Now to the custom one of a kind interior(I did all this fiberglass work myself,It truely was a work of art!)
All the panels from the bootom level of the windows have been glassed and modded,I MEAN ALL OF THEM!
What wasn't modded was smoothed ,primed and painted to match the exterior paint scheme.
Custom dual pillar pod(we made ,they don't make one for the del sol)center console glassed W/ a Dakota Digital voltmeter (to monitor the bump in the trunk!),shaved int, door handles(if you don't own a del sol you wont know what i'm referring to but i knew it was done),fully functional visors were smooted,glassed and painted(this was a pain by the way,i'll never do these again),T.V. molded and glassed into where the rear view mirror used to be,fully glassed headliner W/ 3D honda logo W/ graphics ripping through it to match ext. scheme.
In the trunk:
(2)Rockford Fosgate Punch 200's,1 adcom 4350,1 farad cap,15lb. NOS bottle(hooked up but never shot through,all for show points)all the stero equip was built into the spare tire well for that smooth look!
inside I had a Diamond audio component set in the doors,and bass shakers mounted to each seat(for a little extra)
I'm sure there is a lot more I can't think of right now but you get the picture.There was a lot of work put into this car.We completely built this car up in about 6 mo.(over the winter between show seasons) and I had approximately 23K$ into it
For those of you who think this is "RICE" ,you better think again !This car was by no means rice and I got a lot of respect from younger guys and older hot rod guys as well.Everyone thought it was one of the cleanest and nicest all around cars!
For those who want to see how far I came in a short period of time I'm putting up a link to a magazine where I was featured in DEC. '01 .These pics were from the previous show season before the pics you have just seen!ENJOY and check out the rest of the mag too!
