When its finished you need to do a L.A. canal photoshoot, Deadline Auto Theft style.

Always loved the pure 70's-ness of these cars since I saw a lime green one at a car show.

Interesting - I wonder if this fact got transplanted over to the DeLorean? There's millions of apocryphal tales of D owners getting trapped in their cars - including Johnny Carson - but I've never been able to find out where they came from. It's frequently trotted out as one of the "why the car failed" sort of deals, but of all the car's problems, that wasn't really one of them.


The Delorean's issue was due to a flawed power lock module design that would fail and keep supplying power to the solenoids, jamming up the door handles in the process. The aftermarket offers improved units to prevent the issue.

I just found a very cool front end modification that might allow me to use an intercooler without needing to cut holes anywhere. Plus it looks really nice.

Problem is I don't know what headlights these are. Anyone have any ideas? I thought 90's Dodge Daytona at first, but after looking it up that's wrong. Google reverse image search just brings me to an out of date Geocities type page.



Its like the sportier Canadian cousin of the Aston Martin Lagonda.

Refreshed version ditched the popups for 6(!) Halogens


Edit: lol I've never seen a picture with the popups open before:

Didn't think it was possible to make that car any more awkward.

So, how horrified does seeing the Chop Cut Rebuild guys go at the body panels with air chisels make you? :v:

I dig the Javelin-esque front end treatment.
