    I pulled these from a video I found while looking for ideas for a 59 Buick 4 door that's coming my way.

    This is beautiful! kind of reminds me of a **** Tracy cartoon car. The biggest problem with Frankenstein cars is proportion. I think most guys start off without a perfect plan and the result is less than what they hoped for, so it gets left unfinished or rat rodded.
    Renderings are awesome, and Gary has a great eye for proportion and putting various recognizable elements into something new. However it is easy to adjust scale in a rendering, and body lines don't always fall where the artist drew them. The talented builder has both the eye for design and the skill to m***age the pieces to perfection. The majority of these cars live on shock factor because they are different, but only a few become appreciated cars because the design and execution is just right.
