either, but its new and looks better than the other filter. i think that id like to get one of those flow top K&N lids.
