i seen a episode where they took a ford ranger, and lowered it down, did a bright orange paint job with orange/white interior, and made a ping pong table in the back there was also a episode where they redid a trans am for a chick. that i believe they swaped out the motor for a crate engine, and they put a bird decal on the hood, but it didnt turn out like they wanted, so they peeled it off and redid it

Spike replied to Iron Will's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
the revell 71 gtx also comes with it, but on all the kits i know of it is molded to the floor so youll have to cut it out -
