    I took the blower off it and putting a stock hood back on it and just looking for a change nothing to drastic.
     
  2. Try painting it?

    Silver comes to mind and loose the red wheels they just don't go with the car.

    Well I was thinking of changing the wheels and keeping the paint as it takes abuse and I am really not into paint.

    Glad you got rid of the blower...now lower it, pinner whites, full moon discs, chrome the bumpers, build yourself a straight bar grille to make it look wider (but keep the quad headlights), tint the windows darker...and PAINT IT. Flat blak and red wheels is so MP3 player...

    Chrome reverse WHEELS......Fogged paint is exactly that....fogging a slightly darker color along edges of the body.....ala Gene Winfield.
    Cars with lines like yours really look nice with a fog and panel job......

    Rodger....good call on the tube grill!!!!

    Definately get rid of that pucker face grille. Never liked that sunken look the way the factory did it. Like mentioned before, a straight across stainless tube grille that's either flush or dished outward, opposite of what you have now.
    Some other color, other than flat black. The black car and black wall tires are kind of blah. Maybe a medium red or blue metalic (flat if you want) with painted silver or chrome wheels & thin whitewalls. If you want to go nutz how' bout yellow??
    Chromed bumpers......with short 50 caliber barrels poking out where your turn signalg are now.:D ...could put some LED's in the barrel ends to function as turn signals.
    Keep the side trim, thats cool.

    Just have fun.
