It is still in the finishing stages but here you go. Feel free to flame me for being an "idiot", "blasphemous RX-7 owner", blah blah blah. Its the hood bump from a 1st gen talon. Also planned is the frunt bumper from talon going on and the turbo/intercooler system. Bring it on, haters....

 

why didnt you cowl it?

 

Everyone else does that.

 

Interesting....

 

Ian, what the heck are you up to now? Looks like Mt ST. Helens blew up on your hood

 

you should have moved it more to where it would be right over the carb. then when you turbo it you will have more head room for it. where it's at now i dont see it's function. get it painted, i cant even tell it's humped hardly.

 

I was going to put it off center but though that I would have a tough time with the body line on the hood. Also, if I would have cut the hood out from underneath it would have lost quite a bit of structure. My hood flops around enough as it is.

Hey doc, talk to the previous owner(s). They apparently dont know of a decent way to sand a car. I am pretty sure they used 60 grit at one time or another. This is why the primer is all blotchy.

 

overall tho for real, it's not bad. once you prime it everything will be nice.

 

everyone?

 

Ok, quite a few people want to put a T2 scoop, or some other type of cowl on their car. This is my way of turning junk (the whole hood was fubarred except this amazingly) into somethign useful. I only have about 20 bucks total in it so far. I already have enough filler, sandpaper and primer to finish it.

 

Ian, you damn ricer, I TOLD you it wouldn't work

 

i dont see how its rice, its not even really that noticable. but yah. i still would have cowl'ed it. ehhe

 

Well, it IS pretty damn useless.

 

so is changing your wheels or putting on skirts, bumper, etc...

 

Chill, Paradox, he knows I'm just giving him a hard time

We all know I am not one to point fingers about rice

 

 

I think it looks pretty cool. Nice fabricating Ian.

 

Ian the ricer....

 

T2 scoops only look good on FC's, I want to see what it looks like when it's done. It will probably look pretty cool.

 

it could be worse, i dont think a hood can be rice unless it has a picture of a Excalibur sword.(like the newly famous rx7)

 

If you want a talon so bad why don't you just buy one intead of making your 1st gen one. But whatever floats your boat. ? .

 

i dont think he wants a talon, if i read correctly.

 

C'mon, Ian, show them your spoiler! If you do, I promise to show my rims

 

what's the purpose of this?

 

You see, here in the first gen section, Mad, some of us post our custom modifications.
Aint that a trip?
