Geez. I'm a hot rodder/customizer at heart, and by profession. But, the more modified cars I see, the more I appreciate a stock car. Some peoples only taste is in their mouth.

I quite like it.

The style and stance, not the colour nor the roof.

I reckon this would be exactly what a retro new model A would look like.

Look at the PT chrysler and the mini and the fiat 500 etc.

yea theres alot of those people out there who have more money than brain cells...i always prefer an original driver, or stock restored car over a hot rod any day. I dont mind period correct speed parts though. Its the cookie cutter Chevy 350 engine 350 trans ford 9" rear end with a 80's gm steering column combo I see slapped in everything and it gets old. Where's the rare or imaginative creative ideas?

Sometimes "Bullshit and Brilliance" conflict with each other. In this case, even bullshitting that I love this monstrosity would conflict with my brilliance. ;)

It has the wrong front bumper, should have a 1930.

Wow, no one mentioned the headlight bar either. That is a fairly rare piece.

The rest is just pieces. While this car does not do anything for me, if the owner uses it and enjoys it, then maybe it is ok. Just realize, I am not seeing anything about this car that would ever keep it from being returned to a restored Roadster. Much easier to fix this one than a chopped Coupe.

Not my cup of tea but it's not my car. I'm sure the owner loves it and that is what it's all about. More power to him/her. I hear a lot of people diss the 350/350 swap as 'just like everyone else' on hot rod sites but find it odd to hear it here where, pretty much every car runs the stock "cookie cutter" drivetrain. How is it that THAT isn't "getting old"?. The only thing that tends to bother me is when someone buys a very solid survivour or even a well restored car and proceeds to make a "rat rod" out of it. IMO there are plenty of cars in the bush and farmers fields for that but still, you buy it, your free to do as you please. None of this hobby should be about pleasing or impressing others. It's what makes YOU happy. Here's a little story that is relevant to this thread. I also am on a muzzleloader builders forum. One day, someone finds a pic on line of a "fantasy" rifle that someone has built. It's irked most of the purists on the site and, much like this thread, elicited a flurry of negative remarks. I decided to try something so I posted that, they should direct their comments directly to the builder as he was a member of the forum. You should have seen the apologies and backpedaling. I git a PM from a moderator (who also had dissed the rifle) asking for the forum moniker of the maker so he could personally apologize. I told him I had no idea who made the rifle , was just making a point. He got the point. Just sayin'

Bill, post #11: "I LIKE IT!--Should have been BLACK, though."
-------------------------

As a 'Hot Rod', I must say, although modern and not '40s, '50s retro., I DO like it ! But painted all black would have been my color choice.

And it DOES remind me of my air-cooled '69 Volkswagen.

Seems like this car has popped up recently somewhere.If it is the one I'm thinking of it is all glass,not steel.

I was thinking it might be glass, but wasn't sure. I did notice the rare light bar though and wondered how that went to use with a bunch of repro parts. :confused:
Wonder if any other rare parts are being used?
