    Sun Prairie is just NE of Madison, will I see a mysterious Sea Monster Amphizilla siting on Lake Mendota?

    Awesome, panel fit looks really good. That front end is a natural. Can't wait to see it in person.

    HEY TOM! I just wanted to let you know that I was informed by somebody here that an Amphicar could not be a hotrod! So what the hell are you thinking? Are you some kind of non-conformist visionary or something? :eek: Geez, what will all the people here who demand you be exactly like them... different from everybody else as long as you are just like them, ya know...different. Oh wait how can that be? They'll be an *** telling you not to be like them, an ***. Humf?

    Before you get PM'd by the same rogue toddler hiding behind his keyboard in thier pink footie PJs like I did, you should know be aware of the rulez! :rolleyes:

    Really Tom, I have always loved your vision and cherished your friendship! I can't wait to see Amphi-Baker swimmin'! Are you going to have the grills in place? You could have them airbrushed on or a vinyl applique to look like they are still there. If your really ambitious you could create a recess for them so it's still water tight. That front clip sure looks better installed on your Finzilla than it did mocked up on mine. That Amphi has the bodywork done now, I just need to re***emble her. As you know, she was a rusty beast! I lost my pics of it at your house. Could you send me what you have?

    I have been collecting the parts to do my custom Amphi for years. I think I'm gonna use my Amphicar from "Pontiac Moon" as the base. Ya think Ted Dansen would care? ;) I wish I had a place save up the time to actually do the work. MMMM, someday...

    Way cool!!! I think it would look great with or without grills. I want a bullet nose car and thought about the light behind the bullet. I'm sure someone has done it before and would like to see a pic. I love the color, and didn't know Amphicars came as hardtops. Would be good for a shark theme considering it's for water and the Stude is designed after a plane which could have the shark painted on.

    OK, that Squba thing just looks like someone crashed a Lotus into the lake and snapped some shots on the way down. How about one you haven't got to hold your breath in while driving?

    I've always thought a customized amphi would be cool, never thought I'd actually see one. This is cooler than I thought it would be. Well done sir!

    OK, so NEXT you gotta get it to do the quarter in low 12's, just before launching itself off the pier into the lake! THAT would be some **** Evel Kneivel would do. 'Course, he had also broken every bone in his body at one time or another. Hmmmm. I'd just stick with the wicked-cool customization, bro! Looks sweet! Can't wait to see this when it's done. Could call it the "Stu-ba Tank"!
