Not a big fan of the colors they chose because I tend to go for brighter colors but the car looks great. For the money put into that build they could have bought a real SWC but as a 66 restomod owner I understand why some of us choose to go that route.

As some of my ancestors would say: Ugg Lee. Huge bloomers are not my thing.

Agree. Shoving split windows onto every year custom is so played out.

For all that work and expense, 3150# still seems a bit on the heavy side.
