I was going to keep the c4 lights but I had one dead motor, bad gear and the other was on its last leg. Local salvage wanted $300 per unit and as I stated I paid 40 for both (and they are extremely well made glass and bulbs are cheap)

As for the scoop it was a matter of necessity. Here in Vegas summer days can push 118 degrees and I was seeing 250 + on temp. You cant tell from pic but the scoop is open. Block plate was removed and perferated mesh was fabed in to filter debris.

As for the saw blades .....if I had the cash they would be gone. Economy is a major pain in the #!@. In time

Thanks and nice daily driver...... Is that your booth? At home? I'd sell my brother for a good booth...lol. I spend more time working around mother nature than anything else. High desert is no friend of mine, anything over 2 or 3 mph wind and your day is over.

Great job on the flames. Interesting look with the 300zx lights. I considered the design when I was developing mine. Definitely agree that you should open up the hood scoop to make it functional.
