Thanks!! The inspiration was a trip I took alone to Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears migrate. It was a trip long awaited and anticipated. It changed me as a person. Then the car came along and what better way to celebrate the car, my trip and turning 50 all at the same time. It was a sort of new independence found. Steve captured my pictures and brought them to life. He's GREAT! Would love to see what you ended up with.

The engine is all stock mechanically. I just added my painted pieces. I love it. People always want to know how I keep it so clean but it really never gets too dirty. Of course, we don't go out in the rain.

It has become clear to me in the few shows I've been in that the more bling you have, the better your chances of winning something. It was my lucky day because I won a ratchet set and some door sill covers (with Skulls).
