also if it is birdmans, i'm pretty sure he can afford a real rolls and probably already has a few lying a round.. so thats kinda weird.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> @MEATWAVE: Use an early Beetle. The swingaxle rear suspension will give amusing camber angles with those 30-inch wheels.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> I remember seeing this on cribs. It belongs to some rapper...Birdman or Pigeonman, I forget.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> @Mad_Science: tell me when you can get a mid 90s GM (or better yet, mid 70s or 80s) for $800 and a GM Performance Parts crate motor on a finance plan... and maybe a plan on a Tremec gearbox... and Corvette suspension bits...

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> @Armand4: I watched a dude do that with a 70's Malibu. Nothing says 'cool' to on lookers quite like a corkscrewed drive shaft.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> Ha Ha..your car sucks. It reminds me of the VW superbeatle with the rolls grill. OH WAIT! Make a superbeatle/rolls/donk! Hell ya! oh wait I mean Hell No!

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> This whole "urban" vehicle modification thing is just plain stupid. Stupid is what you have to be to do that to a perfectly good car and pay oodles of money for it.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> I don't get it. When did the damn wheels become more important than the car???

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> At first i was shocked that the customizers spelled "Creations" correctly... then i checked out the "Rides" article linked in the earlier post...
[www.rides-mag.com]
"Spade Kreations". Of course!
What an absurdity.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> @POLAR: That picture looks Photoshopped to me, but for years there was a real, live, honest-to-god Silver Shadowamino running around Marin County, California. I haven't seen it in a while-- I think it was sold to a winery. But it used to get serviced at the local garage, and I would always ride my bike down to go see it. Maybe that's what started my 'mino fascination.

Armand Bengle

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> Ten bucks said nobody thought to beef up the driveline between that 572-inch motor and those ridiculous wheels. Which means, of course, that the first person who tries to impress (trashy) chicks by peeling out will wind up recreating "donked on the strip." I'm also willing to wager that nobody thought about changing the suspension to deal with the raised center of gravity and the huge amount of unsprung weight those wheels add.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> This car made me so angry, that I punched myself in the throat.

What a waste of a classic car and 150K.

I need a lozenge.

Euromobile

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> The funny part is, if this had the same front-end, different paint and different wheels (I'm thinking steelies), I'd be all for it.

The stylistic line between "Urban" and white trash grows ever blurrier.

Mad_Science

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> That is one FUGLY car! Someone PLEASE set it on fire!

Let me guess...commissioned by a rapper? A soon to be broke ass rapper when his talent runs out and he realizes that he should have invested his money instead of spending $150K on making a classic ugly.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> You mean they splashed the foam with fiberglass to make a mold, right? The front of that car isn't made out of fiberglass-covered foam. Is it?

badco/LoJ

]]> <![CDATA[How to Build A Phantom Caprice]]> So, for $150,000 they ruined a perfectly good vintage Caprice and created something even uglier and more vulgar than a real Phantom. Mission accomplished I suppose.

This seems all the more retarded when you consider what preowned Silver Seraphs are going for these days. 150 grand could easily get you into a low mileage, nearly-new , REAL Roller built by the fine folks at Crewe.
