    While this isn't my particular cup of tea, it is interesting, to say the least:

    I would be afraid to drive it anywhere for fear of getting a parking lot door ding.

    I admire the talent of the airbrush artist, but it just goes to show how difficult it is to make woodgrain look real.

    The interior has its own unique look, too.

    Wow, really interesting. I have an appreciation for the work that went into making this, however... just not what I find attractive. The rear view has an almost cartoonish quality to it. I like the idea of painted woodgrain but seeing it on the car changes my mind immediately, especially when you compare the cost to di-noc.

    Should've stopped when the sides and tailgate were done. The interior and roof are a bit over-the-top (get it? yukyuk!). I like the wheels, with the double red stripes, but not the painted cop caps.

    I'd love to find someone that could paint woodgrain on my Grand Marquis wagon, to replace the two peeling layers of crappy decals.

    I can appreciate the painstaking attention to detail and the skill required to produce this effect.....but I don't really care for it. :2cents:

    I also respect the skill and talent invoved, untill you look at the rear of the wagon, the slapped on tail lites and "dual" licience plate holders/brakets??? The origonal on the bumper and the new one on the tailgate with a third brake lamp???, just is'nt rite. Looking again, the dash pad is 'qwearked' also for lack of a better term.

    It's kinda like one of those, you and your buds start out with a great idea but have a few beer to many and before you know it...there is no turning back.

    Only going by the way it looks in the pics......

    The faux woodgrain artist on this one seemsto have worked at Disneyland at some time.....

    I agree with Hullinger. Really looks somewhat 'cartoonish'.
    The electric blue color doesn't help, either.
    Lot of effort went into it, for sure. Just not my cup of tea..........

    Nice job on the airbrush. I wonder how long it took.
