    The good thing is if you went flying by a cop they would have a hard time describing the car.

    Same with just about any body modifications on any classic car.

    It is no longer classic.

    I am thinking mass quantities of alcohol and/or illegal drugs were involved.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
