I was thinking more like...

- off-set TA's with Coil-over mounts.
- narrow rear sway bars to clear offset TA's.
- modern brake caliper kits.
- Air suspensions
- Stainless Steel sidepipe headers {like Hookers}
- Whipple supercharger / port fuel injection system.
- tubular front A-arms and coil-over suspension
- 9" ford center section w/ billet half shafts {aka Indy style}


Something like that... :D

stainless steel under body detachable plates for protection and aerodynamics, ill just make one my self.
a tubbing kit for the front
a 427 for under 100 dollars that makes over 800 hp
a heat insulation kit that really works
a rear seat for when more than one girl wants a ride, it happens alot and apparently alot of people dont realize its a 2 seater, so they say they will go in thier trunk.
a ford rear end converted to be a independent suspension and fit a vette.

MAtt

Correct reproduction parts that are actually configured exactly like the part that is supposedly being reproduced. With equal quality and proper dimensions so that they actually fit and appear original.

great ideas all... as for me... ahem...

A blown MPEFI aluminum big block with nitrous that will fit under a stock hood.

Oh, and coil overs, tubular a-arms, flip-top front end, fixed headlights a la c5-r, and a 1lb. bottle that holds 10lbs. of nitrous... and it would be nice if the above blower had a clutch/bypass... :D

Yes, I bookmark everything :-D http://www.rollhard.com/defihud.htm

Also, a removeable rear window kit for later years, so I don't have to scrounge for all the parts!
