You know I don't like it. The interior looks nice but the *rat rod* look really doesn't go with these cars. A 32 Ford ok, Fox no.

I don't care much for the exterior either. The interior is nice (mine will look like that except with cloth TC seats and a console), but the car has an unfinished look about it on the outside. It actually looks to me like a car that's had a whole lot of bodywork done poorly and painted with a roller just to get it through an inspection. It might not actually be that way, but it looks it. The "beater" look does work on prewar cars, but on a 20-year old car it just makes it look like, well, a beater.

Also, I would hardly qualify this as a "rebuilt engine":

Not the best look since i don't like rat rods but still looks pretty nice and worth looking at least 1 time.

Or maybe the description that says "rat rod"? Lol, I think that may have stuck in peoples heads a bit. The thing is, the paint on the top is shiny, so they just messed up the paint and went with "rat rod" to try to smooth it over for the sale? It's more rinkey- than anything - as if it was cobbled together without much of an overall plan.

You don't see anything like that on my rat rod!
