What would look good in the grill of the Fly?

why does that always happen? i've got the perfect solution, and two minutes before i'm gonna answer someone (happens to be boones this time) takes the words right outta my mug?

MOON TANK!

 

I have a tank that is a vertical one that is mounted on the left if the frame. I hoped it would fit in the opening but it looked wrong and was too cumbersome to route all the hoses. That's what I had in mind originally.

 

Some WWII style teeth (like p-40 warhawk nose art)drawn on either a panel, or just cut out at the tops and bottom.

 

Blue Plex....drilled with Barnett Designet Draginfly.

But having said that..it's stilll perfect as is....

Cheers

i like it,but i like the blue plexi idea also

 

The only problem with that is I would hafta buy another freaking sheet!!!! Won't sell me just a little piece.

 

how bout the plexi with a alum. panel behind it with the drag/n fly painted on it!

 

A set of Dagmars, cast aluminum, the 38 inch size,or the blue plexiglass !!!!

 

nobody has a scrap that big lying around?....maybe you could just duct tape pin-up calanders to it like dean moon

 

i like the blue plexi idea with something cool on it like a dragon fly.


or fill it with a polished sheet of stainless(or aluminum) drilled out

 

how about a RADIATOR???

seriously. how abouts a big ole metal dragon fly that touches the top, bottom and each side. any metal sculpter/artist out there???? bet JEEM could do it. JEEM can do ANYTHING!! i'd like to try it but with my luck i'd get it done and someone else would have already finished one for ya. i'm kinda slow

HELL YES!!!

 

Get the grille shell down for a good hood line.
Fill the grille with a louvered aluminum insert.
Put a hood top on it.
Leave the sides open.

Alternatively, use a hole saw to put a bunch of holes in the aluminum insert.
Whether louvers or holes, some kind of artistic work on the hood top would work well.

Something a little - genuine - Von Dutch or even Roth.
The car as it sits is just about there vis a vis the 50's - 60's drag racing sedan look.
Just needs a touch of tweaking.

 

Yeah it needs something....just can't pinpoint it.

 

Here........this is "racier' and it looks spectacular!

 

ok here is my idea.

get a sheet of aluminum and put a grid of 3/4 to 1" holes in it starting at the corners down from the top.

In that place above the grid of holes. you need a simple design..... and here is my last idea.

get on of the HAMB artists to draw you a small... you decide how large.... dragonfly cartoony or otherwise. then trace it out on a appropriate size of plexy and cut it out then use a dremel or the like and add the small details.

Then mount it w/ screws or the like.

Man, it looks good the way it is. OR A big flyswatter....
A few strips of flypaper?

how about one of those crying baby things...

 

A FLY HOLDIN A 10 SECOND ET SLIP!!! Forget about the grill make it run First.--FEDER

 

no hood is my vote..gives the fly that more 'hardkore(tm) look...hood makes it too "normal'" imho.

 

Red plexi grill...

 

Holey aluminum/mesh (Batman!)...

 

You guys have waaaaay too much time on your hands.....

 

The web thang...

 

Da moon tank...

 

D'oh! Da moon tank, redux...

 

Just shortened the shell...

 

Either: Blue plexiglass with silver pinstriping.

Or: an aluminium insert with a weirdo style painting on it done in orange and black.
