No mate...didnt even bother taking it for a test drive. Once I saw the mould under the floor mats...I just had to dump a bucket down the passenger side cowl.....after seeing the contents fall inside I didnt even check the drivers side.

the gutter rails are pop riveted on, the side scoops are stickytaped on, the whole drivers quarter is fried with blisters, the engine is painted with a paintbrush over grease. Overspray on every peice of chrome. Car looks good from 10 feet....but not good enough for my customer...even at $8...I would rather build one.

Looking at a cheap 64 1/2 D code Cali car now. My first coupe resto. Just finish ricks Eleanor, my 68 Gt350 clone and 66 convertible and its all go. Just need to get rid of all these fastback projects in my yard.

Need to fly some of you fellas over here to empty the joint.

:f

It does look good in the pics.

Just shows you really need to see a car before buying.

Cheers,
Frank.

hey Matt,

Maybe update your website with some of the current cars/projects.........?

Been visiting a bit and not a lot seems to change. I know about cars coming and going real quick as you state on the site, but there is stuff on the site that has been there a long time....

Cheers

Gees Matt,

The pics make it look half reasonable .. paint looks a little flat in parts but the hood has a good shine ....

The joys of "selective photography" eh!
