You can't do murals or anything like that anymore because everything these days has to be cookie cutter, otherwise, no one respects it and talks shit about it.

The only people that would even appreciate something like that would be old school people like us...

targa tops - search google. im sure someone still makes that shit. they were easy as hell to install! there was a company back in the day called "ratical tops" they made all those convertibles / targas / roofs / etc!



I COULDNT HAVE SAID THAT BETTER MYSELF! that being said, i think im going to say fuk it and rock a mural on the new 83 toyota! im also considering rocking a stainless flat bar grille. im definately going to rock all the factory chrome! one solid color and a mural! might not even bag it! im thinkin of air shockin that bitch with compressors! wheels no large than 18"!

hey goober how bout u scan in my truck from reader rides sometime in 2000 or 2001
j.t.

no prob! ill get it on here for ya! probably in the morning though...

i love seeing all the old school rides, hell it was about 6 years ago when i splashed the front of the truck.all my friends made fun of me and i told them it would come back.i was thinking about doing air shocks too,definately like the fact that they still make a targa top kit.i remember texas minis all too well my first heatwave was 1993 just out of high school and seeing texas minis and another club called trendsetters made me want a truck and slam the hell out of it

I got it....September 1993 issue I was in Texas Minis with Vern. I'll try and scan it for you.

I should have known you would find it. Thanks .

HAHA.....getting to damn old and grumpy!

Vern was the shit. I remember bumping and grinding in Corpus for the Autorama show with like 15 people in the back of his truck (walk through). Nothing like having 4 18" woofers powered by a power 1000 listening to 2 live crew as you are loosing parts bottoming out.

my dads 78 was built in the early 80s when murals was popular and till this day the truck has the same paint job as it did in the 80s, less the dents from the hurricane but he said theres alot of coats of clear on the lacquer paint, but i was raised around old skool rod and river runs and i like murals, thats why im wanting a camper shell im going old skool

i think donks have killed the whole mural thing coming back..... down hurr in tha dirty souf all the ghetto sleds on 30"s have airbrushed ish...all over them

^ LOL! speakin of donks, i saw a 65-ish stang today on 28" rims and a truck frame (it had radius arms in the front!!!) dont know why i didnt think to take a pic w/ my phone.
