Strange they put chevy on it.

 

[chuzz]

Not my cup of tea, but someone did some very fine custom work on that one!

 

[421 SD Poncho]

That is a really well done photoshop.

It's been running around the net for years.

Notice that the bottom chrome work on the passenger side tail fin is angled out to the right more than it should be. It was the best they could do with what they had to work with.

Not too custom. But this was my first PT. I was on the waiting list for one of the first 5-speeds. Put on the California Cruisers side pipe exhaust, Metal Crafters front spoiler and rear spats, I did add the rear wing myself, and eventually added an OEM ghost flame kit in purple when those were available. Really liked that car, and loved how it looked.

2ndPT,

A very nice PT. It's done with taste and class and some other stuff.

OH WAIT --------You've got an 85 Dodge Omni GLH!!!

I'm speechless and also without words.

Congrats on that!

Yes. I learned to drive on a Horizon, and had an Omni through High School and College. Had a couple GLH's since as toys. One I fixed up. This one I had to just have fun driving. It only has 23,000 miles, but I am about to move on from it. Still one of my favorite cars of all time.

An owner named SOONERCRUISER Is constantly modding on this PT.

. . . and believe it or not, I always thought it looked better when he first bought it! But, can't blame him for making it his own and he's always had good taste!

Boyd Coddington's custom PT.

The man was a master of his craft.

You want flames, I got your flames fella!

How about a flamed car cover.

You picked the perfect set of wheels for your PT

Well done!

Jerry

Even looks good from the rear.

Which duals are those?

I see you went with the custom solid red taillights (no yellow for turn signals). I like it but of course I'm prejudiced when it comes to that style PT taillight.

Plese give us a history about you and your PT.

The duals? Do you mean the exhausts? They are handmade.
About the history of my PT... Well, I bought it this last January, less than a year ago. It was in very bad condition... Rusty and dented body, bad manteined engine,... A bad owner. But it have the air suspension and the exhaust mounted and legal. And a lowered body kit but not mounted and broken. The car needs a lot of work but it deserved a second chance. Four months of work, restoration and more modifications, and it's ready to 'shine'. Hehehe!!! This is a comparative of before and after.

And about me, I'm a Pinstriper from Barcelona, Spain, (Necksbreaker Pinstriping) and I'm a lover of old American cars... I had some of them in the past.

You can see all the restauration evolution on the Instagram profile 'PT Cruiser La Toxica'. 😉

 

[421 SD Poncho]

You did the right thing by removing the rear spoiler to make it more of a RAT ROD.

I like it but don't like how low it is. At least in my country the suspension would be ruined with pot holes.
