Newest GRM Project car

i suggest a chin spoiler in the shape of a beard, a top hat for the roof, and it can be the Abraham Lincoln. yes, there's a reason i haven't themed a car since my penske camaro wannabe corvair back in '04.

Fake blower, couple of spoilers and some zoomies: Mad Max. The only question is who dresses up as Lord Humungous?

yea, I was voting for Lincolns in a Lincoln.

Paint it green with the number 5 on the side...
Abe Lincoln, 5 Dollar Bill

sweeeet. I like it because I know that if I can home with it my wife would kick me out of bed. That makes it a winner.

+1, and get a horn that plays famous Abe Lincoln quotes

I think this is becoming a bit too silly.

You mean like ripping it all out and starting from scratch?

Ok, Boss, I mean Margie- what do you REALLY think?

(the next side question- what form of amatuer motorsports has GRM NOT done, now? There can't be many left)

I almost said "Drifting," but then i remembered their hilarious illegal Corolla. Whatever happened to that thing? That car was amazing and awesome.

I think it's silly. And kind of cool. I want to cover it with fur, add a tail and call it a Lincoon, but that also has some extremely negative connotations I'd rather avoid. So I'm okay with Lincolns in a Lincoln.

Margie

I think you should cover it in Lincoln Logs complete with functioning chimney.

Also, did you say, "Abe Lincoln?"

Get the whole crew to dress as John Wilkes Booth and do your best to kill it.

Another vote for this. I've seen bigger tubes in my orange juice.

paint it like Pennies...it's more Grassroots than them fancy $5 billfolds!

I have already lobbied for the Abe Lincoln thing. Hopefully no one shows up with a giant John Wilkes Booth.

As I was explaining the virtues of this wonder car to Margie when she first laid eyes on it, she looked at me and said, yeah, yeah, your are a freaking genius. I don't think she really meant it.

The entire cage has to go, it is made from poorly bent muffler tubing. Other than changing the alignment, getting drunk and coming up with a theme, the car looks to be pretty much ready to go. It came with six newish Kenda matching tires and wheels, and a second new window net. It has a poorly mounted, very small fuel cell. Anyone need this for a Challenge car. We need a 15 gallon tank, not a five gallon tank.

As for the trailer, it will go on RacingJunk.com on Monday and be put in front of our office for sale. First $600 and you can haul mulch, scrap, cars or whatever you want with it.

I would trade something for it, but not a Firebird shell.

Stock brakes?

I like all the Lincoln ideas. I was thinking along Carson's line (Lincoln Logs) and doing it up with a wood theme. "Got Wood?" down the side. Dress like lumberjacks. You could go all cartoony on the rear fenders with Yogi and Boo-boo or Woody Woodpecker. That would probably be a bit much with the cartoons.

It would be cool if you could make it re-convertable to circle-track specs. I assume ya'll have some short dirt tracks down there. You can edumacate us all on dirt-tracking, too.

Totally

So that cage passed tech some where? Really? I'm guessing there was no cage rule.

really? they've got fur and tails down your way? i'm so motherberkeleying sick of living in fear of connotations. perhaps we should change the animal's name to racafricanamerican.
