Just in case you guys haven’t figured it out by now, the “big” announcement is indeed the announcement that The Chronicles will be the exclusive home to Big Mike’s Prelude rebuild. He’s got so much unbelieveable shit that he’s gonna do to this Prelude leading up to Nisei Import Showoff. I can’t even begin to tell you all the details. Well, I really can’t because I don’t even know ALL the details. Most of it is even a surprise to me and I’ll be watching the progress along with you guys. It’s an honor to be the host of this build and I’m gonna do my best to do this car justice by bringing you guys the step-by-step in full detail. What I can tell you is that Big Mike will be using alot of prototype Bisimoto parts and the entire car will get a full respray in a different color. It’s gonna be wild, trust me…Just looking at the header is crazy enough. It looks like a chinese woman’s foot back in the early ages when they did foot-binding… Fucking. Serious.
Take a good look at this bay because it’s not gonna be the same ever again…
The majority of part 1 will just focus mainly on the disassembly of the ‘Lude…
Everything is coming off…fenders, sides, etc….With all the custom stuff that’s gonna go into the engine bay, it’s best to remove anything that’s not essential…
You can see how much detail was paid to this build originally just by seeing how clean everything is when parts are off the car. I mean, the parts that you would never even see are cleaner than most people’s cars on a good day…
Here’s a test-fit of the custom Bisimoto header. This is basically just for fitment purposes and a preview for everyone. The final header will be coated and refinished so it will look even more ridiculous…
A closer look…
Be back with the second part as soon as I get it from Mike. Big Mike himself will be stepping in to say a few words and give you guys an idea of what runs through his head on a build of this caliber….I promise he’ll attempt to be as entertaining as the good looking guy that runs this site…
GREAT COVERAGE!!! so far I only see a Header change, But I know a Whole lot more is to come AND I’m Already SO DAMN EXCITED!!!
yo BIG, Keep up the fawken awesome work man. Your Lude is an inspiration to Luders around the world. Dope shit as always!

Making my gf jealous she wants a prelude. Cant wait to see the progress.
Moving Catalog… Good! we need more prelude items. Our market is small and there isn’t enough companies making goodies.

LOL Bisimoto is mad legit. I bet that thing was a bitch to weld up.
I don’t know if the dude running this site is good looking….
the title of this should be “how to make an epic car even more epic”. i’ve talked to mike about some plans and i will be watching on it’s execution. the world may not be ready…
Looking foward to the build……
This is something I have mad respect for, taking a car that 99% of people would consider done and perfect and completely tearing into it all over again to try and out do yourself.
