Injecting some Fox body soul into my MN12?

It looks good. If you made them from scratch, why not taper them to match the lines of the MN-12 hood? I'll have to see what it looks like finished, but the angles are at odds enough that I think it would drive me crazy every time I looked at it.

the hood looks good the car looks good and together i bet it would look super nice.

I almost got me a MN12 bird for $500 to put my motor and old parts into found out the other day have a full custom interior and was black on the inside and the red paint job was still in good shape.

What color are you gonna paint the car?

Thanks, I used a cut off wheel on a 4.5" angle grinder

thats the point....  it isnt just another supercoupe clone.  Even though I just bought a complete SC body kit, including the tail lights off of Dominator that I could put on.  I decided to go a different route.

Thanks, I am planning a two tone (or possibly tri tone) paint scheme, but you will have to wait to see it, because I am still working out the colours (silver/blue, silver/red, orange pearl/metalic blue/black, etc) and layout of the paint scheme.  It will definatley be unique....

well even if he used those scoops on a sc car there would be no room to close the hood. There is very little clearence under our SC hoods to start with.

I see the light oh well blue lights under sliver cars looks good i saw a T-Bird last night driving that was a MN12 with some rims on it and green underglow kinda of was shocked i don't think i had ever seen that car before.

I know some places in the US have a lot of laws on underglow kits what about where you live 1WLD BRD

nope, they aren't illegal in my town.  Drove by a bunch of cops lastnight with them on and nobody did anything.

yea in RI, having under glows is illegal(only while in motion. Can use them when parked)
having any lights other then head lights, fog lights, tail lights yada yada is illegal(like those light up windsheild washer nozzles, neons in the car, anything that can be seen from another car, ESPECIALLY blue, white, and red.
If you have blue red or white under glow lights you can get charged with impersonating a police/rescue vehical ive been told
not sure if the cop wanted to scare us so we couldnt buy them, but he seemed serious

it can only be considered inpersonating a rescue vehicle if they are flashing...  when is the last time you seen an emergency vehicle with just a blue light on, and not flashing?

and made a bad discovery today...  I dont think the hood scoops will clear the rad support...  Might have just wasted a decent hood...

and yea, most kits come with the flashers. Idk laws around here are dumb as hell.

We used to not have many laws untill like a few 100s cars got them and then they cut down on it.

lately a few cars have it and because theres not 2 many with underglow the cops don't care most of the time.

Overall thats a really nice looking car keep up the work.

See...even the car itself realized it wasn't cool enough for any Fox-chassied soul....
