    That one should be easier to change the lighting color. Not sure if l like the grill design on that one. Doesn't give me the whole Super Bee vibe, but thats only my opinion. I know whatever you end up with, it will be good!!

    Now lets see some modding!!

    I'm gonna go with the first case instead and ...

    Alright here's the plan. I will stick with the first case, but it doesn't look like I can create a scoop, so....

    I will cut a hole in the top of the case and mount an engine. It won't look like the car in the pic, but it will look beefed up. The engine below is the 427, not the 383 that the car has, only better. Like many classic muscle cars, this case will appear to have been upgraded to an engine so big that it sticks out the top of the hood.



    The engine has moving parts too. If you move the geer here:



    It spins the fan here:



    So if I tie in a small fan (say 40mm) I can get this engine going!

    Copy cat!

    Also, Just so you know, Mopar never had a 427. You might want to look for a good Hemi model engine.

    I really didn't know, anywho...

    Since this is a dodge theme, I got the 426 dodge engine instead.. I swear I'm gonna go broke long before I can buy a single PC component.

    you shouldn't use a sticker, use a real emblem thing from the cars... but it'll cost you more
    also, could you not construct some kind of hood on the top? just like a real car or something.. may be a bit complicated to make but I think it'll look nice

    looking forward to see this mod completed (or a worklog... :p)

    Wow its a good thing you got the Dodge engine, I fear if you would have put the Chevy 427 BB in a Dodge mod, it may have gotten you assasinated. Any way the HEMI motor is going to be a very nice touch! Where the 383 Magnum was the most common engine for the 1971 Super Bee, there was an option for the 426 HEMI, and a few of them were built. A 40mm fan might not have enough torque to get that engine to spin, might want to look for some gear motors just incase.

    The emblem he is emulating there is off of the hood.. There was no physical emblem, it was a decal.

    Ebay has them as vinyl decals. I can't find them in green though.
