    actually, it's pretty well proportioned! it might be hard to take it past this stage of completion, but i like it! better than the 4wd el camino in the background...:D

    yes, no, yes, no, well maybe....

    for what it is .its not that bad. i think if he did something with the quarter glass it would look a little better maybe smaller glass or a chop top ..something with the roof makes it look funny.someone photo chop the roof ..
     
  6. I've got a buddy that did a similar thing with '95 Mark VIII, he put '57 DeSoto skin on it. I think it looks pretty good

    looks like the 57 they used was a 4 door, there's a split in the trim.

    Actually, as ridiculous as it is, I kinda like it for some strange reason.

    I have to agree with the "Take the top off" comments.

    If you chopped the whole roof off and either chopped the windshield a bit I think it would work pretty good. BUT Nova was a unibody so it would have to be reinforced somehow.

    I remember seeing this on the Westside of Cincinnati back in the 90's. It was a decent 40-footer. Let's just say it was in a part of town that you didn't want to stray to far from your car.
    I think it use to run Cragers and lake pipes and if memory serves me right, a vinyl top and the black paint had some shine to it.
    I always thought it had potential after you straighten out the front end design. Something to run around town in and have some fun with.
    When it was at the Pumpkin Run, I think they were asking $1500, which was WAY to much.
