I never thought I'd say a car was too low....

yep, that just does not look right .But then I bet the guys he hangs with thinks its cool LOL.

 

Like dating a fat girl: feels good 'til someone sees you with her. Not that I would know.

 

that looks like shit. I love them low, lower the better normally but that thing is wrong. the smaller front fender openings make it worse..

 

wichita people. they are just weird.

 

I would really like to see a picture of that thing at driving height, you think it looks goofy now????!!!!

 

if they would have stopped before they had to raise the rear 1/4's up to fit the tires, it may have looked ok.but it seems like a lot of work to make it look like a toy car.not my thing at all

 

This car did EXACTLY what it was built to do. It grabbed your attention!! If this had been a more conventional '49 build. How many would have looked closely enough to have payed attention to the adv. on the back window. Looks very well done from what you can see.

 

I kind of like it. It's an 'in-your-face' type of car.

 

here is a local guy here in vancouver that took a '59 buick that was hella rusty on the lower body and kinda did the same as the chevy pictured in this thread

 

Just Dropped Her Down At High Speed And The Sparks Were Spectaular Until They Saw What Happened...

 

I think the buick looks pretty sweet... but about 2 inches too low (imho). I'd finish the bodywork, throw on gloss silver, and a metalflake roof, and pimp it.

 

A picture worth a thousand words !!!

 

fuuggglii as hell

 

i noticed. i also noticed the humps in the tops of the quarters for the tires to clear. stupid, just stupid.

 

That is one of the uglier cars I have ever seen.

WOW that thing is hidious!

 

Sure is easy to bag on another guys ride, isn't it?

 

yes, as a matter of fact it is! expecially when somebody has tried so hard to make it look like shit.

the builder must know jack shit about suspension geometry, look at the ladder bars that point OUT towards the front in the build pics!

 

Yes, it is.
A trend starts...people always try to take it to the next level until it becomes a parody of itself.
NOW is time to move on, before driving such a beast requires an open sunroof.
I put this right up there (or DOWN?) with those rollerskates with 30" rims.

ALL aspects of a vehicle should be in consideration as its built. Focusing all energy towards a single aspect at the expense of the others will result in an abortion such as this.

This car is important though.
It's like a bookend to the question, "how low can you go...(and not look rediculous.)"

 

Yeah, and it screams: Dont take you car to these guys or it will end up looking like this hunk of crap.

 

Looks like Crap!
my 2 cents.

 

I like it. I'd put some '59 rear fender openings on back and radius the fronts.Paint it flat black with lime scallops and go cruisin. Those pics are too close up.I imagine it looks cool going down the road. -Strat.

 

A lot of work to convert a car to a static metal scupture. Obviously not meant to be driven. Makes a nifty laundry hamper or beer cooler.

 

What a lot of wasted time and energy ..coulda been a cool car..

 

So I'm a lousy photochopper, but you get the picture!

 

The other side of extreme. Don't get the point of it.

 

In the build link did it say it has a 4.3 for power? The ride height pic reminds me of that cartoon taxi that has the hot rod for a son!

 

AMEN.!!!!............OLDBEET

 

Well it is an easy way to deal with rusted rockers and other body panels that have been buried in the mud for a while, Them parts is hard to weld in right.

 

I know the guy who built this and I think he should stick to minitrucks.
