    Whoa!  Reminds me of the World of Wheels cars from the 70's!  :grinyes:  Takes talent to paint like that!  :grinyes:

    A very artfully done car, but yes, a rolling freak show in this day and age.  People will think the circus is in town!  :roflsmiley:

    But I do like it, brings back memories of me as a little kid doing models in the basement and the smell of orange sented model glue.... maybe I sniffed too much glue?  :clueless: 

    Wait a minute, that was this morning too, but without the orange scent!!!!  :crazy:

    Seems it's either a love-it or hate-it deal. Here are a couple more shots. Personally I don't mind it. Was a 318 car originally.

    I like it. I'd drive it. Not sure I'd leave the grill though.

     Other than the grill/lack of side lights/painted trim/traction bars/......... I love it  :drool:
    Actually I'd also change those particular rims with that type of paint job.  :2cents:

     Really do love these paint jobs though. If I had enough b@lls I'd do my Chally like this, but I'm not that much of a showboat  :walkaway:
    Subtlety is a friend of mine in certain circumstance.

     Yea, I thought of choppintime right away, as soon as I looked at the pic.
    The last time he posted was July 21,2007, even though he was just on the 31st of January,2008  :clueless:  :dunno:
    Feel free to chime in there choppin. Would love to hear your opinion on this car  :roflsmiley:
    I think I know what it would be  :grinyes:  :lol:

    It's different, it's retro, and it gives me flashbacks




























































    of the seventies.  :smokin:

    THAT car looks worse than ANY RICER I have ever seen in my entire life.

    50 stickers on Jap cars with 20" rims and 5" exhausts out the back, with a smoke spray coming out the hood does not even COMPARE to how GAY This car looks. I know the world went backwards in the 60's and 70's but thats just RIDICULOUS.

    All that car needs is a Stick of Dynamite in the engine bay and 1 in the cabin.

    Whoever drives that car thinking it looks good is absolutelly MESSED Up in the head. :villagers:

    Hey g-man tell us how you really feel.. :roflsmiley:   :ylsuper:   :dunno:

      I can remember the crazy paint jobs of the time. I like it. I was working at a truck stop back then too and to see some wild paint and the murals some of those semi's had were very cool. Wish I still had some of the pictures I took from back then.

    Funny how tastes change as you get older.  I would have really liked that car 30 years ago when I was 17.  Now I'd take it and restore it back to original.

    I was used to seeing cars like that back in the day.  I would drive it but I would make 2 changes
    1 paint the stripe over the mirror- it doesnt look right
    2 Paint multi colors on the gril bars, that would help it blend in more.
