I dropped the seller a line and it's 25K not 25 bucks...bummer
...but still what a bargain for a project....someone needs to jump on this one before it gets away...

Add another $2000 and you could have a '64 coupe instead.

I have seen that bat c3 before...the work is so top shelf...the time the money...it "looks" a little bit like the batmobile but no where near a "replica" and even though I love customs this is one of those I would be embarrassed to stand next to much less drive....

That would be "Maco" or Mako" but you are getting closer...
How is the pink paint on YOUR car coming along?
Oh, I get it...you are getting your car painted Pink at Maacos...hey they do okay budget paint jobs....
Have you actually driven your car since you last poked at me?
Since you asked...
I am wicked jazzed...my car has been a blast and a half to drive in the cooler weather top off...so I admit I have yet to install the mako front clip....I admit I need to stop having fun driving my car and get out there and install the silly clip...it's ready to go I could do it in one day easy-o
So anyhoo...hope you guys are doing well and had a great holidays,
And like I always tell you, get that car out there and drive it...have some fun for a change.

I can't find a paint company that has the hot pink I'm looking for, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I'm going to find the shade I'm after. Most companies only have a pastel pink like a Mary Kay car and that won't do. I'll be painting it myself starting the spring of '12. Its minus 30 with 2 feet of snow on the ground so naturally I haven't driven my car since October and won't until April.

Some pinks are like easter eggs the others look like stomach medicine..I do believe House of Kolor would make it for you and if not then Mike will make it for you....

Mike is a sometimes cranky always snarky buddy I have been lucky enough to have known about 20-25 years....we share the passion of customs/vettes,
Mike is retired but worked for people like Barris, Greenwood and Ecklers, he was in many kit car mags in the late 80's for the ZR Bug.
He still owns many molds including some rare Greenwood stuff like the Daytona wide body.
As you can imagine his home and backyard is like a museum of vettes and other junk.
When I buy this or that part Mike likes to make a mold perhaps someone will want the part perhaps not, like for example people wanted the 68/69 side vents/gills.
Mike could if needed mix a custom paint color and for less than lol 2K
Anyone who wants Mikes number hit me in private...

I really want the project car, but I don't think I'll be able to pull it off. Can someone use a good project to finish the winter out with?

Obvious glass skills but why? All that and the back bumper wasn't blended into the body
