I was thinkin' of a little hood art for a spare hood that I have...What do you think? These are all pretty crude so all mods and opinions are welcome. Anyone good with photoshop that can help??

Here’s a pic or two I took under the cherry tree...The goal was to rebuild it the way it was, like my signature pic. I think I’m there... So I ask, "Now that I have reached my goal what should I do next???" The stuff I’m working on is: rebuilding a motor and trans, teg headrests, teg front lip, roof rack, sunroof (the one in the car currently is junk) maybe a sliding ragtop, KSports (still sitting in the box). Im gonna do a "GreatDane" hood mod if that’s alright with you buddy and projector headlights. That’s got to be the cleanest damn thing I’ve seen done to any of our whips.
Ok-- Pico, Geddy, TDurr, RooDoo, Rendon, CAH, Mark (I’m still working on the interior) and Grand Duke Luke don’t hold back, I don’t care how crazy it sounds…My car just needs something else!
Pete the car looks awesome, it will even look hotter with the roof rack.
Sliding rag Oh Yeah.
Maybe for now get the windows tinted is all I can come up with.
I love it, and I enjoy your entheusiasm it is inspiring.
I like the graphic too
Pete, that damn thing looks so clean and so nice.
The louvers look great on it. The wheel $ tire combo is nothing but right. The drop is perfect. That lip will really tighten up the look of the front end so get to work dammit.
Just a few things to ask....
Where's the damn interior pics? Do you have rear disc yet?
Critique:
I'm not a huge fan of the graphic, but that's a matter of personal preference. Are the horn covers painted black or just not there? I would really love to see what a slightly (not too much) tinted front signal light would look like on your car. Again, still see the orange, but just a slight tint to it (much like the edm/jdm ones). Then again, the half&half's would look REALLY good too (imo).
In Summary:
The only thing I think that car really needs... ...a new friggin owner. (ME)
-Mark D.
needs a cat back, roof rack, the ksports put on, tint, and boost.
pete i love the car man. im guessing u never found a tranny?
That panel Reminds me of my 7 piece couch set. Nice workAnd one sneak peek of the interior. I know Mark, I havent gotten the tweed done yet. Its coming...

Yeah, I know what you mean, its not my style either.
Thanks dude. The sliding ragtop might become a reality, but the tint and the roof rack are a definite
It your enthusiasm and the rest of the dedicated fellas on the site that keep ME inspired--Thanks again. Question: BBQ in June??I love it, and I enjoy your entheusiasm it is inspiring.
I like the graphic too
Mark Foose in da house!! You catch all the subtleties huh? lol.
No interior or disk brakes yet. I cant seem to make up my mind on the material. Hey, I feel you on the graphic, Im not the biggest fan of it either. I have to try things out to know for sure, but until I do, it eats at me like a virus.
I tried tinting the turn signals and it didnt come out too great so I got another pair. maybe I'll try again in the future.
I got rid of aftermarket louvers and found true Honda louvers; these have a better profile.
Horn covers?? What the heck are they besides the obvious?
Thanks man, I got the rack, and the KSports and the trans believe it or not and I will boost the engine Im building. How bout dem apples?needs a cat back, roof rack, the ksports put on, tint, and boost.
pete i love the car man. im guessing u never found a tranny?
Alright, Im out like a fat kid in dodge ball--hey, that was me damnit!
good deal. this would be 1000x better boosted. esp seeing where it started. when do u wanna put all the stuff in/on the car? u know me and luke are down to help!
and a wire tuck should be done! muahahahahah
Im going to pay someone to put the trans in but I do need somehelp with the coilovers. Maybe next Saturday if youre down?
Bright and early, and if so, I'll reserve the bay at the shop.
I was wrong about it having a full lift; it only has a one of those 24" lifts at best. I'll call you next week...
car is looking great, i'm finally getting somewhere on mine too
we really could do the suspension wit just a single floor jack haha. just give me a call anytime tomorrow. im gonna be up from like 8 am till like 2 am so yea....
my god man! that thing is looking so good!! great work man i love it! maybe some day ill find one half as nice as yours and get back in the 3g game
btw as for turn signals i think your should get some 86-87 ones like in your sig, the amber and clear look 10X better imo

the car looks great! Any plans for the engine?

Thanks man! Good luck on yours too
I'll hit you up
Thanks CAH, I'll play wit dem lights one more time.
Thanks dude! Im rebuilding an A20 and I want to boost it. Everyone tells me to go with a B20 (which I love) but I really think its cool to see an 86-89 with a built SOHC motor. Guaynabo has the right set up on his.
One of the other things I would like to do is add some smooth looking rocker panels like on the VW jettas or passats. Even Volvo has some good looking parts and pieces that can be added to our cars. My ride is a work in progress. I started on this thing over two years ago and Ive only put, maybe, 500 miles on it total. Even TDurr and Mushroom Toy were like "Come on already!"
bbq in June, of course..
I was going to ask about those signal lights, they look freakishly too orange in the picture, what is that?
I love all the motors in these cars, I really like the A20 and squeezing its potential. Or just having one set up properly and running right. It is amazing at the number of these cars that were and are running around all out of adjustment.. many of them wind up in the JY because of it.
I only wound up with a B20 by fluke circumstance, motor was advertised here, it was in Atlanta, it was cheap I just happened to have resources to get it... I only wish I had a few extra head gaskets and I wouldnt be so nervous about it. Oh and an extra tranny, preferably a manual.
no pics of the k-sports

Ok I guess I got some work to do on those signal lights. Now that its been mentioned for the umpteenth time, now Im looking at them and saying out loud, " Yeah, what about them big Mike & Ike lookin' turn signals?" I never really paid much attention to them before--They have kind of a kit car feel to them huh? Time to break out the spray tint... That will be one of my weekend chores coming up.bbq in June, of course..

Im going to start tearing the motor down next weekend if Im lucky.
I havent put them on the car yet. They're just chillin' in the back of the hatch. Im motivated to buy different shit but I dont have the time to work on anything. Thats why I cant put any miles on the car--Im too busy working--but dont get me wrong, Im not complaining about the, "thank God I have a job" part...
OH I was just wondering, were they painted or what, they dont even look like oem ones in the picture.
Nah, theyre JY finds. I think one came off an 87 and the other off an 88. They are awfully (brand new) orange huh? I'll take care of that soon.
there probably fine, just the light caught it in the pictures
