Even if you're not a V8 person, you gotta love this car. Ummm.... no I don't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I agree that a lot of work went into this car, and that it's unique, but I don't really care for the style of it(Just my opinion). I also don't think you can tell that it's been technically thought out and well engineered because there's a lot of well-done bodywork and some expensive bolt on parts. I mean, the suspension seems to be a good choice, but he doesn't even mention it in the ad. What does that tell you? I'm not saying it necessarily wasn't well engineered, but I don't think you can tell without looking it over in person or, even better, working on it. More importantly, it seems unfair to accuse people of doing a "half-assed" conversion because they don't have the money to make it look as flashy as this one. It doesn't mean their fabrication and design of any custom parts is any lower quality. My $.02. Direct your irate comments this way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Mark D. |

I also don't think you can tell that it's been technically thought out and well engineered because there's a lot of well-done bodywork and some expensive bolt on parts. With all due respect bud, if that's what you see, you either don't know what you are looking at, or are not looking very carefully. Very few of the things that have gotten attention are not custom "one of a kind" pieces. I have spent a lot of time gathering ideas from other people's conversions, and there a many fabrications on this car that I have never seen anywhere else. The body is nice, but that isn't what caught my eye. QUOTE I mean, the suspension seems to be a good choice, but he doesn't even mention it in the ad. What does that tell you? It tells me you haven't read the thread or looked at the ad very carefully. The ad is from a car dealer, and a post above says the car is being sold by a broker on consignment.

If anybody wrote that above, I missed it. I saw the paint on THIS car called half ass, but not anybody's conversion. I know what impresses me is that I see several of the areas I would like to improve on my car (which I consider to be an excellent example of a properly done conversion BTW) to have been addressed on this conversion in logical and custom ways. |
