The copier/owner should be required to run the OEM, nasty, amber side marker lights on their side panels,,,so we can tell 'em apart on the road.

What about everything else beyond the paint scheme? Dean has done an incredible job in the 5.0 plus all the extras not detailed here?

I have not seen anyone else take on challenges like this beyond Plymouth coming out with this Prowler design?

I wonder why Dean has never been appreciated around here. I have never quite figured it out beyond this paint scenario??

If it was any other Prowler I would dare to say most of you would say ... OH, AHHH, AWESOME, YOUR'RE THE MAN!!..

It is almost like those pictures with a beautiful woman and a beautiful car. Most of us men would primarily remember more of the female than the vehicle.

Dan, I'm really surprised that you would bring this topic back up and go to the defense of one who obviously took the representation of Sno Man's car to profit from it. Did you read the email Tom posted? Its here in this Thread, maybe you should take some more time and read it again. Then maybe you'll understand why "Dean has never been appreciated around here"...
But you are right about one thing, "all we guys only see the paint scheme".
You can mark me in TOTAL agreement with lawndog, Dave Mills and ALLEY CAT.

I cannot believe that someone, anyone, even a hypocrite like you would put this post online only to incite even more problems than we've already had over this car.
This post is way over the line for anything that should be considered good for this website.

Mike K,

This post and any more like it should be taken down.

Ok, I will drop the subject. I just felt beyond the paint job many things were very different but oh well.

Larry Lord,

Interesting view point you have of me "hypocrite like you". You sure have it in for me don't you!

I think you and I should have lunch and chat. Posting like this behind a keyboard at times can be very unproductive.

If things don't change, I will be in Fullerton California next month, would you be willing to hook up for lunch and chat? I will pay?

Hey Buddy,

Yes, I have finally read it.

I figured a side by side comparison would be interesting to see.

I see this is not the case.

Well, the way the post is going I guess I need to be banned.

I finally became a trouble maker. I guess this stuff is contagious.

This is an intersting situation.

Bob......that's what they say, but in my opinion it's just copying. When I first had my louvered side panels done for my Candy Car we had three sets done. If I could have afforded it at the time, I would have kept all three. However, we sold two sets.....one to Marc Scarbeary and the other to Larry Bell. When people saw them, lots of them expressed how much they liked them and "were there anymore?". As I explained back then......Pete Chapouris and I specifically designed them for my car. We spent a year working on the design and how we were going to do them, so I have always felt it was "our" design. Now, I was flattered that everyone liked them.....but I did them to make my car unique to me.......not everyone else. Because we CHOSE to sell the other two sets, obviously there were two more cars with the same louvers. Marc's car (because of his engine) has a totally different look than mine even with the panels. Larry Bell put them on his yellow car. I may be wrong, but I remember it being stated that he put them on his yellow cat instead of his Candy Red in deference to mine...and I really appreciated that.

Could I stop anyone from copying? No. Was I the first to do louvers? No.........but I did my own type of louvers and design........copied no one. We all want our cars to be unique to ourselves.......what fun is it to modify your car for yourself and other people modify to look just like yours? These cars all started out exactly the same...modifying was done to be unique and different to each individual owner.

I'm all for modifications, but be creative and come up with your own design/idea.
