silver car red hood

[The Radium King]

986 - I've thought about both. the centre-fill would be a LOT of work, however - relocate battery, completely redo the fill pipe (most likely abandon the oem exit on the tank and come out the top while trying to coordinate with the fuel pump location) and deal with all the purge valves and charcoal canister in the process.

the fender vents are also do-able. i'd located some inexpensive FG generic/universal hood vents of a dimension that would work, but uncertain if they could handle the curve of the fender. actually a functional mod, as it vents the fenders out the top instead of under the car - converts upforce to downforce.

otherwise, do the suspension and lower the car, do some exhaust and engine work, strip insulation and roof motors. delete AC. get some gt3 seats with harnesses (perhaps with tartan or houndstooth inserts) take the trim off the rollbar, get the the gt3 console delete piece. next step is the gt3 hvac unit which uses dials instead of electronics, and replace the stereo with a 3 gauge din panel (engine oil temp, engine oil pressure, transmission oil temp, vdo gauges). if you want to keep the stereo just run an ipod adaptor direct to the amplifier in the frunk. that should clean up the interior nicely.

Still looks better than, say, a Mustang.

Mmm, you are a true King if you can make those vents thing on the box! Fenders are twisted on these... can't get the vents in a straight line as-on pic so luck with that workmanship if you ever tackle. Ouch!

I'd pay millions of whatever it needs to get that skillset :/

The Outlaw Box - I really like it. We need one TRK

I like the way you think:


In honor of outlaws, I've got Highway to Hell on the iPhone!

While you've got the nibblers out you might as well cut some vents to evacuate engine heat out the top of the engine compartment.

IMO silver is best at showcasing a nice silhouette, adding other colors interrupts the visual flow of the silhouette.
