Hey guys, I was looking through pictures and thought some of you people might find this funny This car is a 1987 Plymouth Sundance which was my boyfriend's ride a couple summers back. It was brown and gold with some chrome trim when he got it. Summer boredom commenced and this is what we did to it over the course of three days with some brushes and paint





The raccoon tail is real... funny story behind that, I'll post it later if anyone is interested, lol. That car burned oil like you wouldn't believe... I miss it! He sold it to a drunk (a friend's uncle)who painted over the flame job to remain less conspicuous... he's constantly reminding my boyfriend he's a crook for selling him a peice of shi*, but it says "Plymouth" right on there! (sorry if any of you are Dodge fans, lol)

That takes talent, lol. Did you seriously outline and paint those flames yourlselves? I want to hear the raccoon tail story!

I did the flames with stencils that I made, painted the gray, and the rims. Daniel did the black and the pin striping (and gray on the roof where I couldnt reach, lol)

As for the raccoon story... you asked so you're gonna get the long explanation (this is my favorite story ever!) A few months before the fateful raccoon night, we were driving around in Daniel's dad's '87 Buick Riviera... we thought it'd be fun to see how fast we could go in reverse in a front wheel drive car with bald tires... well we went about 15 feet before flying into a ditch and leaving some monster skid marks on the way. We got the car out without anybody seeing. A few months later we were headed down the road in the Sundance to spend the night at my uncle's house (keep in mind, this takes place on a tiny island with one road) and we ran over the BIGGEST raccoon I've ever seen in my whole life! Upon closer inspection, the raccoon's body was right exactly between our old tire marks heading into the ditch, lol. But wait! The story gets longer... the next day we borrowed the Riviera again because the Sundance was burning too much oil... we came back to the house a couple hours later to discover that Daniel's father had driven the Sundance down the road, chopped the raccoon's tail off with a hatchet and fastened it the aerial. He then congradulated his son on his first road kill. That's island life for you... lol

WOW lmao..That's terrible! What island is it?

[invadertoast]

Long Island in Nova Scotia, 10 miles long, 2 miles wide, lol

I have an ex-boyfriend who would've given his left ummm thingy for a car like that! He was always after me to put flames on the side of the classic VW bug i was driving at the time.
