I went and picked it up the weekend before Christmas...what a present. I was ecstatic with the quality of the body work, especially since he did it in 2 months. You can also see that he managed to flush mount the front and rear windows with modern rubber seals and eliminate the majority of the trim on the car. The color is of course prowler orange from the 2001 Plymouth prowler. The last thing I wanted to do was use a color that somebody else has uses so successfully but the car was always going to be orange. Originally I planned on gm atomic or sunset orange but after seeing pics of Penny I just couldn’t get the color out of my mind. Then I saw a prowler on the street and fell completely in love with the color.

I then moved on to the sound deadening. I covered the entire car with second skin damplifier pro. It took 2 bulk packs but I did from the top of the firewall all the way to the tail pan plus the inside and outside of the doors, entire roof and as far into the 1/4 panels as I could reach. What a difference! The thing sounds like solid lead when you knock on a panel and the doors close like a Mercedes. Then I put a layer of luxury liner pro on the entire floor and firewall, including the trunk. That stuff is thick and is supposed to block noise plus absorb heat.









I then continued with the interior install, exterior trim and stereo. I managed to get 6.5' separates into the stock kick panels by removing a bit of kick panel structure and surface mounting the tweeters on the cable pull area. The seats are Arizen with perforated suede on the seating surface for grip and a bit of cooling. The are ridiculously comfortable and good quality for the price.





And here she is after it's first washing on Friday. Now I just need to get an appraisal so I can insure and license it and actually drive it!
