We've had it actually! My Wife and I were at a small cruise yesterday and in the 2 hours there were mistaken for a PINTO 3 times.
YUCH!
This is happening way to much now and is getting annoying.
So I need your opinions on some graphics I put on.

I wanted to be subtle, but I don't think most of these morons on the street would get it.

Well..... here they are.

Well, I don't think anyone should confuse us with a pinto again.
It's quite legible even at 50 feet.

Unless they're illiterate.
I wanted to keep it simple and somewhat tastefull.
I got them in silver and they do reflect the light a bit.
It was that or maybe orange.
And if I get tired of them, they were only $34.99 total.
Let me know what ya think.

Thanks!

I'd also like to thank Bill Spangler and his bro Glenn for the frame work.
Harley Robertson and his son Harley JR for the body work & paint.
My Dad Russ, for the influence and the deal on the front end parts.
My Wife Jolyn for encouraging me to continue on this project.
And I Thank GOD for making this all possible.
A Special Thanks to TOOTEE, builder of "The Original FRANKENVEGA" for leting me use the name.

I AM DEEPLY IMPRESSED WITH THE STYLE AND CREATIVITY, I JUST INHERITED A 1971 VEGA AND BY READING YOUR ARTICLES AND CHECKING OUT YOUR RIDE HAS GIVEN ME SOME INSPIRATION.
