We DO NOT:

1) bitch, whine, argue, accuse, point fingers, or engage in e-thuggery

2) talk about race. This is a thread about CARS, not people.

3) talk about how unsafe these things are. I'm more concerned about the Powerstroke trucks with soot-belching stacks and 40" boggers that can't see me thru their 5% tinted windshields.

4) repost pictures. Come on y'all

All that being said, let's get the ball rolling

These are "blow ya brains out, blind you with my wheels, and get everyone's attention within a 5000ft. radius" type cars. That's what they are made for and that's why I like them.

I drive a pretty undercover car but I'd love to make a change every once in a while to a box.

I guess what I was saying was I wouldn't mind driving one with some nice wheels. It'd be like driving an SUV on 26's. Something I'd like to ride around town with.

As is? I'd be a little embarassed by the purple wheels

A Bubble is a late model, 90's Chevy caprice.

A Box is a early to mid-eighties Chevrolet Caprice and Malibu.

trucks running 44s (or big mudin' tires) and lift kits usually have their bumpers raised at lest 12+ inches from the stock height...so does bumper height laws affect raised trucks the same as raised cars?

some people get pulled over because their car is lowered...would someone driving these get pulled over because their bumper is too high.

Since low riders have already been done...I guess it is time for "high" riders...If you have the money and it is what you like, sure, why not...

Hey Bitchpants McSandytwat, get out of my thread.

Totally unsafe? Clearly you don't live in the country. Out here in hicksville we've got all kinds of lifted Jeeps, pickups, and SUVs bombing around. You wanna talk unsafe? Ever see a lifted '80's pickup with such bad alignment its front wheels are shimmying? I see these things doing 80 on the highway, and you can bet yer azz they haven't upgraded the brakes. For every lifted donk in this thread I can show you a pickup lifted higher, whose body has a higher COG to start with, and whose tires are NOT meant for pavement.

Well it all depends on the wheel.....most "true spinners" come with a solid backing that acts as a brake dust shield and a nice backdrop for the spinner....the solid backs have a cool design that includes a heat sink area to keep the break cool.....pretty nice idea.... (these backings usually have the word "DUB" inscribed in them because most are made by dub, however foose, and someothers, most notably DAVIN, have them also.

But....on other wheels guys wil add an aftermarket dust shield just for cosmetic reasons (looks good and keeps wheels clean)

The car is far from just a show car....it has (or is in the process or getting) custom air-ride suspension...heavy duty rear end....572 Merlin Big Block...will spin those 30s like rallies (as those 30s are forged from special air-craft grade aluminun and therefore are lighter than some 22inch rims....) This car is a real monster....however....its not for everones tastes.....

I'm quoting this again because I actually really like it. The Phantom grill goes surprisingly well with the overall look of the car & helps hide just how high up the vehicle is. The wheels are also fairly nice and tuck into the wheel arches beautifully. Alas, I see far to many of these that are just too tacky around Columbus and overall I'm not a big fan of this look.If more looked like this (or that Spider Man one) I think it could possibly change my mind though. I would also like to know how they get into the cars? I'm not seeing any grab handles.

OK You are not completely right.

A DONK is a 1971-1976 Caprice or Impala. It doesnt matter if it has 28" rims or 15" rims or if it is completely STOCK. That is a donk

A BOX is a 1977-1990 Caprice or Impala

A BUBBLE is a 1991-1996 Caprice or Impala

But I am a fellow East Coast Ryder/King of The Street member also, and I love these type of cars. I'll post pic of some too

To the gurus, a lot of us here have been wondering what these hi-riders do to improve braking and handling. Having driven a lot of lifted trucks with big tall tires, I know for a fact that it puts a lot of stress on the braking system; I can imagine the same is true for big sedans on big wheels. Do these guys generally upgrade the brakes and steering systems to handle the added mass?

I've also heard that the box-style Chevy's can be lifted using parts from 1/2 ton Chevy trucks and vans from the same era. Is this true?



Post Title: Re: (Wellington P Funk)
Posted by: !millertime at 1:59 PM 12/28/2006

alot change over to truck parts.... cutlass/montes/regals can use s-10 4x4 parts and full size use truck parts then you get big break kits for those models...

Question for SPADEKREATIONS/540BOY, do people usually upgrade the brakes after on these? I mean a 1970's brake system was not designed to stop a 30" wheel How about the engine?

Also give me some idea on prices when it comes to doing this, like to fit a 30" wheel what needs to be done on a old caprice? (something like that).

Post Title: Re: (xmaciek82x)
Posted by: Numbersix at 3:18 PM 12/28/2006

I'd also be interested to see how they manage to stop those monster wheels/tires. Those things must weigh 150-200lbs/corner...

I don't think they'd be road legal in OR/WA, either, as they wouldn't meet bumper height ordinances.

Like most show cars, very impressive in terms of the craftsmanship. Not my thing at all, but I respect the work.



Post Title: Re: (Numbersix)

Yes brake upgrades are desired in these types of cars, thought, unfortunatley they are overlooked. Brake upgrades range from switching to stainless brake lines, to installing aftermaket disk brake conversions to full on big brake upgrades....i

And Yes, alot of these cars use truck suspension parts... For example, people will take springs from a larger truck to lift a car. As spade said, u can even use a blazer suspension to lift a g-body car....

Plus things such as extended trailing- and a-arms are necessary for proper alignment....

Even though it's not the kind of thing I would do, I can respect a lot of these cars more seeing the work that gets put into a lot of them.

A lot of people here probably have negative opinions towards them, because much of what people (like myself) see on the street are a really nice set of BIG rims tacked onto a car that looks ready for the scrap heap. But almost all of these are really well done, with a lot of attention to detail.

What do unsafely lifted trucks have to do with the safety or lack thereof of donks?

Your argument lacks any logic whatsoever. Yes, these donk tanks having gigantic heavy rolling masses attached to drum brakes designed for 15' steelies are dangerous; unsafe 4x4 trucks don't change that fact.

a buddy of mine has a "bubble" and his car rides very well. it feels pretty smooth and there was nothing about the ride that made me say "oh this is uneasy." put it this way: it was a heck of a lot more comfortable than about 95% of the lowered euro/japanese/import racer types with the $1,000 mis-guided suspensions i've ever driven or been in.

But, a friend in Philly didn't know they existed and hasn't seen one until very recently. I assumed they were a southern thing, but...??

I see exactly what ur saying but since when has anyone relied on "the factory" to provide "the look" of the vehicle...... Thats all what customizing is about.

For example: trucks. Designed to be macho, massive, big, high, aggresive looking machines. But guys lower them and customize them to trailer queens everyday....far from the original intent of the car designers.

Post Title: Re: (tehAndy)
Posted by: Obin Robinson at 1:45 PM 12/30/2006

you're missing the point altogether. the idea of the donk/box/bubble is to make something extremely unique. you're not trying to accent the original proportions of the car. the goal is to go further with the car than what the original designers ever intended. low riders show us that a car can go lower than the engineers ever intended. donks show us that the car can go HIGHER than the engineers ever intended.

the odd paint schemes are meant to make the car stand out rather than blend into a crowd. what's the point of having a car which the judges won't take two looks at? the more outrageous you get and the more unique you can be the better your car will stand out.

i look at the whole donk/box/bubble trend as a natural progression from the "boom car" fad of the 1980s. cars used to just have loud systems. then they sported lights to accentuate the appearance. then came graphics, body kits, etc.

the donk/box/bubble takes the "ok i have a big stereo" part and adds in "and i have big wheels". what good are big wheels and a crazy paint job if you are still at a height where nobody takes notice? that's when you gotta start going skyward. the higher you go the more people will notice.

it's not about blending in. it's about making a statement. i find it to be the analogy of walking about concealing a snub-nose .38 on your ankle vs a S&W .500 Magnum on your hip. in one case you say "don't mess with me because i might have a surprise for you." in the other you say "ok, now that it's out in the open you know what i got and now try and top it."

Well, a lot of people said the same thing about Andy Warhol. He basically acknowledged a big part of contemporary culture. Something that is out there and resonates with many people, and can't be denied or ignored. Like it or not, it appealed to a great many people.

There it is.

I dont really see any connection between these cars and the art of Andy Warhol. Warhol was responsible for many simple, conservative designs, such as the Campbell's soup can, as well as tasteful (IMO), unusual paintings with interesting use of color. Hell, i guess somehow we could come to view these cars that way in the future... but for now all I see is pointless, attention-grabbing cars that look cheap and stupid. Once again, just my opinion.

I dont understand why you think you have to appreciate something just because they spent a lot of time on it. To me you're just saying that they wasted tons of time and money to produce something that you dont like and that is painfully obnoxious. As long as tons of time has been spent, who cares what the outcome is...

That's putting words in my mouth.
As an enthusiast, I can see something that I might not build myself, but can appreciate the work that went into it because someone wanted to build something to their taste. It's all about respect for someone's preferences. By the same token, I'm allowed to say I think somehting is ugly without making a value judgement about the person driving it.

For example, I don't particularly care for the cars built by the "typical" MKIV owner who's into OEM+ (the mk3+ cars just aren't my thing) and I think stagger on a FWD car is pointless, but I can appreciate the time and money that go into them as an expression of the owner's vision, the same way I bolt JDM parts to my Scoobies. I can respect their work without claiming it as something I'd do myself.

My point was that Warhol used pop culture (Marylin Monroe, Campbells soup) just like some of these cars do (Skittles, Spiderman) which is often frowned upon by the more "serious" established art world (or in the car examle - TCL). He also used wild, eye catching designs and colors to make his work anything but subdued and subtle.

A lot of people who studied "serious" art though a bunch of soup cans was stupid as well.

The same comparison can be made between "serious" music (classical, or even jazz) and pop music....

Donk, Bubble, and Box all seem to apply to specific body styles/year ranges of full size Chevrolets. So what do you call this style applied to cars that aren't in the above categories? I've seen numerous G body GM cars, late model FWD Impalas and Monte Carlos, '64 Impalas, a '65 Ford Galaxie convertible, a '69 Cutlass, a '67 Pontiac Bonneville, and dozens of other alternative cars. Do they all fall into the "Donk" category when built this way, or are there other names for them?

Aaaaargh. I like most of the cars so far, but this one I just can't stomach. I prefer to keep it stylish but simple. To me, extravagant pictures just don't look right on cars. What part of country is this type of car modification (donk, box, etc..) most popular? I have yet to see one in Phoenix.

it was just a plain bruik wagon and he want to do something different and he asked his kids what to do and his son/daughter said febreeze theme.

Boxes
LS tops
Euro front and rears
few big blocks

Bubbles
very few SS (a sin to cut or lift SS')
no big block

G-Body
a lot of convertibles

If I could somehow incorporate the febreze/grey goose car with visine, monarch, swisha sweets, and an 80 rabbit truck (among' st others) it would pretty much epitomize almost the last 10 years of my life. I'm sure everyone has their own reason behind spending crazy money or time to create these machines........

This one appeals to me for some reason I can't put my finger on... maybe it's the absence of excessive (IMO) chrome and flashy colors but I think it looks pretty damn cool.

that car belongs to sandman it was stolen and then later he sold it to his friend

Post Title: Re: (Zanardi.)
Posted by: TooDub at 5:31 PM 1/14/2007

And I agree with the comment on the LT1's bay. That's just silly. Spend all that time and money everywhere else and totally skimp / forget about the engine bay? That said ditch the febreeze logo and dump the thing on the ground with smaller wheels and I'd love that, two tone and all. big wheels arn't my thing but if they float your boat more power to you.

I also have one more question, not to sound negative, but if you are going to put presumably $100 bills in your car's interior.. shouldn't you at least want *nice* fitting seat covers? In my 2 cents, granted I'm no interior guy, but it just screams *cheap* with poorly fitted covers with 'cash money' down the center.

1) I kind of like seeing the dirty engine bay on the Grey Goose high-rider. Dirty engine = someone actually DRIVES the car rather than letting it rot away on a trailer.

2) Look closely at the "cash money" interior. Those are $1 bills. That might explain the poor fit; the whole interior cost about $35 in one's!

You can drive the wheels off the thing but still manage to keep it clean & detailed though. heh. Anyhow.

Looking back you are right, those are $1's. I glanced and assumed they were $100's. The interior fitment makes sense now.

Notniuq2g, I like the over-the-top cars, but I have to say I'm NOT a fan of sideshowing. In that 3rd video there were people pushing kids in strollers trying to cross the street; the jackaasses busting off donuts in the intersection probably didn't even think to look around before pulling those stupid moves.

I wonder what the crank centerline height is on that? Reason I'm wondering aloud is they do have a max crank centerline height in place at sanctioned strips. I'm just wondering where that thing sits in relation to the ground as I'm buliding a gasser and before deciding to go with a dropped straight axle I had to keep the crank centerline in height in mind as I'll be running sanctioned events. Anyway.. just wondering aloud. Anybody know what it is / can measure one for curiousity's sake?

These things remind me of the "street freaks" craze from back when, save for the whole not running on cheater slicks and pie cutters but instead mammoth wheels.
