i agree mostly. i love the paint job. if i ever had it in me to be that flashy or for some reason wanted to be noticed id love to have it. the wheels are a far cry from my tasts. they belong in the early 90s. id rather see a modded FI 5.0HO in there than whats in there but thats me. with a paint jod like that IMHO youd need something of an interior to go with it. it was dissapointing looking in to the interior of that thing. i dont mean painting the plastic ricer colors or piping it out or covering everything with froggin fabric. something tastefull. if i was gonna buy it all id use is the body.

i deffinetly love the hood though. if fit was a little better anyway. i wouldnt realy want a lift off either. but its deffinetly got the look i want if i cant get my engine to fit under the TC hood.

i usually cant stand it when a whole (with the acception of the 04 mystichrome cobra) car is painted in the chrome illusion paint but i like it as an accent. i think the flames look sweet...for a show car anyway. too loud for a daily driver. id rather like to see i nice, cleanly done up car. cant argue its an eyecatcher.

If it were me, I would spend that $3,000 he spent on a paint job on suspension upgrades, a 5-lug conversion, a fuel injected 5.0HO with upgraded cam, heads, etc, and maybe some light interior customization.  Oh, and better wheels.  Then I would worry about the paint.

they did half ass the car, they spent 3,000 dollars on paint, did an engine swap, put some wheels on it...but didnt spend 20 bucks to rattle can the engine bay? or even use some of the left over paint?

no thanks
It's Gumby's fault.

IMO a change in wheels and suspension would make this a nice car. Maybe 18" 5 lug bullits on a maximum motorsport suspension. Its allllmoooost there, just looks like he ran out of $$$ after the paint job
