Sorry,   I was hoping for a little more about the car. We had to watch the whole freak show just to see the car.  Sorry if I just made the freaks here mad but that just isn't my kind of show.

    IMO, any tatoo is trashy but that's just my opinion.

There was a decent article on this car in last months Mopar Collectors Guide. At the end he says that he is done with this one and is now looking for a big block Charger or something else. It also said that a company gave him the a/c setup free to try it on his car. Why can't somebody offer me free parts, guess I'm just not a famous person.

Wasn't it in  a Mopar mag just this month or last month?   

I remember reading about it.  Something like it was originally a 318 car then a 340 was popped into it.  Looked nice!
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Definitely a '72 318 Barracuda to start with the hood and rear valance added on later. I don't think he mentioned what brakes are on there.

The car looked good in most of the shots but kinda dirty in the begining.

That is a freakshow though  :iagree:

I just noticed you can see the Dayclona '71 Superbird in the backround of the photoshoot for a split second

    I may be a Newb on here but I have been Mopar for 26 solid years and had a subscription to Mopar Muscle since '94, seeing many cover cars and this shouldn't be one. It looked like it had a hole (turn signal?) in the top of the fender and wasn't in magazine cover territory. It's great that he's a Mopar fan but just because he's a TV personality shouldn't warrant him a cover on those merits alone. They know how to sell a mag though, people will pick it up just because of the eyebrowless tattoo man. 
    He didn't impress me with the Overhaulin guys tattoo either, left portion of the V was bowed.
    With the kind of money he makes it could be alot better, but then again, not my car and not my mag. More power to him.

 :iagree: He isn't that great of a tattoo artist. I've seen some of his work on that show . He needs help on his line work. Some of the other people on the show are better than him. Kat is an amazing tattoo  artist. And I don't think his Cuda is cover material either. The only thing he has is a really big ego. My youngest brother's work is 10 times better than his. IMO

That's alot nicer than his work. I have gotten some of my tats at places where you have to reserve a chair months in advance (and some that were spur of the moment), but after seeing real quality work, like the female on Miami Ink, it makes me wonder how people can be a fan of the show. He is your typical reality t.v. star, pompous.
