Don't want to be TOO Nosey, but how does this work?
How are the projects selected?

And do they sell those Mopar treaded tires to the general public?

Definately not, not road worthy. We do get the 'overhaulin' 'bf goodrich' tire. Not street legal of course

I wont go too much into detail. but you send in a application and there are thousands upon thousands. They have a data base on a computer they type in what they are looking for and such. for the most part, from what i understand they go around so califonia most of the time. and stray to vegas for sema every year.

we pay taxes on the value of the car. which from what i understand is 5-$10,000  :wave:

WOW! The car looks simply amazing!

You and your dad must have been thrilled! Congratulations!

(BTW- What was the backstory that they gave your dad for his car vanishing, if any?)

Mike,
The car looks AWESOME.....you must have had the time of your life!  I bet your dad is excited as well.  Do you know what kind of seats they used in the car?  I've been looking for some just like them but can't seem to find any.  The closest I found was Corbeau seats but $$$......

Watching it being built was truely an incredible experience. I only wished they had a see thru wall to watch it as it was being painted. It's going to turn heads everywhere it goes from now on. A very nice car.  :thumbsup:
