I got into a challenge again with 9 other guys from Omaha. At the show Sunday, we all bought a POS for under $5 to put in the pot. We all drew numbers after the show and pictures were taken of each build. Whatever number you drew, you ended up with that model. The rules are to rebuild it to "nice as you can" from a POS glue bomb, built up/junker. You may not like what you end up with, but the rules are rules.... I ended up with a '70 Plymouth GTX and NO am sorry, but I am not a muscle car guy....but I have built some before. here is what I have to work with.... MISSING dash board, steering wheel- one on the way! MISSING air grabber from hood-one on the way! MISSING 3 wheels- who cares MISSING engine-coming up with one THIS ONE IS GOING DRAG RACING! *this is in the stripper right now* Bringing out the Bob Dudek beauties! Will be redoing this tire, but was trying it out....never used these before.

Junker grab bag buildoff is a neat idea. Dudek wheels are sweet !

Robert, I wanted the '53 Ford Pickup BAD....just didn't get it Charlie, yeah I just didn't want to take credit for someone else's paint job By the way...this also will have PRO TECH parts on it Dave, the wheels I got from Bob Dudek. He makes a bunch of stuff in aluminum and it's all very nice as you can see. ;D Hopefully I can pull it out of stripper tonight and get measurements of doors for KDog aka Kenny Shores. I have some custom decals coming from him! The name should suffice "Drastic GTX". This is how they will look. I am planning a yellow paint job....
