wow, I really wonder if they know what they're getting themselves into, my dad started with an excellent shell and it still took him ages and heaps of $'s to get it to where it is, he's looking at selling it soon and the hard works been done. Good luck to anyone starting at this point.

How do you go driving the Interceptor on the streets, Did you get a permit to drive it or have you got it regoed? That would have to be my second favorite car. What an awesome site to see the two cruising down the street.

Pat that is way cool!! Only thing is you need to record the MFP radio caller and remove the light cover.(lol)
I would love to see the look on some the faces in the cars passing.
I think it’s a fair trade your sole for a BOB, that grin on your melon says it all
