Hey man, I've had people tell me the spacetruck looked better before I hacked it up. Some dude even came up to my wife at the pileup and she said he was almost in tears because I cut up a perfectly good buick. Fuck 'em. Where's Ernie in those pictures?
Here's my take: He took a car and took away all of the value that the more common masses might have seen - Good bright work, nice yellow paint, etc... And he took this $$$ hit just to have the car "his way". I dig it.
Ryan...thats it in a nutshell. I sold all the stuff that wasn't me and used the $ to make it the way I wanted it. And thanks again to everyone for the props. I wasn't looking for a pat on the back. I just felt I could finally contribute something other than smart comments.
quick transformation too, seems like just a couple months??? 'takes me YEARS to get anything done! I do like your version alot better! Paul
Ya know, I think that the wheel/tire thing provoked most of the negative response. To me, it has a "drag strip refugee" look, like ya just yanked the street tires and put on the racing slicks for a couple of quick passes. Way cool. Kinky6
