Bengals Bug: Bengals’ fans build ultimate team car

Gary Morrison likes the Cincinnati Bengals. He also likes working on cars.
And like an Andy Dalton pass to A.J. Green, it seemed like the perfect connection.
Morrison — who operates Gold Street Muffler and Automotive Repair in Ironton — took his love of the Bengals an extra yard or two as he an a friend modified a Volkswagen bug into a Bengals’ fan car.
“We pulled it out of a building and got carried away with it,” said Morrison.
The car was orange but they gave it another coat of paint. Morrison’s friend Darren Allen painted a Bengals’ tiger head and the “Cincinnati Bengals” name on the doors. They took vinyl and cut out tiger stripes and taped them to the car.
“We worked on it for about a month in our spare time,” said Morrison.
