Hey the wheels look great and sure help tie the flames into the theme of the car. Not for everyone, but what that we do to our cars is? I am sure that some would not like what I am doing on my two projects either. But I really like your car and wish mine were driving and looking good like yours.

Thanks,

Randy

I like just about everything on the car. I have always loved the color that you chose for your car. Sweet ride man. :agree: :agree:

first off , i mean no offense in anyway, but as a whole i dont like the car, but thats because its not my taste, but like you said but I like them and that's what matters most! so im sure it all works for you.

That being said, i really like the way the entire car is tired together, flames theme ( sorry dont care for it) is carried through out the enitire ride. All the custome work looks nice and the body seems to be as close to perfect as possible. And while at first glance it doesnt do anthing for me, it is put together with class and craftsmanship.

So GREAT job, and i hope my car can look the same caliber someday. :agree:

Trick details throughout.

Nice trunk layout. What's your audio setup?

I like the dash. Could you explain the light/wiper switch layout and where did you get the knobs? Do they light up? Are the switches stock?

I like the color coded headlamp housing. I'm considering the same, but with color coded trim rings too (yours look good with the chrome bumpers, etc.). Do the headlights look any dimmer by not having a silver housing? Are you using the running light as a blinker? Does it show when the lights are on?

Deck lid is way cool. Does it shoot flames out the vents?

Thanks for sharing Al.

Cheers Bill,

The Audio is all Audiobahn stuff, all bought via ebay for MUCH cheapness
1500w Mono Amp for 2 12' Subs behind the back seat
250w 2 Channel for the 6 1/2's in the front kick panel/speaker pods
(next plan is to get another 250w Amp to run a par of 6x9's...... just dont know where I'm going to put them yet!)

Light switch layout is......

Rear heated screen, headlights/sidelights, Hazzard/warning lights. All stock switches (rear screen switch is a hazzard switch to the relay) Yep they light up and you can get them from.....

(Click on the Billet stuff.)

The headlamps are definately no dimmer but then they've been upgraded somewhat...

Yes I'm running the running lights (as you have them... we, in the UK don't need them ) as a blinker and yes you can see them VERY well with the lights on.

As for the deck lid shooting flames.................one day

Thanks

Al B
