off topic Firebird Rocket Car - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I saw this at Auto Zone on Harry Hines and Walnut Hill. I think the guy works there because I see it there all time but it is driven daily. I had to show it yall for the fabwork. The guy actually did some pretty decent sheet metal fabing but he needs to find another outlet for his expertise. What do the words on the rear quarter mean? There is actually an electric fan behind the hubcap on hood. Very strange looking bird.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news ... but that is not "pretty decent fabwork" ... sorry, but someone had to say it.
