I don't get it. How much did they spend? Wow.
Myself, I would like to put the $ into making a
nice 4-speed vert, looking like it came from the
factory. Or even a coupe, with A/C of course!

If I ever hit it rich, I'm gonna buy one of those and take it back to stock, while trashing all of that crap right in front of the guy who did all that.

Yeah I know, I'm starting to sound like and old geezer.

I don't think it would look half bad if you got rid of the interior and took the air bags off of it...put a 750 HP BBO in it with a 9" rear, some 4.56 gears and tub it with some 30" slicks. Add a chute on the back and a wheely bar, roll cage, and lexan windows...it would actually look pretty cool as a drag car. But then again, the only thing I would be keeping is the paint

I noticed that too and thought the same thing. What a retard!

I can't stand those big rims on a car. Especially an older muscle car. Anything over 15" is too big for me.

Why is the front suspension high and the back low and whats up with the rear view mirror? That paint job does not look good with those designs on it.

I don't understand it myself, it looks like a fool's car...but it's either got hydraulics or air bags on it that allows it to do that. And I've only seen that type of rearview mirror on a forklift

I think the OTHER quote is more apropos here:

"There is nothing that can't be solved with a suitable amount of explosives!"

Have at it...

I spent hours on hours working my fenders to get rid of surface rust and imperfections. I hunted around just to find a decent set that were not rusted out and then spent hundreds on the fenders themselves.

Seeing the fenders on this car above mutilated just to fit those ridiculous rims, makes me want to puke. Blah
