Snake Skinner or Cash - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

If you can make some money, I'd sell them. They aren't any lighter than many forged aluminum wheels. They don't have much brake clearance, and are kind of a "clunky" style. The spokes are real thick, as is the barrel, so they don't look very open.

I would also wonder how well magnesium wheels retain their strength over time?

I vote for the Snake Skinner, I thought of of doing one with the cars getting so cheap

Lee,Skin that M@th#r F@ck#r

You can sell all the parts that come off and get half the purchase price of the car back.

Well, between the Hvac box, A/C parts, seats, seat switches, door panels,center console,all carpeting,exhaust manifolds,secondary parts, a bunch of misc.parts i.e. ECM plastic cover,TB cover,radio,speakers, radio bezel,rear shade etc.
He can eliminate ABS if he wanted.

I think Lee paid $9k for the car if he gets $3-4k back heck he will have a
$5k Skinner that will haul some butt.

Snake Skinner also had third brake light removed from the roof to the rear bumper, only 1 outer taillight worked on either side. Carbon Fiber brakes(yes in 1991), Center counsel out, cloth seats, radio ant, etc.

Isn't that about what just selling the Dymags would bring for $. He could still sell the parts of the SS and completely recoup his purchase price of car.
