It might not be the first.
But it might be the definite look. (IMVHO)

My T-Toped RX-7.

The under construction Images.

Now it's painted and detailed and entered in a contest at RCmod.com.

Custom T-Top.
Custom Exhaust.
Custom Paint.

I may even get a Phast Motors Driver in there soon.

BilBo, you crafty devil, that paint job is Blingin Pimp, especially the way you've incorporated it in the T-top. Nice touch! Man we got some serious talent all up in Da Hood!

Betta Recognise!

I don't like doing things half way.
After I painted the black and silver I felt it needed a little color. I added the stripes and it made sense to have it throught the top.
I'm glad you like it.

that thing looks mean! Something about a T-top... the cars that had them were badass. It adds a 70s vibe to the RX7.

Maybe I should have put a scoop on the hood and put on TA 6.6

There's always the next car. I wonder which body would be the best starting point for a late 70's Trans Am? That would be a fun car to build... the crown jewel of white trash America (I mean that in a good way, if that's possible).

Eastbound & Down, loaded up and trucking.
Were going to do what they say can't be done.
Long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm eastbound and let that bandit run.

Back when you couldn't get Coors east of the Mississippi.

The supposed thrill of doing something illegal, but not really dangerous.

remember that whole "It's the RAT beer now" joke thingy?
after a guy supposedly found a tiny mouse in a can of beer? lol

That T-top looks clean, and that is a really cool paint job. Great work Bilbo.

I've never lived east of the Mississippi, so I had no idea they couldn't get Coors back then. 'Round here only cowboys, and Wrangler wearing wannabes drink that stuff the rest of us call it piss water and drink Bud, which I guess several other cultures refer to as piss water. It's all piss water to someone.

Personally I don't drink.

The main story point of Smokey and the Bandit was that bringing Coors east of Texas was concidered bootlegging. Tax laws can be a pain.
