I'm sorry - that's just so "butt-ugly" it doesn't qualify for a vette. :U

Re: Oh dear lord... "Radical Custom" (JMV)

Well, thanks for the design hints.
I was wondering how far to go with my project, as the 75 and 70 become
one. I was thinking it would look like a 73 - but now I have something
to look up to. Maybe I will just build the front and rear fenders a bit taller.
Then, I'd somehow get my '81 Mustang Ttops to fit. If only I could get the
4-banger to bolt up from a Nissan pickup that I have rotting in the woods.
Anyone have a Pinto rear hatch that they could donate to my cause ?

Just kidding. I'm not that much of a :conehead .

Clearly the person who did this was not thinking, but instead was acting out a childhood fantasy of believing he/she was destined to be a radical design engineer. Barf-O-rama!
