Thank goodness for that.
Well with new paint and a hammer to knock that retarded wing off the outside would be ok.

Cant believe they forgot the curb feelers.

I always get myself into trouble when I see modifieds like these with for sale signs on them. I always want the car, then I start mentally calculating what it's going to take to get it back to stock...and it becomes depressing.

It looks to me like the glass is etched with a hand-held engraving tool. It wouldn't be so bad except that the "artwork" is so poorly done.

Bud likes sharks from the 80's. Maybe this one is for him.

I KNOW I did.

It should say "etching and custom artwork done by my 14 year old nephew while in the throes of a hormonal delirium."

JMHO of course.

Customs rarely appeal to traditionalists but they can have a certain charm...

This one is for sale locally (according to the website where I saw it) and I thought of this thread...
