    I like the creativity that is put into these cars/trucks. It impresses me how they manage to acquire specific random parts put them together and make it work. Not just run but run very well, so well that folks stop and admire them, award them trophies at shows like mine. For whatever reason they seem to bring out the back road, no rules, fun, inspiration in most people.
    But I just have one question. It only has one head light...is that street legal?:huh:

    I agree. It's just the angle.

    Don’t count it out just yet, sometimes it takes a while for him to respond because he’s on infrequently these days.

    I'm a huge fan of factory stock original, but I have to admit I'm liking that 57 a lot. Somebody really talented put that one of a kind wagon together and I'm positive he's darn proud of it as well he should be.
    It's so exaggerated it reminds of an old time member of this forum. I can't remember his name, it might have begun with an E, but he was an amazingly gifted artist and he did these very impressive renderings of long rooves with over emphasized lines and angles and such. Anybody remember him?

    I'd be all for a high performance section. Tom Cotter of Barn Find Hunters found a stock '67 Country Squire with a factory installed 428 4 spd manual. That had to have been high performance if ever there was one.

    It's meant for driving on one-way streets only. :D
