They look like wagon taillights and quarter panels.

I saw blo-bac at some Street Machine Nats way back (89?). I know I was still wearing ice-wash denim and pastel Tee-shirts... Some pieces of work in that ute! You could stand and look at it for ages and just see new shapes and features and add-ons. It was a vehicle that looked as good in the flesh as it did in the magazine. The paint was wild. Deep and mirror-like with ghost writing through it. A big trend around then was crazy graphics like paint splatter and heart-beat lines and jelly-beans (?...was that Myers mustang ?). But BBac came out big black and mean in a different way. I think it got a paint job later to be silver and it lost a motor. But the utes have always done well amongst the Street Machiners. Like Burchers purple WB (from Orange NSW) and that tidy clean light blue number (HZ?) in the late 90's. Have any pannos been up there in the Street Machine awards ?? I can't think of any.
But the 'over the top because i can' award goes to....
Rod Hadfield....27litres of insanity!!!

Hell yeah it is!!!Originally Posted by V6HQUTE
The one with the jellybean graphics, i think was Chic Henry's white Camaro.
that is nuts, the number plates are there just for the looks?, surely that couldnt be registered, thats ausome
Im pretty sure it was built to be registered but whether it did or not, im not sure!! Its a hell of a build either way
It's fully street registered as far as I know. No doubt with some slight stretching of some ADR's and a sympathetic friend at the RTA. There's no doubting that Hadfield is a master craftsman though, and that car probably exceeds a lot of ADR's by a country mile.

IIRC ... Jay Leno paid a cool million for it!!!! At least its in a good place amongst his other vehicles!!
