You knew that they wouldn't follow exactly what you said, and had to add some kind of paint flourish... If it turned out to be a nice cruiser it would be condemned by the majority of the ignoramuses who watch the show and who are at the network...

BTW - The C-C.C shirt DOES have the Mopar "M" on the front... and if they absolutely, unequivocally will not let you wear it, try presenting it to your father as an "official gift" from you to dear ol' dad. You know, welcoming him back into the Mopar fraternity... they wouldn't edit that kind of sentimental stuff out...

Something like this would be great for me so I could have all the modern components. This would make for great braking, performance, and a real show stopper. I love building the stock cars but I think I sould move on to build me a modern driver to cruise in and have some fun. Thanks for all the updates.

That paint scheme is growing on me Mike!

But I don't know what to think about the white stripe above the rear window, unless thats just protective plastic?  :dunno:
