There's probably a lot to be said for the workmanship... But the noise factor has got to be horrendous...

If he'd put a little effort into maintaining the car in the first place, he could have saved himself all the trouble it must have taken to butcher the poor thing like that.

To each his own. It's not like these cars are geting hard to find. At least he has something unique, not another cookie cutter restoration.

I have seen this in person a couple times at National shows & I love it. Very creative & definitely an attention getter. Wasn't that loud either if I remember right.
