From: in theaters soon, o hi yo, usabiatch
Was up!
It's been a while since I made a thread so I will start by introducing myself and our crew. I'm Jose from Cleveland, OH and our crew is called LMP (Last Minute Projects). It seems that we always wait till the last possible minute to get **** done, hence the name. We are a small crew, about 10 of us, that have been friends for like 10 years and we have been building cars for that long. We don't consider ourselves to be Honda Gods or anything like that because we don't build trailer queens. We like simple, functional cars that we can drive just about every day. We build cars for ourselves not to impress the internet snobs. There are few in our group who had kept the same car for years while the rest pretty much have build something to turn around and sell it when is done. LOL.
Anyways, enough BS. Here's one of the cars that we are trying to finish before IA 2012 summer meet. We are racing against the clock to get it done. Everything on this car, just like the majority of our cars, is been put together in someone's garage. From motor swaps to paint, we try to do it all. We take pride in doing it ourself. We know that sometimes they are not perfect but like I said, we don't have show cars or trailer queens
This car belongs to my brother Rafael. It's 1998 Civic EX auto he bought as a shell about 2 years ago. We named it, El Chango, which means Black Crow in Spanish. I don't have the list of mods yet because we have to sit down and put it all together.
I will update as we go along. Hope you guys enjoy this build as much as we are. Please feel free to comment also. Sorry about the crappy pics but I didn't have my camera that day. I will later post pics of the other cars as they are been worked on.
***Just a reminder is still a shell as of today***
Enjoy!!!









And here's my little man getting dirty with my brother. Gotta teach them at an early age. LOL.
