    The frenched headlights look great. And I'd let the painter paint my truck in a heartbeat.

    My granny always told me that if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all.

    I agree, it looks like a damned hovercraft or something Bruce willis would have driven in "The Fifth Element". If you were thinking of investing all the time and money to build something like that, wouldn't it have been wise to do a photoshop first?--------nice headlights though.

    So how do you access the engine? (assuming there is one, of course!)

    I'm not seeing a hood cut. Thought it might be a flip-front, but if so appears it would even involve the windshield & posts.

    WTF ???
     
  18. Id say it is/was a 49 or 50 pontiac....

    Let me try to explain it to you. The whole purpose of customizing is to improve the looks of a car. In other words, the car should look BETTER rather than worse. The best metalworking and painting skills on the planet can't make up for a complete lack of style and taste.

    Another exercise in bad styling, or rather no style at all, which shows any car guy customer where not to go to have his/her car done.

    What fascinates me more is someone paid to have that done...Its stupid period..Thats the 3rd car i've seen with the wheels gone...Is this the new trend?? WTF...
     
  25. its a nash! nashes had the funky wheelwells like that. looks like somebody actually paid money for having it done. it was that guy that robbed everyones 401K and used their money so even if it turned out fucked up looking who cares it wasn't his money in the first place.

    if the next level is spending a ton of money creating something godawful to look at and pretty much undrivable then he is a total success...
