For me it's a love, hate thing. After going to car shows and rod runs for so many years it gets to be like if you have seen one you've seen them all. I like it when someone can come up with something different and fad it himself. I can't do that and have a lot of respect for those that do. With that said I'm back to the love, hate thing.

For some twisted reason, I like the concept. Execution sucks but the idea is sort of cool.

Actually a pretty cool looking job he did. Not for everyone, but I'll give him credit for the work he did. And for that price, could be a fun car to drive.

I bet that thing handles like its on rails. Lightweight and really stiff suspension. Probably rides worse than a 84 Z51 with blown shocks however.
