Present the Modified Car as a Prototype to NASCAR

put this panel here which was really nice looking when we did it but this is 30 years later and it's been outside somewhere i don't know where and and it's got plenty rusty but it made the rear window look more like a traditional window of today rather than the round window it had at the time then we put this little uh aero device as they called it a ford we call it a wing put that on the on on the deck lid to trim it out so as you can see it's a it was a major deal we had to cut all this out put all new pieces in and um it's it served its purpose but at the time it was a lot of work and as you can see this portion of the car is no longer uh you know a shock absorber like most of the safety bumpers are nowadays so it could never be sold to the public yeah this looks a lot different than a way a taurus would have come off what they what they're supposed to look like is this right here this indent kind of where the brake lights would have been with the yeah because it would have been down lower yeah but you know it served its purpose at the time and it looked realistic obviously there's not much of a difference between this and every other taurus on the road the one we uh really built it for though where they had a 358 cubic inch ford small block of the v8 at the time it wasn't considered um uh i don't know the uh i guess the straight-up way of doing it but
