Default Not a resto or a resto/mod...

I dunno what to think honestly. Decent workmanship I rekon - but damn, that's butchering at its finest too.

WTF were these people thinking!


*Edit - I need to watch where I am typing instead of Football on TV

the workmanship isnt that great, the sides dont flow right, and those huge paint bubbles on that door = trouble cracked paint = bondo

if done right this could have been a cool car, but it just doesnt look right

It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's alot better than someone leaving an old car behind a barn to just rot. I see that alot....

I saw this car in person at the Dream Cruise. For some reason it doesn't photograph that well. In person the body lines look good.
All in all kind of a neat niche vehicle if you were looking for a cool classic to add in with your fleet of limo's. Right along with your stretched Hummer, and stretched F250 (with Cab over camper on back!).

I think that would fit into the resto/MOD class!!! That's a HUGE mod right there. Not too bad, little bit of "fix me up" and a purdy neat limo, IMO, but on the same hand it does lower the value of the car in my eyes.
