sullynd Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Awful. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. I just saw a corvette someone had done this too - it was a modernish vette with an 53 front clip and rear, and it was ridiculous. Looked like China tried making a corvette.

DeluxeStang Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I never understand projects like this. "Hey, let's spend tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars custom fabricating a vehicle. Let's also make it look worse than the modern doner vehicle, and the classic vehicle it's trying to replicate". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92merc Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 At first, I though that doesn't look that bad. Then I looked at the rest of the pictures. :headsmak: emoji... Needs to be a Bump Side anyway. But I'm biased since I own a '67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 I'm just curious if they'll fix the "styling" to make it look better because currently it just looks like it is hacked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it unfortunately. That's the problem with retro body kits. They take historic designs, but blow them up and stretch them in odd ways to fit over the skeleton on modern car's. Just doesn't look good. Add in the fact that it looks like they're leaving the cab basically stock. So it just looks like some horribly molested Frankenstein monster.

atomcat68 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 It looks like the son of the rusty tow truck from the "Cars" movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Handler Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I'm relieved to know it's not Icon 4x4 doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
