  5. It is ugly, but the ugly could be removed pretty easily. It wouldn't take much to make it really cool.

    The hours spent on just getting the doors to hinge from the back side . I bet many . Very impressive. The body is straight , smooth and clean. Maybe tuck the front bumper closer to the body of the car . Would be the only thing I’d suggest. But the owner didn’t build it to suit me . I’d drive it but I’m too tall to fit behind the wheel.

  8. LOL! Maybe ugly is a little harsh. My first gut reaction. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The overall shape/form is not pleasing to MY discerning eye. BUT builder pleased HIMSELF!! As it should be,

    When building a car, everybody has a budget. And everybody has a skill level limitation at which work can be done. If you eliminated those two things. Along with parts available and the time factor. You still couldn`t please everybody.

    I'm really surprised about the mismatch of the trim on this car...the rest of it looks nicely done...but as Stanlow69 just said "And everybody has a skill level limitation at which work can be done." Maybe it was a rush job to get the trim on before the WCK event -I'm just guessing here, but it needs to be fixed...!!!

    It would cost another thousand dollars, at the least. More like 2 thousand. Still, that might be low. Then would the paint match. So more panel blending. And who knows how long it would be tied up in a shop. So, leave the doors open a bit with the hood slightly opened as well. Problem fixed.

  24. Not this fella.
    I got my own crap to fix. This is just about how cars where I live are customized. Tack and float.
    But a roof skin would help.
