Oh man, where to begin?
I painted my interior plastic and windshield wipers to match the body color of my car.
I installed a mustang II suspension in my 70 mustang which resulted in narrower track width, deletion of power steering, worse handling, poor drive train alignment and a worse ride.
lets see, what else....
Oh yea I put a set of cheap traction bars on my fairlane that most certainly reduced the cars ability to hook up. they also contacted the ground occasionally.
I strategically matched a radical cam with some cylinder heads that had large enough chambers to drop my compression ratio down to about 7.5:1. that ran well.
Any of you ever have a set of glow in the dark pedals??? I did. I eventually ditched them along with the girlfriend who bought them for me.
Here's one of my favorites: I once used ratchet straps to pull 2 leaf springs together so I could put a 9" rear in a car that required a wider perch width. Trapezoidal leaf spring geometry for the win!. eventually the bushings wore out on one side so I had one leaf that was in its natural position, the other side was being pulled way inboard.
I painted flames on my high school car. they actually turned out pretty good. But the masking was so much work I never completed the passenger side, and that's the way it stayed. The car only looked fast if I was passing you on the right.Zach
