I wish he had used original looking wheels and not lowered it. A great sleeper.

I'd rather hav a car like that you can enjoy than have anthor life's worry.

I have been considering doing the faux patina look to my car much like the classix Chevy truck on the Trucks T.V. show. After seeing that I am a little closer to doing it.

That wagon has been in Hotrod mag a while back...super cool car none the less. I would rather have a car that looks "good" then a super nice show car. I've been there with the big dollar paint on cars...and I was always concerned about chips, scratches etc.

Personaly it's not worth it to me...rather have a car I can get in and go, who cares if it hasn't been washed, waxed or dusted off in the last 2 months...it's getting out and enjoying the cars that make it all worth while for me.

Big Bucks, no budget limitations, pros doing the work=great results. David Freiberger Editor of Hot Rod, did a feature and drive with it. I will say He is a real hands on Guy, with many projects..
