Aftermarket Mods

[ross]

I'm probably a little too boring, but I just want the basics.
Want 5-speed, like the wheel covers, and am not looking for any wraps.
This is my thrifty car. I think the body alone will turn heads without me jazzing it up. I'm a simple Simon.
Maybe that's 'cause I live in Nebraska. If it's not a tractor; it turns heads.

However, I really like looking at the possibilities and ideas people have for their cars. Very creative, and I think it's great!

Dig it! I have a 1948 Allis Chalmers Model G! Rear engine, 4 cylinder flat head Continental, 62 cubic inches, 10 hp at the flywheel, 8 hp at the drawbar. I have a Troybilt horse rototiller with a single cylinder Briggs and Stratton with 8 horse. 3 more cylinders 2 more horses, but I love 'Allis'

I think a chromed plastic grill trim (surround the opening) would be a nice aftermarket part. Sure it would add 0.5 lb of weight, but it would match the chrome look of the headlights. Maybe have some driving lights mounted into it too.

Sound like my father; son, that car ain't got no chrome.

Not sure this is the right thread, but I've still been thinking about the times when additional storage/cargo space is needed. (move this post if I've chosen wrong)
Bear with me.
The rear wheel cover is supposed to be either removeable, or hinged, right?
"IF" it can be safely removed, why not have another one to put in its place that has additional storage pods and/or a "trunk" added onto the back? it'd be easy to place the lis plate on it, and it wouldn't interfer with the lighting already installed!
Normal days back and forth to work, the stock cover. Heading out for a weekend jaunt, put the cover with good cubic storage space built into it!
Hey you remarkable people and your renderings, can you come up with a picture based on my words??

although my dr assured me that it wouldn't happen with my new meds, my mind keeps wandering back to my ELIO.
For a brief moment I had this great idea to accessorize my car, for very little $.
How cool I thought to paint a passenger door
and two rear doors (the rear like the RX7/8? and Saturn- with the proper shading for the front handle!!

If you camp like a back packer, as I do, this would work very Well!!!lol

nice .... I can easily see an Elio with that configuration being in high demand for many businesses that need to haul small loads, a few tools or things like that
