    Lightbulb My Spyder Theme

    I was going to keep this under wraps until it's done because it's such a huge overhaul but what the hell- we're family here, right?

    My Spyder goes under the knife- er... brush in a month. Total repaint. She's going from red to camo to resemble a P-40 Warhawk complete with new teeth, faux rivets, Air force logo, Flying tiger logo, and American flag on the rear fender.



    Other Accents

    Gun barrels from the air vents - I'm going to do it with PVC or metal plumping pipe. Might play around with making them functional in some fashion.

    ****pit - I found some original gauges from a P-40 on eBay which I'll mount around the console. I'll throw in some rocker and flip switches too for the LED lighting.

    LED Lighting - Red, white, and blue. I've got the red. I'll get the blue and white from MM. Police will love the red and blue.

    Tailgunner Exhaust - Very cool and very fitting.


    I'm open to any other ideas you might have to add to the War Machine theme.

    Cool. Looks more like a Warthog but very cool.

    AWESOME!! I can't wait to see. I have been getting SOOO MANY compliments on my Silver/Red/Black tri-tone paint on my Spyder, so thanks for helping me get an awesome new look for a nice price.

    We'll have to hook up when I am in Indianapolis next September visiting my parents.
