My New Ride & Some Crankbaits in the making :)

[Leecher]

Like the title says.... took some pics of my new ride today (Chevrolet Cruze LT Turbo 2011) and thought I share them with you..... GM really put the full package into this one and cannot be any happier with it

 

Fully loaded with it's 138 hp 1.4L ECOTEC Turbocharged I-4 , 6 speed automatic tranny with the option of manually changing gears while cruzing, AC, electric windows & mirrors, etc.... etc.... an amazing car to say the least

 

I'm sure you've seen the commercial on TV.... and the color they show is exactly what I purchased (Crystal red) real nice color

 

Here it is in multiple shots

 

Front view

 

 

Side view

 

 

From the back

 

 

The inside driver side

 

 

Passenger side

 

 

and the back

 

 

Simply put.... it's just a delight to drive

 

Now onto the cranks.... I've been putting together a few additional cranks for the tackle box that comes in a kit from Luremaking.com.... these are plastic body baits with rattles and the color of choice was white

 

Couple of pics

 

 

 

Not done yet but will post the final results when I'm done.

Hope you enjoy!!!

The cruize is definitly a step up from the cobalt. The interior looks great doesn't it? 138 hp is healthy power from a 1.4L Turbo...it would save weight on the front end too. Congrats on the new ride.

 

Good luck with the cranks, are the bodies exactly identical or do you find that some are better made than others?

sweet ride leech congrats can't wait to see the cranks

Thanks Rod Caster!!! I own a Cobalt before this one and there's no comparison.... like you said, a true step up from it I truly enjoy it

 

As for the cranks, the bodies are identical.... bought a couple of kits from them and they are ready for the paint job

Give them a try.... I'm sure you'll like them!!!

Thanks Ian!!! Looks deceiving back there but lots of room in deed.... I'm 5'8" and sat back there for a short time and can't complain about being cramped Only draw back, you have to lean sideways to look up front and that's it

Thanks Manitoubass!!! If you ordered from Lurmaking you won't be disappointed They sure make quality products

I just put in another order for making 10 spinnerbaits.... but this time I made the choice of the hardware and color I want for them

Have fun creating, painting your lures!!!

[Nipfisher]

Missing your front licence plate

 

Actually when we were teenagers and we would go to Quebec to party, we had to pull off our front plates and back our cars up against a wall or snow bank. lol.

 

The french boys didn't like us hitting on their pretty girls.

You going to make a custom Cruse Crystal Red Crankbait too? In honor of the new ride...

Yep, thats who I ordered from as per your suggestions. I can't wait to get to painting them customs. I hand carved one a few weeks back out of some cedar, and it was strangely relaxing. I worked on it for about 10 hours straight before I realized how long it had been, haha.

 

But yeah, ordering the prefab takes alot of the work out, thats for sure

Thanks Simon!!! They did a great job with the interior.... it's nice and comfy in the driver's seat or any other seat for that matter and every little adjustments or buttons is just a finger away
