Absolutely love it Ben!!!! Check out my mirrors I made with the turn signal when you get a chance!

Since my son's Coppertop '78 Cutlass wagon got wasted by a negligent driver who crashed into him, we've decided to yank Pumkinator's complete chassis and slide it under his car to replace his bent frame. I'm picking up a spare frame this weekend and will start a fresh build for Pumk. Part of the plan is I have some ideas for new frame bracing designs and I will do a little more tweaking to the frame to tuck 315s all around on the car. All coming soon...

WOW what an awesome rendering! A little nod to the 80's yes?

Back in the early 90s someone did a salt flat Syclone that has a similar paint design. I've always wanted to do that to a car but it never really fit. I think it works on this one.

The body color wheel hoops and blah blah all over the car leans a bit towards the drifter crowd. I'm a marketing guy so I aim to build a car that appeals to all car crowds. well, maybe the old street rod guys might not like it too much but I think most others will.

I also like overcoming big challenges and going places most haven't so since I had planned on using a burnt orange metallic vinyl wrap for the top half I get to show it can be done by cutting it on a plotter.
