Garrett, Yellow Krylon + Woodheads = OME.
Yellow Krylon + Woodheads + blue boots from Rancho = Bilsteins.

FWIW, I have a little stock of yellow Krylon, of a more modest hue, though. Also, plenty of stickers of nearly any aftermarket vendor - enough to build a "Perfect Discovery."

Just sold for $148k in Scottsdale according to the NYTimes. I got to drive it when I worked on the show - lots of Bondo there, no Hemi...

sounds like they got a GREAAAAT deal then. Barrett Jackson is a trip - lots to drink and LOTS to see (the cars ain't bad either).

you worked on Don Johnson's show? Were you Tubbs' stand-in? (I know, different show...)

Woah!,

You mean to tell me that's not actually a 71 'Cuda running a Hemi? Damn, that's blasphemy. Don Johnson is the man, how could he settle for any less?

Cheers,

They built four for the show in a few weeks time from parts everywhere and never could afford a true Hemi set-up. We had a jump, tow, beauty-pass and park vehicle on the show. The transportation dept. guys had their hands full keeping them up and running. I think I have a picture here somewhere...

Beauty-pass (DJ's personal ride) up front methinks.

There are still wood heads on the truck. There are Rovertym springs and OME springs and some spacers here and there. Nothing real exotic......

Seriously? you are still running the Woodheads? Are they different ones than the ones that come stock because I would figure with all the shit you do they would get beat pretty fast. When I got my disco from some doctor who only put 40K miles on it just driving it around town 3 of my 4 woodheads were beat to the point that they didn't really do anything.
