Its ok. Paint is not my taste. Think that the stripe should have followed the angle of the window when going up, rims Blah, exhaust tips should be farther back. I still like the idea just not the execution

I'd have to agree but for a fox box its the best I've seen so far.

I'd have to give the execution a C-
Lot's of silly hot-rodder stuff going on there that just decreases the appeal.

Seems to be a throwback to 1978....

If we were in 1982 right now that thing would make the cover of Hot Rod as they were into this sort of thing.

Yeah not really my taste but Im just blown away by the craftsmanship...like the sheetmetal in the engine bay, the cleanliness naturally, just all looks really fresh etc. Price seems really really fair for that. And its a 302 and FIVE SPEED :D :evilgrin:

Fixed.

The only thing I would keep from that car would be the shell and the trans....everything else I would shiznitcan.

the only thing i didn't like, was the stripe. it makes the car look cheap. they should have left the stripe off completely.
