haha cool to see the pics man!
i love this stuff. if i was rich i would go around buying old show cars/trucks and fixing them up. no telling how many multi-rear axle trucks are sitting in a garage somewhere. i love the minitruckin from the 70's and 80's also.
Awesome. I've always wondered what the early car scene was like. Cool stuff man.
I went to several godfather shows back then also, i was in high school and thought if i could only get some deep dish hammers or eagle 5's! wasn't much to choose from back then for custom rimz.
ill see if i can find some pics and scan them also.

These days were the shit. People have mentioned (in this thread) that, for the most part in the mini-trucking scene, styles really haven't changed much. You're pretty much right. There's only so much you can do to a truck. But these pics were taken in a time when all this was brand new and innovative. The dump truck bed and then tilting it to the side was just coming into play around this time. The "truxterossa" kit was brand new as well. Later, QD.

I'm pretty sure I was there. I remember the truck with the paint "splotches"... I thought it was ugly back then. I wanted a "Ratical" targa top conversion for my Nissan extended cab soooooo bad. But I couldn't afford it

Wow, I was 9 yrs old. I still remember some those style mini trucks from when I live in Ohio.
lol, i know right
LOL I was there too. I was a little kid but I remember walking around with the older kids in my neighborhood that all had mini trucks. I would help them sand their dashes after school. Rolled up in a lime green Mazda on bags and subs so loud I couldn't breathe hardly. This was before people would put cotton underneath the wheels at the show too.
If you see the "ROADWAY" truck trailor in the background you know where it is. Shit was there forever. Red hatch and the purple Toyota are still cool as hell even by todays standard.
Old school for sure. Thanks for dusting these off.
You might not have recognized me. I was skinny back then.Also did you notice the AMOCO station in the background? Best gas ever.
That civic is pretty dope...
I was 10 =]
A little nostalgic bump for the newcomers. This is what was up when you folks were still surfing the wombs and all that jazz........

That black blazer with the iroc wheels is the business.

haha i was a freshman in high school during that time. i always hung out with the older guys so i could ride around in trucks like this, well they all used me because i could draw really good and used to use paint markers and draw stuff all over there trucks. i can still to this day draw the "RATICAL" top rat with my eyes closed.

please post more, i could probably name some names of some owners.
Good lord, I wasnt even born yet xD
Black blazer I would drive today, and the red one in the last set. Thanks QD for the pics!
I see one or two that I like, else is just pure rice.
It was a great time to be a car enthusiast. I just recently found out where an originally built (in 1991) trucksterosa is. And it's for sale.
Haha. It's all about nostalgia for me.
Correction. Everything else is pure originality.

Originality does not change the meaning of "rice" in my book.
Guess that just goes with "rice" having multiple meanings. I personally don't see where "rice" applies to a completely different time period and genre of modifying. And I'm quite sure I'm not alone.
But it's all good, my friend. We're all allowed our opinions...............

even if yours is wrong, lolol.

That was the style at the time. I'm sure people will look back at this hellaflush crap that is popular today and say that's rice as well.
i am with you on this, also i thought the term "ricer" came from people calling any japan based car a "rice burner" so to me i dont care what your civic,integra,s2000,tsx or any other japan based car looks like. your all a "ricer".
I wouldnt call it rice but like QD said its just a different time of car and truck modding, What i call rice is what you would find in the WTF section and this isnt there.
GOT VTEC?
Wow these are some crazy badass pics, its a shame I wasnt even born yet.
Remember the K-Mart meets back in the 90s at the Big Chicken!! Off the hook
Those were big, but we used to meet up at the Kmart on Canton Hwy long before that. Both of those were packed out back then.

This is awesome. Love to see what the scene was like back in the day.
When originality ruled!
Try not. Do or Do not.
I liked the show when they moved it to The HorsePark in Conyers, GA..
This makes me want to scan some of my old pics of the car shows in the area back then. Good times.
Do it.
Really cool pics!
Here is my truck at about that time, when my dad was fooling around with it. This is quite a few years before me lol
love the testerosa trucks with wires and hydro's
great flash back
