    Everything but that god awful (pretty much non functional) hood scoop looks great on that car.. With something like that sticking out of the hood it should atleast be covering a tunnel ram:cry:
    Driving a car like that around town you will have every kid with a honda and a bottle of NOS trying to race you at every light.

    PS... man you gotta fix the tiedowns on the artistically inspired fuel cell too...

    Could make a decent cruiser with a little de-ricing

    I went thursday and picked it up... It is a very strong engine. it will break the tires loose with little effort. It does have a 9" with either a 4:11 or 4:56 he couldnt remember which it was. I do want to do a few things to it just to tidy it up, and put in another seat.
