Arrow NEWS: Hugging a Camaro (PIC OF MULE AND WELBURN!)

You might remember Bob's post last week where he mentioned he had a photo of Ed Welburn hugging his beloved Camaro. Well, Bob and Ed thought their FastLane readers might like to finally see that picture... -Alicia Dorset, blog...

Hmmm, side-view mirror looks a little bigger than the original concept, no??

I'm not digging the paint scheme though!

Mirror is larger and a different shape. We knew the concept's mirrors wouldn't make it to production.

It looks longer than the concept, also, judging by the distance between the front and rear wheels. Either that, or they stretched the wheelbase and kept the overall length very close.

It also looks like the dash layout remains intact.

That would be fantastic . (but I'm not betting on it ... it could just "appear" that way?)

WOW......That didn't take long to come out!!

Can't wait to see more AND in higher resolution!

Mirrors are definately bigger, but executed nicely (in my opinion).

Rear wheel size looks a little more realistic as well.

Ed is the man. It's great to see the passion and ownership he has with his team's designs.

It could just be that it looks that way because of the smaller wheels.

18" on the back?

Anyone see anything resembling a B-pillar on the passenger side? I sure don't, but it may just be that we're dealing with another case of doors-so-long you could use them for wings.
