Looking good guys, but isn't the dust storm on a Duster based on the Tasmanian Devil?  :clueless:
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.

As far as I know it's not. It was based on a Tornado or "Twister".
I don't even think our good cartoon mate, Tass was invented back then.

little history from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_Devil_(Looney_Tunes)
In fact, this appetite serves as the impetus for McKimson's "Devil May Hare" (first released on June 19, 1954). In the short, the Devil stalks Bugs Bunny, but due to his dim wits and inability to frame complete sentences, he serves as little more than a nuisance. Bugs eventually gets rid of him in the most logical way possible: matching him up with an equally insatiable female Devil. The character's speech, peppered with growls, screeches, and raspberries, is provided by Mel Blanc.


But I've never heard of a connection between Taz & the Duster.

NZ, I Absolutely love the Mongooses. I definately think that either that or the Tazmanian Devil are the best choices submitted. I don't know if I am totally sold on the stance and posture of the mongoose though. Why don't we do a poll and have three choices Mongoose, Taz or write in. Afterall, with Aeon Flux where would you stick everything, engine, exhaust, Rods, Pistons, etc. ???

We would also have to do something with Taz for the final product. I would like to see something like Ed Roth one, but substituting the Rat with the Mongoose/Taz. I am going to have to get me some tools for doing some of these things, although I don't think that they would ever turn out like Nz's. Never really been a creative person.

I reckon we should go with Tazzy myself. All in favor? :dunno:
He's an animal but still cute and when he talks or goes into a spin he sounds like a wild and angry Mopar engine.

I think he looks good as is IMO. The Roadrunner for example is just the roadrunner and he looks good.
When you start to add items ie: pistol grip, R/T badge, exhausts, hat, cars it gets too crowded and messy.

Just my opinion. He may need a bit of colour, that's all?  :dunno:

I think that we need to make him distinctive and say Challenger R/T. Already has plenty of symbols flying around him. Replace some of them with some horsies, funny looking birds, an ugly fish in bad need of an orthodontist, etc. an R/T tatoo.
