The bad news. I've been promising my wife I would do a car for her, a convertable at that. (You know where this is leading.) Well, she saw this car and was like "Whooo, that's purty!". Next thing I know she claims it. Then she's like "I want a custom paint job." Pick the color. "I want shiny wheels like yours." Bling Bling installed. "I want the fastest motor." OK.
So all that's left is to wait for the paint to dry...
To Be Continued...

Don't you hate it when promises turn out to be sucky, because you are doing something-ultra special for youreslf and they are right there.
Then they bust out the promise on you.
D'oh.
Oh well, you have plenty of awesome cars!
What kinda paintjob is she asking for?
Post pics, and she needs to post here as well! Under the name Mrs. Bad Company...

Yeah, she got me started in these, so it's the least I can do. I must admit, other than the color, I like this car.

What color do you think? This is a woman we are talking about here. I should have a pic here in a few. She's gone to get some more silver paint so I can paint the mirrors. You know women, they have to have a mirror.

I know that it's pink, but that's what she wanted, and you'll soon learn not to argu with a woman. The seats/interior came out of the 2F&2F Eclipse.

Oh, so what happened to the Eclipse?
A parts body?
Nice conversion of interiors, too.
EDIT: Can I have it if you do't want it? Lol...

Thanks! As long as she likes it, that's what counts. 
The Eclipse body will be used for experimenting. I can always swap the interiors back in and out.

Hey Bad Company, have you done any mods to the Jeep Wrangler or the Cameros (past and present)? I am dying to see a camero as a convertible.

I wa originally going to make one of the Camaros a convertable, but thought that the Firebird would look better. Now that my wife has claimed the Firbird, I'm going to go back and first make one of the Camaros a T-Top to see what it looks like, and then make it a convertable, so keep an eye out for it. I haven't done anything to the Jeep yet, but I'm planning on removing the soft top on it, and adding a roll bar, etc.
