    No, it's got a little TOO MUCH of everything.

    Yuck......

    It would be worth a lot more if it was all stock.

    I'm kind of disappointed that there aren't any Rat Fink stickers or those crying kids leaning up against the car.

    I was on board with just taking all of the widgety crap off of it and making it look half decent until I saw the pictures of the interior and the wood paneling. These are the people that keep the "Accessories" aisle at AutoZone and apparently the wood paneling aisle at Home Depot/Lowes in business.

    For a minute there I tasted purple.:rofl2:
    A little over the top for my taste, maybe a few less extras.

    I'll admit all of that plastic purple crap under the hood on the hoses and wires is a bit much. Plus I don't care for the extra graffics or the color. That can be changed with a couple of rattle cans.
    The wall paneling can be covered with vinyl from Wally World. It would fit in here in Floriduuu but I'd probably get run out of my home town when we move back.:slap:

    Ok, well, I was on board until I saw two things that really turned me off.

    2) The springs underneath ARE BLUE! No comitment to a theme...shish again!

    I'm with the outside for about 95%....

    Very 50's retro custom look.....

    The inside I'm only about 10% with...

    The wood just kills it along with the Pep Boy seat covers....

    I think the problem was too much cow bell.

    I just took a swig of Pepto Bismal and looked again.
    The more I look at the inside the less I like the outside!:rofl2:
    All that's miissing are those trucker girlie silloettes and mud flaps. :slap:
    Maybe a pair of double tipped curb feelers.

    I thought the Starliner models slipped the roof into the trunk? That model can't. The trunk is way too short.

    Sure would like to know where he got those louvres for the hood. I need something to let the new header heat out of the engine compartment during the warm weather, that I can cap off during our snow.
