Awesome!!! It's even that much better because it was such a bland junker in the 1st pic

You need to put some "teeth" in the front grill or something....make it look mean,

I bet the car never thought he'd finish life as a Babe car.

Nice going on the roof spoiler. Is that a Mustang hatch spoiler?

can't sneak one past the GRM crowd. Indeed it is, the guys at the junkyard were looking at me quizzically when I told them I needed the front lip spoiler off a truck (ended up being an F150) and the tail spoiler of a foxbody mustang notchback.

no fear, the project is not over. It will be fully decked out (including lights and loudspeaker) when I'm done.

When I'm done it will have PURSUIT written across the trunk, as I decided to go with copying the Big Bopper.

That is a great theme. Just obscure enough for the uninitiated and well-executed for those in the know.

Great work.

Thanks all for the compliments. I'll have more pictures up when I have all of the appropriate lettering and exterior accessories and doodads attached.

That's one bada$$ Mopar! You are pretty darn good with masking tape; love the livery.

You rock.

That is indeed cool. Bonus points if you finish it off at the end of the rally by driving it into a pile of 55 gallon drums and it explodes or something! ;)

Just so I'm clear on "BABEs" Are these the women who wear short shorts who shouldn't, have blue or green eyeliner, a tattoo hanging over the top of said shorts so you can see only the very top of it, and smoke cigarettes with a perpetual 1" ash hanging off the end? The ones who, when they say in a gravely voice, "hey, you're kinda cute", makes your sphincter tighten up?

I got it, so this car is like that "Death Flower", the one that reeks of decaying flesh to attract flies.

Okay, just wanted to be clear.
