Looking for a racing/custom shop in Virginia
I need to find a street racer/custom car shop in or near Fairfax, Virginia, near D.C.
Also, I have a few questions about mods on a Ford Exploder. It's a 4 door Exploder and I'd like to "suicide" the rear doors. How hard is that going to be?
I'd also like to put a kit to raise and lower it. I like the stock/stealth look and don't want it "tricked out" on the outside. I prefer it at the stock height when driving,... I can see further down the road.
The biggest thing is, I'm in a wheelchair and the lowering kit will make it easier to get in and out, kind of like the city busses that "kneel" so the old and disabled can get on and off easier. And the suicide doors will make it easier for me to stow gear and my chair.
After that,... hmmmm who knows?? Rebuild the engine, a little nitrous, maybe some more comfortable racing seats, etc, etc.
I'd kind of like to modify my main wheelchair too. It's a Permobil Street. It's the fastest powerchair on the market. I've already upgraded the chip that runs the electric motors and that allows them to run faster. Plus the body work on the Street comes standard with "euro" style tail lights. I plan on getting neons underneath it. And I plan on changing the standard seat to a racing style seat. I also want to change the standard foot pegs to billet style racing pedals. Someone else suggested that even though Nitrous doesn't work with electric motors I could get a small bottle with purge valves underneath.
Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'd sure appreciate suggestions and the name of a shop close to me.
Thanks,
Gravel
