Default where are all the creative minds?

Seems no one is putting in time on their cars any more... Its always "Hey all, I have an idea, but before I do it, post pics, I wanna know if someone else did it so I can see what my idea will look like, if not then I won't do it, unless someone else did it... thanks"

Really? Or am I wrong?

Everyone is short of money, I'm not necessarily referring to that. Which, is mostly why people are cautious when shelling out money. But I say give it a try.

to be honest i have never seen much creativity in the JZS147 world! especially not on these forums! like they say in the military.. if you arent part of the solution, then your part of the problem!

here are 2 notable builds.





here is mine! i know it still has a long way to go but better than nothing!

CubanGS... real talk.... you're straight. I haven't seen the inside but your GS is pretty nice so far.

I've got a few things to fix, and some serious catching up to do.

Fixing things are fine and dandy, every car requires maintenance. I'm sure we all agree, the car is timeless. Its built well and can't really be confused with any other car. But people cop out and ditch it because they can't find aftermarket parts... well, there are not many parts because people aren't building.

To make a true custom in my oppinion direct fit aftermarket parts ain't even it that vocabulary
And we need more true builders that improvise
I have been slowly picking parts off of different cars from salvage yards I'm waiting till I can put the car up but the ideas are always there
you know what I mean?
