Default Big Pine Key made it home....
Here's a tease after unloading it from the trailer. I've been in the garage listening to Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty while stickering it up. I got about half way through and started drinking beer so I quit. I'll finish it up tomorrow and post all the pix.

Interesting looking front end treatment. How about a closeup with better lighting so we can see how you have handled the ducts / radiator air intake, etc.

Hey Mike,

It won't compare with "The Beast," but it's a little different than what it used to be.

I'll get it finished tomorrow and post some pix.

All the ducting is same as on most others. We put a screen in front of the opening to keep it clean and easily removed.

I'll post some better pix tomorrow.

When I saw that, I spewed beer out of my nose. I like that a lot. That one you posted over on the NASA forum where the car was being hauled in with a helo was great, too.

Good work, Mark!

Well, I finally ran out of beer so I could finish putting the basic stickers on the car. I still have to decide on what more decals I want on there but I'll get those from David later.

Here it is:
