Steve,
Back in the day, I drove a 1980 Checker Limo which is like the cab we all know that is basically a car built on top of a Chevy pickup chassis. The Checker limo was a very limited production vehicle and perhaps only a few hundred were ever made. The wheelbase was a foot longer than a Checker cab, the jump seats where bench style, and my limo had nine passenger seating capacity.
Now imagine a supersized extra long Checker cab with a garish giant chrome grill, dark blue paint, a black vinyl top and opera windows. This was not a custom car and came from the manufacturer rigged as such. The limo was kinda fugly, but it also turned heads because it was so strange and unusual. I miss this beast and this was one of my favorite "art cars." What fuction does a vinyl top or opera window perform except to add personality, be loud, or provoke and annoy people?
Recently I ordered this structural metal filled epoxy called A4 Metalset. Basically this is a Mil-Spec adhesive that is used to seal and structurally glue an airplane together. Funny thing is that one part of this two part epoxy smells exactly like peanut butter. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.
