...is looming! Let's see those show cars/bikes/boats/what have you; whether they be DDs which will see the occasional show, or full-time showstoppers.... Tell us your plans and aspirations for this year!


Mine: 2006 Focus ZX4 ST... 2.3L Duratec DOHC with a 5-speed. It's not much at all, but I hope to Lamin-X the lights (uniqueness will ensue) and have some driving lighs installed behind the lower grille by the time the UConn Car Show rolls around on April 19th!

The lights...

They're 4" in diameter, and will give off a white light, not blue. 2 will be installed once I can get the car up on ramps...
 
are those replacing the current fogs or are you just going to bolt them up in addition too?

Additional. My car is getting the OZ-inspired 20-spoke Euro SVT wheels which were powdercoated white by a local shop. That inspired me to lower it and stuff as many lights as I could in the front of the car (haha j/k). I'm going fo a clean street/rally theme. And no, they will not be on constantly. I don't want to blind everyone else on the road.:cool:

These are going behind the ceter opening you can see at the bottom of the bumper, all stealth-like...
 
Our show car is a work in progress and isn't quit finished. Its a 1956 DeSoto Firedome Seville. Power was going to be a bored/stroked 440 with stage 5 hemi heads, but the heads are no longer made. Instead we stumbled upon a low mileage Viper engine for a good deal. This morning we picked up a rear end and took it to the machine shop to be narrowed. Dana 60 with 4.10's outta take the abuse the v10 will dish out. The engine is in transport, I'll post pics when it arrives. Here it is on the way to the sandblaster's over the summer.



In stock form it looks something like this:
