I think the most you could get away with was if you were at a show, being offroad is still kinda iffy, cops would probably still call in someone mounting a gun on their car.

There was once a Celica with missles in the back, inside the tubes were subs, so they were like enclosures. I was just thinking about doing something like that with it. Theming my car all weapon-ish/decepticon.

This would be show/off road only and seeing as the tow hook screws on I would be able to remove it easily.

I'm pretty sure everything has already "been done"

Cars have been around awhile...

how bout putting a projector inside and having a spotlight, or maybe some red LEDs with white strobe, make it look like it's going off. Then you can add a p.a. system and have sound-fx or the music from Apocalypse Now......ok I'll stop.

Atleast someone is being supportive. I think I'm really gonna do it now. I'm highly considering this.

On the way to Cracker Barrel I was thinking to myself, it would be neat if someone did this but only re-routed a flamethrower exhaust kit to the front through that little tow hook.

Now that would be sweet at shows.

At shows, flamethrowers are another illegal thing, i feel like im bashing, but still, flamethrowers are cool. Especially when they are routed along the side of the car and hooked up to the security system.

Cracker barrel is a sweet resturant here.

Also, I had a Chicken BLT. Mmm Mmm.....tasty.

But yes. a flamethrower on my car would rock. But I think I might go witht he LEDs in the tube. Disconnecting a wire/clip of some sort after screwing on the barrel before/after shows and such would be very easy.

And then a smaller tube through the middle. Then weld a bolt with the same threading as the tow hook and pop it on.

Chrome it or flat black.
Holy Monkey! Is that Robin Williams' fore-arm in this pic?

I have one opinion.

Your defiantly touched, we need to check you in.

lol

The idea is unique and I like that. I wouldn't like to see you driving in the streets with something like t hat though but if it was strictly a show car then it would be nice to see it at HIN or something.

How about using this as you muffler (dual exhaust is better) and put something on it that when you step on the gas it fires like a guttling gun.. ratatatatatt!!!!
