You guys are going to think I've lost it.

With the exception of the wheels,tires and red on the door panels...I kinda like this one.
I'm a sucker for the diamond tuck interiors.

I do have 2 cars and my ultimate goal is to have one car factory stock looking and the second will be modified and it will have some sort of old school diamond tuck interior.

It is a well done car - I can agree to that. Guess it just evokes the feeling of a bordello - especially parts of the interior. It is just well I guess gaudy. I don't mind showy - but guady? Nah!

I appreciate the custom touches, but I agree with the gaudy statement. Red/black interior could be nice but the red should accent not overpower.

I think this one was built for Hershel Walker.

I'm all for customized cars, but the interior is half assed.

That console I liked until I zoomed in on it.
It is done horribly by someone with no skills.

I definitely want to know where he got his headrests done tho.
I love those.

I agree that the exterior looks kind of cool, but I can't bear to look at interior, specially the door panels. The paint I like if you get rid of the teardrop along the front of rear fenders.

I kind of like it, but some of the details, plus the fact it's a 442 and not a Cutlass, bothers me.

Paint is so-so, colors nice, but interior is overdone.
Still haven't seen someone use the fender peak into the roof curve for a 2-tone, though.

I think the "442" inside the trunk are house numbers from Home Depot. Awesome.

The rims could be a tad bit smaller. I like the paint and the wheels not my cup of teas but it's tasteful. The interior could be diffrent but they cant all be winners .

Take away the swoosh, tone down the interior and stereo a little, and shrink the wheels down to at least 20" and I would drive it.
