Yet no one with a distorted taste hit the BIN button. Another old car destroyed for the new car lovers.

Actually it's no longer a FL. Complete departure from the original FL theme. The interior, is it fom a lexus? How can anyone like that? A Mona Lisa with tattoos and nose piercing in a neon frame? A new lexus with whitewall tires and spinner caps? Some people say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I beg to differ. A turd is a turd.

The driver would have to be under 5 ft tall with that silly top chop.

They tried their best to make a 50s cars look like a piece of molten plastic (new car) and they succeeded. Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a new car in the first place? They should finish it by adding a pair of new plastic headlights and a bumper painted in body color.

I personally like *some* of the modifications and really dislike others (like the shaved firewall), but it doesn't matter because he is waaaaaay outside my budget anyway. Any modification has the potential to limit your buying pool because their taste might not match yours when you built it. But I really do like that people are giving more attention to the '55 mopars. Not many people care one way or the other what anyone does to them. It's good to see someone doing something with them.
