Instead of the V8 he is replacing it with a six and he is doing it up to make it look like one of the old Corvette Blue Flame Specials. He is painting the car a Triumph colour that looks like a combination of Panther Pink and Barney purple, and then he will add some blackout trim, black spoiler, and black side stripes to give it a bit of a late 60s Mopar look.

With all due respect to your friend, that sounds like sh!t.



The E-Type hearse looks like some shooting brake conversions they used to do in England.

Yep - he and I had a number of conversations about what colour to make it. I was pushing for Aston green with a yellow nose flash. Before he found out that he was getting laid off he was going to keep the V8 and we had designed a cartoon logo that was sort of like the Mopar bee, but based on the Jag leaper, and it was going to be called 'Bad Kitty'.

He used to drive a Gremlin in cammo paint, and recently had an orange Gremlin X with all the striping and mag wheels.
