Are they actual windows, or just decals? They almost look fake in that photo.

Lose the skylights and I would drive it proudly.

Looks way wrong with that much channel and no chop.

To each his own, I guess. Any more, every "rat look" turd out there is chopped to the point where you have to lay down to drive it. Lots of cool cars from days gone by were channeled and not chopped.
I like that better than chopped AND channeled myself.

Yep there is no formula for a hot rod. Just long as it looks damn good, as this one does.

I understand what you are saying about too many "over-chopped" cars. But most cars do look better with a subtle chop. Then again, the green car "looks right" and nothing should be changed, Whether the channel is an inch or so less, or possibly it may be an illusion with the white roof, it works - whereas the black one doesnt. Thats what distinguishes a decent car from a great car..... Fun stuff, huh?

^^On the same topic, the VW rod above 'lost it' with the rear end treatment. When I saw the old guy with the 'low trunks' I nearly lost it. :lol:
But it is a bastard and it is gracing these pages.

For some reason, I really like this thing... it's ugly as hell, but looks like it would be just a total kick in the ass to bounce around the hills in.
