And AWWWW his buddy, Area 51, has just privatized his account.
Hey Chris!... Yep... a "Woodside"... (Verb- to damage a movie car while in the act of driving it.) as in "Damn... I was coming home from the car show and someone WOODSIDED the Delorean!" It works... go with it dude.
And no... a 66 Chrysler Imperial Gets a nose, two rear quarters with rear wheel covers, a rear bumper, a rear roof section and 4 custom wheels or hubcap replicas (In the case of Now-Silent Bob's kits.
I delivered the kit 11 years ago to a guy in Detroit who also got an 89 and a 66. Took him 7 years to finish the 66 (But it's f@#$ing FANTASTIC!!!) and he had two years into the 89 build (and still going strong). I asked him to let me splash the nose and he ended up trading me back the entire kit for some Aluminum wheel bats and speaker boxes for the 89. Said he would get to building the car in another 10 years so he was willing to part with it.
I really only needed the nose... because the Lincoln Town Car limo already had a boxed off rear roof section, didn't need that part, the hubcaps are hideous and I bought new Lincoln chrome rims on Pirellin 50's, and custom made some yellow center caps with wasps on them, I'm just gonna black-powdercoat the chrome rear bumper and I just added sheet metal to the rear quarters.
But the nose was a bitch! The Imperial is almost a foot wider than the Town car, so it had to be chopped twice to get it to fit the hood lines, then I had to lower it on both sides to meet the hood and make new headlight buckets.
All that's left is to move the bottom parts of the front fenders out to meet the nose. (Cutting the nose would be silly) This will let me keep the cornering lamps too.
Then (we've already made the billet grill for the center (WITH revolving front plate instead of machine gun... DAMN NJ front plate laws!) and the headlights) we've just gotta rip off all the chrome and the old crappy silver roof and send it to paint shop for monochroming and a new black roof.
I'm probably gonna break down and do the weird crystal antenna on the back where the boomerang is, but it's not gonna function because there is enough trunk space there to hold 5 bodies, not gonna sacrifice that.
Then it's time to lower it (gotta slam this car, and go "serious gangster") and put a pair of yellow GH logos between the doors.
The inside is all red crushed velvet (REALLY PIMPIN!). Only gonna add a flat screen flip down in front of the privacy wall and replace the current TV with a showcase that holds the mask and the GH gas gun.
Can't go TOO authentic, I've already F'ed up by using the wrong donor car.
"HI!!! My name is Jeff, and I want you to make me a PERFECT replica of the Fast and the Furious Eclipse, exact in EVERY DETAIL... but on a Ford Probe!"
I HATE those kids that come into the shop with that one!
But it will be fun to have a Black Beauty Limo to roll to the premiere of GH next year.
The girlz are really into using it to go to the beach this summer. You can't see in it, so they can get trashed at the mini bar, get suited up, hit the water and have their own change room right on the beach.
And HEY... I traded the limo for a NJ State Police Car that almost got me SHOT on 911. So it's a no-brainer really.
Thanks for askin' and thanks for the comments on the 66. Did the custom billet work for the center console today, and some serious work on the dash. But "Sapphire" (above) brought a friend to the metal shop and we all BS'd our photo op time away today. (Maybe I'll put her in the back of the GH limo and shoot some pics this week.)
All the best,
