Some ideas I've been kicking around for the rear, I'd form some fins out of conduit and chicken wire, I have a buddy who's good with fiberglass. I found a '53 Olds grill bar on the H.A.M.B. Classifieds, use the inserts on either end as molds for do-it-yourself resin taillights (http://makeautoparts.com/tlights.htm). The red strips in the middle would have T-Bird sequential turn signals inside. Add some perforated steel, 24 chrome drawer pulls, and a tubular side step from a late model pickup(which I happend to have laying around) for bumperettes. Eight tail pipes.
My new job(which I found through a H.A.M.B. buddy) has me so busy, I may have to have H.A.M.B.er Dave(Xtralow60) at Metal Masters finish it for me; I've been leaving the house at 6:30 A.M. and getting home at 10:30 P.M. Oh well, at least I'm stacking up some paper.
Not a route, I sell them by the freeway. Maybe someday, if I work really hard and sell lots of papers, I'll get my own route.
