Default Is "Bad Penny" back together yet????

Is Penny all fixed up yet? She is the hottest swap I have seen yet, and I hope you have her back together again.

Last I saw over on Pro-touring.com she was back together and even made quite a grand appearance at SEMA. Definitely a very nice Camaro.

It did get hit, but is all fixed now.

I remember the first time I saw that car in a magazine (I guess it was PHR). I was at school, walking around the halls with the mag opened to the Bad Penny section, I couldn't keep a grin off my face lol. I was walking up to every car guy saying "Yall look at this damn thing" and of course EVERYONE (even non-car guys/girls) was like "holy ****" haha. The "holy ****" expressed everyone's thoughts about it.
