How many of you guys get to have this much fun at work? I am building a project/ parade car for our city. We have an annual "Buzzard drop" party for new year's eve every year, and this will be a rolling advertisement for it. It is loosely patterned after the 60's era Batmobile, with a Buzzard motif. My own design and Fabrication, and on a very small budget.I started with a deadlined Crown vic police car, it has 24" wheels that were confiscated, it has red led lights in the homemade Turbine housing, and a crown vic radiator fan painted to look like fire. I have added 12" to the body sides, and a IROC Style bottom edge.The wings are fabricated to look like feathers somewhat, and will have front end resembling a dodge Daytona drop nose. Thought you all might get a kick out of it.

Oh sure, not as cool as your job but there is an art to it. Ok, maybe not but I'm not bored. :)
Pretty cool sir.

Bob,
Kick gotten. That is really neat. I'm glad you get to have that kind of fun at work!
