Steve, what booth will Bad Penny be at when she is in Vegas?
I have no idea if you can pull the car out for the night while SEMA is going on, but if you can, you should drive to my families place on Lake Mead. The road there is epic; perfect twisty road, with the turns slanted. Not to mention the scenery is perfect to take pics. It's about 30 to 40 minutes from the strip.
Just thought I would let you know.

Best Of Show Coachworks hard at work...
From the back:
Yah know I started looking at Penny, and was like...damn those wheels look horrible. Then I remembered the wheels you usually have on there and came to my senses that those were just put on there so you didn't mess up the good ones.
Great looking car man. Have to admit. #1 First gen in my book...hands down!
