Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.

Why would anyone, anywhere think '57 Chevy fins and a Studebaker-ish nose thingy would "improve" the looks of a classic Ghia. Why, why, why???

You know not everything that rolls off a manufacturing line is a classic and even some things that might be might not be worth stock resurection, might be better employed as a canvas for imagination or whimsy. This forum is a celebration of attempts however misguided, poorly wrought or gloriously realized. I like this one, it's fun and light, makes folks smile and wonder, lifts the spirit and steps fully outside the lines of conformity. I'd roll it with pride.

on the other hand, not everything that rolls out of people's imagination is fun an light an makes people smile. sometimes it's heavy and sad and makes people cry for it is clearly a waste of energy, money, talent, and cars that could have been something better had them just been in different hands.

If the builder has a sense of humor, I am good with it...Looks like pretty nice work and if it was all done in fun, sure, why not.
