will it fit?

redrum · 11-03-2003, 06:46 PM

ok.. screw the truck. i want this damned front clip in my possession!

only problem is, it comes with the stock hood also.
me and my buddy (94-98GT) are going up there, and probably taking both cars to fit all the stuff. i am thinking that his car can fit probably 3 of the rims he is getting, and i can throw the other one in the trunk of my mothers GT for him. meanwhile, im gonna wrap the front clip and see if i cant jimmy-fit it sideways, halfway in the front passenger, and the rest of it in the back. only problem is.. where will the hood fit? any ideas? is there some way to fit it in the cab somewhere?!! i dont need to be comfortable for the drive, i just need to make sure it doesnt ruin the leather!

any ideas?

i dont think you can get the hood to fit. You will have problems clearing the rear shock towers. The clip will fit, you just have to lay down the back seats and maybe have the passenger seat all the way forward and into the dash. You should be able to fit up to 8 rims if you stack it right. I jammed a 30 gallon fish tank, stand, and two tens" with box in the back of my civic.
Good luck!:jeff:

redrum · 11-03-2003, 06:54 PM

wow! hmm.. well, we can do SOMETHING to get that hood here.. i know it!

short of tieing it to the roof its not coming home in a stang.. youll need an suv or a truck at the least... my hood barely fit in the bed of a ranger ...layed down

I dont think a front clip will fit in inside a car at all. you need the front bumper, bumper reinforcement,headlight panel , headlights, hood, two fenders, radiator, fan, a/c condenser, radiator support, and a fan shroud.
you might get the rad. , a/c cond , fan, and maybe 1 fender in there , but no way all of it and you will probably destroy the interior trying. rent a Uhaul for only 39.95 and carry everything at one time.

mileage will kill him.. but find someone with a truck or suv

redrum · 11-04-2003, 12:41 AM

problem solved. found someone with a flatbed trailor, and im going to use my dads truck to tow it. just sucks i have to drive back to go get the truck. but, ill be able to tow my car back to SA like that, as well i think... which will cut me major money on the tow of the car!:jeff: we'll see, i still dunno how big the trailor is.

EWP · 11-04-2003, 01:02 AM

john, i can rent you a UAHUL for cheap if you want, it'll be 20 fot the truck and .49 a mile. plus cost of refilling the gas you used.
plus, we've got some badass v-10 trucks on my lot right now!
let me know, they're fun to drive!:jeff:

redrum · 11-04-2003, 08:02 AM

hmmm.. thats a thought. how big are the trucks? can i roll my car up on it somehow?

Musclestang721 · 11-04-2003, 08:56 AM

i think you put the car on the trailer and tow it with one of the trucks ???

redrum · 11-04-2003, 09:01 AM

right.. i wanna roll the car into the trailer, along with the front clip and some rims... and then tow the trailer with a truck...

I've seen guys put cars in the back of uhauls before. just drove it up a loading ramp and into the truck then tied it down REAL good.

redrum · 11-04-2003, 12:53 PM

yea.. ill do that, and of course park it in gear with the ebrake all the way up as well. probably do that. way cheaper that way.

**12second5.0** · 11-04-2003, 06:24 PM

If you pull it on a trailer you will still need to tie it down with some chains or straps.I've seen cars fall of a trailer with just the E-brake on.Secure that ride John!:jeff:
