Despite how ugly the thing is, it doesn't look very good for a frame-off resto. Plus, did anyone else catch that he said the "interior is stock except for seats", and then down below in the vehicle condition, he says "carpet is new and dash board". Ummm, if this is the guy who rebuilt this thing and he can't even get his facts straight, I don't think I would trust the workmanship. Either that, or he's just flat out dishonest. So how can the interior be all stock with new carpeting and dash?

And then he goes on saying that "all fiberglass work was professionally done as I built a fiberglass airplane". The key word here being "A". Building "A" fiberglass airplane in no way qualifies you to be a professional at altering the body of a car. Now, if he had said that he's been building fiberglass airplanes for that last 30 years, that's a different story.

Just my 2¢.

Ugly color.
If you're gonna build a tilt nose - let it open fully.
I would consider him good at fiberglass, if he actually flew in his plane -
further than the Wright Bros did.

Pass ...

I'm not sure how strict ruling in the US is but if you build your own fiberglass plane here, an inspecor visits you quite often and he has to approve major components. As much as 1 airbubble it's rejected. Okay, might not be a professional but to pull off building a quality fiberglass plane where you model the stuff from foam and build it up w/ mate (uni and bidirectional woven) you are quite handy w/ fiberglass once you have finished it.

still, the car looks like crap and for a frame off that "through" for thw wipers sure looks ugly.

I think he used the vette to practice his skills on before he built the airplane.

I especially like the vericose veins coming out of the side vents. Truly classy! Who paints a pink car, unless you are a Mary Kay cadillac driver. Hell, I don't even see those anymore.
