I have a 55 dodge royal and I was thinking that maybe I should suicide the back doors and lamborghini the front. Or shave the door handles and just suicide the back doors.What do you guys think.If you want to know what one looks like www.dealsonwheels.com Also if you have any other ideas such as paint colors,air ride supension, tires& rims etc,etc.I would like to hear them too

How would you "Lamborghini" the front end of a `55 Royal? Got pics?

Ummm....what kind of carputer were you thinking of adding to it?

Are you going to put a PC in it

suicide the back doors thats about as far as i would go and maybe shave the handles,but i think all the shaving of stuff is getting out of hand. Personaly i like a car that makes you have to do a double take on the custom work.Less is more

No I am not going to put a pc in it.Do you guys have any other ideas?

I have several Ideas.

Do not suicide the doors. Shave the handles, Do alot of work to fix the body on it. Keep is as original as possible because it will be worth alot more $$$$$$. Do alot of work on the interior and all the details inside and out. I'm not very fond of people lowering older cars and doing all this hi tech BS too so an old classic.

How is the shape of it inside and out? Hows the engine, transmission. rear end, and suspension?
How much money do you have to work with it?

I do not plan on saleing. So who care how much the value goes down.[QUOTE=JimsZR2]I have several Ideas.

one question, why are you posting here? this is a computer mod site, and we do have a rides section, that if any thing would be more appropriate for this kind of stuff.

i agree with u on this rampage, im not one to really raz on people but this is a computer modding portion of this page there is a rides section in this page so maybe try their first
GL with anything u do

I'm still wondering what he meant by "Lamborghini" the front end.. Sounds like a good way to destroy a classic car

Sounds like a 14-15 year old that found a 55 Dodge on the back 40 of his grand daddys property and was told he could have it. Now polling for crack pipe dreams from others.

I think what he meant by "lambo front" he was referring to the doors, make the rear doors suicide and front doors scissor like, just like a lambo or other exotic cars. At least thats how I interpreted it anyway....

If memory serves me right, the '55 Royal was a boat of a car. Those sorts of cars have all kinds of crazy potential. If you're going for the 'tricked out' look, my suggestion would be to shave all four door handles. Suiciding the back doors would be sweet, it's done all the time but it's always nice.

As for air ride, it's cool and I'm planning on putting it on my truck when I get some money, but I don't know if I'd put it on a car like you have. I'd definitely lower it down, sit it real close to the ground.

As for the wheels and tires, I can't tell you what tires to get, but depending on what kind of look you're going for really dictates the wheels. However, Boyd Coddington makes a lot of good-looking wheels that would probably fit your application. It'd be an old school car with a new school twist. Billetwheel.com

That's about all the advice I can give you. Please keep us updated on the project! It sounds sweet! Best of luck.
