My wife thinks I'm a fanatic because I take a nap in the afternoon in the garage with my cars. What do you think? Need help,
Bill

Congratulations. You've got the bug.

My only advice is to have a display sign made...a poster-sized mounted description of your Kat, i.e. HP, 1/4 mile time, stereo wattage, how many were made, etc.

I had this done at my local Kinko's (24-hour copy and fax place) for about $80, and it really added to the "presentation" of the car.

Good luck. Our show season is several months away .

Laddie kindly has helped with suggestions on the showboard and presentation. You should check out his post from the New Orleans show a couple weeks ago. Click for the thread.

Since the Viper paint scheme is patterned after the Daytona race cars, I'm using a racing theme with red, black, and white as the primary colors and checkered flag tape for the barrier.

I had the back wheels off last weekend and will clean the fronts later today. It's amazing the amount of brake dust that accumulates after a couple track days. Only other tips I'll add is Zaino and Simple Green.

Good luck. I'm not worried about winning trophies, I just don't want to embarrass my car.

Here's something that I was thinking about but never got around to doing. I think that the investment of time and very little money would make a major impact in demonstrating the uniqueness of the Prowler.

There was quite a bit of discussion a while back over the original prowler patents. Someone was marketing them on a nice paper, and one of our members, We Prowl, told how to do it yourself. Here's part of one prior post that can be found at:

Just go to the Patent and Trademark Office website

and type in the Patent Numbers D353564 and D355397. Click on the result and then view "images" (in red at the top of the page).
Printing them requires a TIFF plug-in see: http://www.uspto.gov/patft/images.htm for help in getting free software to do this.

With several of these pages and diagrams mounted on display boards around the prowler, you would certainly make the statement that this is the Number 1 car.

The typical Cameros, Mustangs, GTO's and etc. can't claim that. Heck, Corvette makes twice that many in a typical year.
