It has a bunch of motor in it and probably a bunch of chassis work. I am reminded of something Dolly Parton has been know to say in relation to her surgeries though..............."It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!"

Yup, that's some of why I'm driving my Jeep right now and why I kept it when the 200 was bought.

Here here! I'm driving the Jeep right now, but have only needed the scrapper enough to clear it's winshield........once! I've not even worn any kind of jacket much so far..............

It was bought by an idiot with more time and sandpaper than brains and sense.

Looks good so far! Apparently this kit was more or less a rip off of the AMT '40, so it was better than the other kits from it's original manufacturer.

End of the world, that looks like what I've got in my back yard..........I'm kinda disappointed to be honest, I should be having to clear 12" of snow off the Jeep to get to work today judging by the noises coming from outside all night and that's all we got!

We're getting there, read something recently about a company that is working to make Ethanol from garbage and Dupont is building a plant to create it from not normally used portions of plants (corn stalks for example!) Eh, catch him at the light or sign and drag his rump out of an unlocked door or even halfway through an open window would work, especially if the guy in the pickup had no situational awareness

I hit a deer with the Shadow Turbo Coupe I used to own and it still ran off (and the car was still driveable too!), Don't even want to think about hitting a bear!

I think the police are catching on to that nonsense. A friend of mine was running around in his warmed over 6.0l SuperDuty and saw an old CUCV K-20 rolling coal all over everything. Maybe a hour or so later, he was pulled over by a city cop because there had been 911 calls about a truck dumping black smoke everywhere, and since he has a SuperDuty, he got stopped and questioned. In that conversation, he told the cop that he refused to do that with his SD, but had seen that CUCV rolling coal earlier and was willing to bet it was that guy he was looking for. Not sure what came of it, but my friend was pretty pissed about being profiled because of that other truck owner.

Diesels have almost become the "ricers" of truck modding. I guess a little smoke is good for the engines when under heavy load (pulling, racing, ect), but when they start pouring out that much smoke it's more for show and/or to be raging douchebags (moreso the latter) and just wastes $4.00+ a gallon fuel. Funny you mentioned coal, they actually call doing that "Rolling Coal" and use and little excuse to do that.......See somebody on a bicycle, dump smoke on 'em....see a hybrid, dump smoke on them too........see a car with an open window, fill it with smoke, even if it's a minivan with kids in it.

Touche

I can think of two major advantages of OHV engines vs OHC, DOHC engines in particular...... #1. Center of gravity, less valvetrain mass and is mostly lower in the block too which will help lower the engine's and vehicle's CG. #2. Packaging, OHC and especially DOHC V engines are wider than OHV and especially Flathead motors. A good example would be Chrysler's 3.8l OHV Minivan motors, 3.5l SOHC "Prowler" motor, and 3.6l Pentastar motor that replaced both the 3.8l and 3.5l. The 3.8l doesn't seem much wider than a modern DOHC inline engine where the 3.5l is noticeably wider and the 3.6l looks huge, especially in the FWD vehicles.

Those are kinda like the Brock Sampson Charger, there's already kits available that can be built into those...........now if somebody in the two related industries would think about licensing those kits and shows together.................

Come to think of it, I'd love.to have one of the Batmobiles from "The Animated Series"! Always thought it looked like a cross between a Batmobile and a landspeed racer

Well, I already have a Pentastar equipped Chrysler 200 and 4.0l Jeep Cherokee Wouldn't mind another Lebaron GTS, maybe something like this, but with an SRT4 engine and 6 speed auto like the one in my 200 '87 Shelby Lancer (only year for a Shelby Built Lancer) '88 or '89 Dodge Lancer Shelby (Shelby in name only) but an Elenore inspired build, also SRT4 motored. Chrysler 200 Limited Hardtop Convertible, also Pentastart powered But bagged, shaved handles and 200 badging on decklid, and painted Chrysler's Black Crystal Clear Coat (metallic black with silver, red, and blue flake in it), I'd leave the stock wheels though, I do like how those look! Chevy Beauville van but more of a mild drop with 17f/18r truck Rally wheel clones, 6.0l LS motor with 4L80E trans, and in all black and chrome......oh, and without the visor, deflector, and running boards on this one.

Did they nick name that version of the car Bucky by chance?

Disney XD's Motorcity! All of the Burners' cars as well as the LARPer geeks' vans

I'd have no problem ordering one the right way, although I'd go 2wd and save the money spent on the 4wd for a mess of sandbags and some good snow tires.

Are you sure it's not meant for those who want to be buried in their Caddy's? Needs lots of pal barers to carry that much weight!

Outside of the transmission part, you still can get the rest of that with the Ram Tradesman pickups! If you need that granny low first, you may need to look at the front drivers with the 6 speed autos, the one in my 200 has a 4.127:1 first gear and isn't even good for 20mph

Don't care much for the Camaro tail lights, but that wouldn't stop them from doing round tails that are kinda "cut off" at the top like like the square tails on the Camaro, Malibu, and upcoming Impala are.

The Chevy is kinda meh to me, and not even worth capitalizing the letter m kinda way. The GMC could teach the people who designed the current Superduty and that Nissan van thing how to make an ugly truck....................which I was hoping wasn't possible..............

Yup, bet it just floats on down the road too!

That............could be worse than the yellow snow! LOL!

I think that's a different concert Harry, many of the same people are involved though.
