Biotex Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 A very popular magazine commisioned me recently to purchase, pickup paint, and then deliver a Dodge Charger for an art display. I wasn't allowed to talk about it until now that it is public. This AM, I delivered the Charger. Here it is still on my trailer: Here is where I dumped it: And it will be lifted up on the top of the concrete pedestal: The plan is to weld the axle to the four metal plates you can see on top of the concrete. Pretty cool project. There is supposedly a matching Charger in N.Y. for a photo shoot. Look for it in a future issue...
shawn Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 .......a future issue of what? hate to see that charger desecrated but it does look like a cool display in the makings.
GirsMJ86 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Yup, sounds like a waste of a nice charger. But I'll be watching for it.
Biotex Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 They paid to have a set of brand new Firestones installed on new rims. We filled the tires with foam so they won't go flat over time. I'm told the car is up, and the "art" exhibit is finished. I'll have to take a drive and check it out soon. The coolest thing was the check they sent had a bunny ears logo on it. I would have preferred a centerfold, but that didn't happen...
Biotex Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Yup, sounds like a waste of a nice charger. But I'll be watching for it. It only has a 318 2bbl/A904 inside. Lots of rust too. The interior has no dash. It is inside the trunk though. They are "supposed" to call me after a year and give it to me.

Biotex Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks for posting that link. I would have missed it for sure.
AMCJeepMJ Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Looks like you may be getting that Charger back sooner than you think: http://www.elpasotimes.com/newupdated/ci_23591138/officials-order-removal-giant-neon-playboy-bunny-sculpture
ParadiseMJ Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I just saw this on the national news...recognized your Charger right off
Biotex Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 They wanted attention. Be careful what you wish for.

SW86 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 sounds like they just need to change the bunny a bit so its not a trademarked icon. of course everyone will still know whats up being playboy has been around forever
Alexia Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 It says the sign and supporting structure. Does that mean they can leave the concrete block and car? Honestly, I think that would be a cool spot to pull over, rest, take a few pictures, and then head off again.
AMCJeepMJ Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 The display is kaput: http://jalopnik.com/the-playboy-statue-that-pissed-off-an-artsy-texas-town-1477237475
