Brian sent in the following pictures of his modified Avenger. Brian wasn't very wordy, the 1st picture is the before, right Brian? |

Using only the best in high tech tooling (it's a billet coffee can!)
Vision, patience, & craftsmanship pay off.

Looks like we louvered the nostrils, filled the mouth with lights, put eyeliner on and ...
are those fuel fillers? Nice Work Brian.

Integral mud flaps (or are they anti-stone throwing thingies?) , I think I detect flat, tinted side glass, and one solution to the side window problem, build you own tracks with mirrors installed like modern cars. I like it. The pictures look old, but the car looks contemporary. Brian - send me some details about the car!
News Flash - New details and more pictures added. Brian wrote:

| The filler caps on the hood are for brake fluid on driver's side and
gas fill on passenger's side. I used honda goldwing turn signals for the front they
are suspended by 1/2 inch black pipe on a flange bolted to inner liner.Car has
an overhead console for radio, and a hand built dash that houses tv and the
gauge set. The stick shift has 4 buttons ( from a PC arcade game) that operate the horn, dimmer switch, backoff lights in the rear, and a security set switch to arm the alarm. The car has no handles or key slots. It has proximity switches built into the body. You pass your hand over the arming switch then you reach for the door and it opens to your hand. ALA radio shack 555 chips. I also have a remote trip switch to unlock the doors as well. There are external jumper terminals in case the battery goes dead so you can open the doors. I bought it from a guy who had been using it as a playhouse for the neighbor hood kids for 12 years. It had no chassis and was pretty beat up. Paid 250.00 for it. When I took it to it's first car show- I took people's choice and first place full custom. We'll see what hapens in it's next incarnation. |
