    I saw this somewhere and thought "god thats ugly" But it stuck in my mind and, although I still think its weird, I kinda dig it. Not sure if I should admit that or not. I think my favorite part is the headers sticking out of the front wheel wells.

    Your right, something catches your eye. Kinda cool in an ugly sort of way. Looks like something you might catch when you go fishing:confused:

    I am usually pretty open minded and like weird stuff, but my opinion is that it is a waste of a perfectly good Comet. It could be saved, but lots of work. I think it is over chopped, and the stock sized back window is just plain ugly. Stance is all off too. But again, it could be saved.

    Proof that evil and ugly are not mutually exclusive.

  18. Reminds me of what my father said about '58 Fords. Dad worked at Ford's Atlanta Assembly Plant 1952-82. He said he always thought '58 Fords looked like a largemouth bass on wheels.

    Can't say I've ever seen anything quite like that. It does kinda pull you in though. Wonder what the view out the windshield is like.

    right click save....
    I love it! now all it needs is an over the top 70's paint job, the kind that uses every trick in the book ,not because it flows, but because you can.
    then build an equally outrageous 60's econoline as a pull/push vehicle.

    You're not alone, from what I can see of it, I like it too, in that strange "dare to be different" kinda way. It just exudes attitude. The front end looks poorly done though.
