Should Caleb keep the CJ look?

[Paul R]

I really dig the WRX hood set up definatly with the scoop. It would be unique and look bad a$$!

 

[Herzog]

That kid on the left with the five hairs on his chin looks kinda shifty

yeah, we have to keep an eye on him

otherwise he'll take your bender and never give it back

What the crap? Isn't this thread supposed to be dissing on you?

Caleb,

You've seen my bro Scott's jeep right?

Started as a CJ, turned into mostly YJ... Now it's the CYJ-7... But then again, his isn't strictly off-road, it's a street legal trailer queen, with a blown engine!

I remembered how far out the rounded edge of the hood sticks from the tubes.

Cut it down the center and make it fit.

The problem is, the width is good at the front and at the back....it's just the bulging middle that's the problem.

Carl,
stop making shawn repeat himself....make a cut that removes a minimum amount of material from the rear, but enough in the front that it fits the angle of the hood rails. Leave the CJ grille. Just a little geometry there!

I have thought about it for a temporary solution BUT if I cut the hood down, that means I have to cut the grill down too...I was hoping to get something stock so if/when I roll and smash up the hood I dont have to remake the whole thing...and like Carl said, the front is right, and the rear is right but just in the middle the hood bulges so it looks kinda goofy...(OK, so it looks REALLY goofy)

Were are actually restoring my buddys 71 datsun 280 Z right now.... After looking at the front end on that I started thinking that it would be one killer looking front end for a buggy.... Nice rounded edges, extremely narrow...
wish i had a pic to post but the outer fenders are off and were sandblasting the whole thing so it just dosent look right as of the moment....

 

[Caleb]

What about a mini cooper hood

 

[brian]

....I think you should narrow/shape it and keep it.....

 

[Cody]

those fiberglass ricer hoods are supposed to be super brittle fwiw.

I say WJ.

[SAMI]

my vote is some cool hood and grill off of a car.... i like the uniqueness of random car looks...

 

[Greg]

Caleb... just a couple of ideas:

All 2004 model's!

Honda S2000-

Honda Accord-

Toyota Corolla-

 

[SAMI]

what about a Lincoln Navigator? i think that would be kinda cool....

 

[RockMonkey]

Take a tape measure down to the pick-n-pull, and see what you can find. I do like the s2000 hood though...

 

[James K]

do a super duty hood and grill

 

[mbryson]

do a super duty hood and grill

Sheesh, how about a '67 New Yorker.....


I like the Subi.......

 

[tweakeyjeep]

2001 Bmw Z3

How about my Mommies Car???

Headlights are not part of the hood... The grill is. I love that car!

Dig it. What is it, exactly?

 

[tweakeyjeep]

2001 BMW Z3.

Or... you could do the new Z4!

I don't know if either would work though, unless you chopped part of the rear of the hood. The hood is very long and has a huge engine bay (only to fit an inline 6 though.)

The middle part of the car is where the windshield meets the convertible soft top.
