Roadkill2525 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I got started on this little pocket panel, wanted something a little different so glue the windows and paint over them. Im using the custom bodywork with the stock spoiler, stock interior, and minilite wheels. The engine and exhuast are near completion and I've started on the suspension.

MrObsessive Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hey! This is a neat project you got going! I'm not much of a tuner fan, but I like it! Have you picked out a color? I see this in a electric/candy blue for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadkill2525 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) The candy blue isn't working that great on this so I switched to MM Artesian Turquoise Metallic. Edited July 7, 2008 by El Destructo Inc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 very nice but, wasn't a cherry bomb A muffler? Yes. That is why he painted the mid-muffler red. The cat is the blob under the oil pan. (For cats to work efficiently, they need to be close to the combustion. If you put them too far back, the exh. gas temp will be too low for the cat to do its work.) ...And, that is shaping up nicely, there Michael! Can't wait to see a mockup in paint.
