Sometimes the results aren't quite what the vision looked like.

Re: Speechless
To me it resembles a giant Hot Wheels. Put a fun paint job on it, some classic American Racing wheels and red stripe tires, and a windup key on the back and it will be a real hit at car shows.

Re: Speechless
Holy CRAP (emphasis on the CRAP)!
Lots of time and effort went into that, but why?

Re: Speechless
Super Shiney cleared "patina" makes no sense to me... if you want it protected use a satin or flattened clear. The rest of that work. Would not have been my choice but WOW the work and craftsmanship

Re: Speechless
I bet he doesn't have trouble finding it in a parking lot! Full points for being original, and it is definitely a head turner!

Re: Speechless
Maybe we just need to take a few test drives. See if it grows on us.

Re: Speechless
I don't know what to think. My first car was a '60 T'bird - and that was a '60. I don't know if I should hate it, love it, or want to buy it! Lots of great memories flashed before my eyes...

Re: Speechless
I had an old truck and an old Thunderbird. One day me and the guys were drinking and I found this in the yard the next day, LOL. Actually I give the guy good marks for workmanship.
