What you quoted was post no 28 and the only really negative post he had received Up until then, there were nothing but accolades for that car and people bending over backwards posting up scans of old articles.......... |

Only seen pics of it and alot of people still say it had the straightest black paint job they have ever seen. So must of been very impressive. Can anyone scrape up a pic for us?

strangely enough i was watching the "history of summernats `88 - `07" dvd today and there was a bit about 4MYLYN on there.
they were saying that it had the best bodywork on a black car they have ever seen. and about it being stolen. i can remember it at the summernats and bill also brought it to Kandos for the first main street mania show we held there. he seemed like a great bloke and the car was the star of the show. that wasnt long before it went missing.

That car was a piece of art. Just from that picture above you can see the perfect panel spacings from the bonnet up the cowl and fenders.
I didn't know it was stolen and scrapped tho. can't believe someone could do that.

I know the guy that painted the car. He did my parents in law Mustang. He was devasted when it got stolen, and he didn't even own it.
