Now the better news :lol: The customer decided to have the car shipped to our dealership (Manassas Dodge in Manassas VA) for the PDI and title work. The car will be at our dealership for about a week or so for the public to see it in person.
Of course I got pictures. A lot of pictures! The new owner is very cool and let us fall all over his car to snap pics, lick the paint, whatever
I will post some here, but the entire album can be viewed here---->

I will apologize in advance for the less than stellar quality of these pics. I was using a Nikon S9 point and shoot, but I think they are pretty good for that!
I had to get one with me in it
Some of the coolest things are under the car. Namely all the signatures of the build team scattered throughout the chassis...like these
And the picture is bad, but the rear bumper has signatures and sayings all over it! The customer said now he has to take the bumper off so he can get pictures of them all.
Oh yeah, and the car came with another autographed hood signed by Richard and Kyle Petty. And the box it came in...well, it's just too cool!
^ That's just the lid!
All in all, a very cool experience!
