F*CK GETTING IT BLACK...

CUT  a rectangle hole in the hood,  and paint it YELLOW! with a black hood... It would look like a javelin or something all oldschool 2 tone baller status!

LIKE THIS!

i agree would look dope but i dont want like 10 different yellows on the car cause i cant match it good enough i already tried. black is black and it hardly ever doesnt match.  like the hot rod look though. putting some us in to jdm. lol

OUR MARINES HAVE ALREADY CAUSED ENOUGH DESTRUCTION IN JDM PARTS (lol?)

I think that yellow would be far enough away from the other yellow and would end up no body notices.... It only doesnt match when you have something right next to the other color...

If you have a seperation of some sort it looks better and better the further away the specific colors are...

Now grab your balls, paint it yeller, and put a hood scoop and blower on it lmao - J?K btw ppl

[Volchok]

heres some new updates got my trust oil cooler mounted up waiting on lines and adapter plates.

also mocked up the mid mount intercooler setup just need to tig weld these bitches up and decide where i wana stash my blow off valve. i cut the front mount pipes total lenght in half if not more.



also got the diamond plate to rivet to the floors under the driver and passenger feet.

also mocked up a heatshield for the BMC and mounted and additional 14" fan on the intercooler in between the radiator and intercooler. looking for a small 8" for the oil cooler. should have my valve cover back this week and more and more little crap keeps adding up everyday.  its crunch time.

Don't forget to rivet on that floor piece  from the bottom. Cut out the floor too. And can't forget the bolts in the glove box!!!

JK man. Good to see you go with a mid mount! No better way to go! You better weld that stuff yourself!
