What do you guys think of this job?

Kinda funky--looks like it gave birth to this chopped Jet that has been for sale forever in California:

    Wish there was a better view of the front and back, I like the Caddy nose bullets and would like to see how the back was done. But, the chop and drop is a little much for my taste.

    Agreed....would love to get up close and personal with this and see how it was done, but I feel the same.....the chop is a little on the extreme side. BUT I love how low it is!!! What's the big black thing on the hood?? Is that just paint, or some kind of scoop??

    I like it. Bumpers look great on this car. I think that the Cordoba headlamp rings are a bit large though, gives it an owl look. Something's up with the hood though, wrong hood and grille mixture. It would be fun to finish.

    - Fun to finsh yes, but 18K starting bid- ouch. Another 20K you could have a 25K car... Looks like alot of stuff needs to be finsihed (interior glass, paint, chrome etc)

    Agreed, way too much for an unfinshed car. It's not even on a Hudson frame.
