A bit flash for the street, but hey, I'd be lookin' from the inside, out.

I'm still hung on a Mexico... front-draggers are awkward to me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nobody's got to know it's anything but a regular fiesta or Escort or whatever... Ford badges are cheap at the junkyard too.

yeah.... i've seen stuff like that done to Corvette Stingrays before.... not sure if they used an actual Stingray, but still kind of makes me sad to see a Vette done up like that, but makes me chuckle at the same time.
