fabric paint looks decent . i painted my back seat black and red. the red doesnt come out as nice as i wouldve thought but the black makes it stand out. I will post pictures as soon as i get it finished. i didnt have enough paint to do it all. im probably going to do the front seats as well

fabric paint?..you mean like...dye right? let me get this strait, your back seats are now red and black while the rest of your interior is either grey or tan..sounds like a winner.

also 03 sleeper (sorry for multiple post btw) where did you buy your lowering spring's? i'm wanting to lower her but i think i'm going to put the exhaust on first because i think its a bad idea to lower her if im going to be buying bigger rims right? i need to see what fits then lower how so it doesnt rub. Correct?

I've seen a Camaro guy paint its seats with some kind of fabric paint.
it looked really really good.
Have to look if I find the pics again.
I considered this, after seeing it, at least as an option.

You can certainly lower it with larger than stock diamter rims, I don't know who told you that hogwash....

02-07-2011, 07:58 PM
the local tire shop. im not all that knloedgeable in the suspension. i mean would it rub if i lowered it on stockies then went to 17s if i didnt know my limit on the lowering?
Sloan92
02-07-2011, 07:59 PM
once its finished i promise ill get pics up like this weekend. im down the two side seats and the little right seat and ill be done
JLw7123
02-07-2011, 08:25 PM
it is not that hard to reupholster the seats and it will look a lot better when it is done. What are you going to do when the time comes and you want to sell it you think that people are going to like painted seats.
Sloan92
02-07-2011, 08:46 PM
if it comes down to that its as easy as putting in a pair of seats that i have.....
Sloan92
02-07-2011, 08:47 PM
and its not going to look stock anymore. somebody will like it. Not everyone thinks like you

The tire/wheel combo sits below the spring perch meaning.......when you lower a vehicle, everything above it comes closer to the springs perch, but the distance from the tire/wheel combo to the perch DO NOT change.
so......go back to the tire shop and tell them when they know how to do more than change the oil on the car to give you and call and you might let them mount your wheels and tires.....

lol that's why i let my dad do all the work he's ASE certified im rebuilding a 318 small block for my 72 dart swinger so far its got rebuilt head's mopar purple series cam i forgot the lift and duration but it it sounds MEAN cammed, stock internals edelbrock highrise intake and tti headers 3"outlet on the headers.

So you know all about that motor stuff, yet you don't know a simple suspension setup?

Sloan92
02-07-2011, 09:27 PM
this is one of those weekend warriors lol dont plan on drag racin this car. cruisin mostly but the cam is pretty radical for the 318 lol i might be able to pump out 12 miles to the gallon lol! i need a bigger torque converter though. She isnt pushin enough RPM's to spin the back tires, Its sad my rear ends got 4:10 gears but a lil sissy TC lol

ive ran it at the track once did 13.68 cant complain for a lil 318 with minimal performance addons

notice the cubic inches......3.7, not a 3.4
Sloan92
02-07-2011, 09:42 PM
i mustve misread it i seen 3.4 i assumed it was for your alero. Wait what car you droppin this in? as i dont think they've made a stroker kit for a 3.4...LOL (joke)
Sloan92
02-07-2011, 09:43 PM
i don't know alot about these newer cars ive been raised around classic mopars.
kwhauck
02-07-2011, 09:44 PM
yes the alero, custom stroker......
Sloan92
02-07-2011, 09:44 PM
who made your stroker kit?
kwhauck
02-07-2011, 09:47 PM
a stroker can be ground down from a 3500 crank, this one is from jbody performance but will have to be checked and then checked again, because they have gotten some bad rep...

i was thinkin of gettin a stroker kit for the 318 and making it a 390 if i was too ever make it a full out race car. it would run on race gas though
Sloan92
02-07-2011, 09:58 PM
my dad's runnin a plymouth duster with a 440 big block, with a tunnel ram, tti ceramic headers like mine cept for a 440 obviously, forged internals comp cam, roller rockers (forgot which brand) and a beefed up rack and pinion because this things broken a few rear ends.

02-07-2011, 10:13 PM
I got my springs from Ebay (be careful) and struts from summit. If your going to get bigger rims it NEEDS to be lowered IMO. there is way to much wheel gap on stock Aleros and it looks terrible. I'm only on stockers because I'm poor folk and cant afford new rims right now.
also, what engine do you have? and what exhaust are you wanting to run? just out of curiosity.
Thats a great looking car (and I'm a die-hard GM guy) but at least your other car isn't foreign..Looking forward to more updates on both cars
