We recently talked about the wilder side of custom cars. That one looks like it would gather a crowd.

Didja notice the smoke generators in front of the wheels on the launch....a friends dad crewed that shoot...it wouldnt light the tires without pulling a wheelie!!!! From experience, I couldnt use low in the Th/350 mine had..I pulled a 2 ft'er in side street next to the old shop...actually installed wheelie bars after that, but pulled em a week later. Its a shame that the real one is wasting away, hanging from the ceiling of a night club in Atlantic City...Planet Hollywood, I think.. A bud of mine offered INSANE $$$ for it, was turned down....

The roll bar in the 1st one looks like a must have, If you do a #3 I'd look into it. I like the grave yard shot.

Wow, I never have followed the casket car market. What is the original car worth, if all these guys are making copies?
