I know that the colors are weird… but I didn’t think everyone would be so turned off on the car for it… I think they rule… I guess that’s all that matters. ---

> [@newman](#): > > I know that the colors are weird… but I didn’t think everyone would be so turned off on the car for it… I think they rule… I guess that’s all that matters. I like the color of the car and even the way it clashes with the motor. Only colors I don’t care for are the mixture of your suspension/drivetrain pieces just because there are a handful of different colors under there ---

ehhh, I think you have to understand that the majority of people(and most show car standards) would agree that colors should match. It’s that simple, really. We all know you don’t care about that…but that’s the mindset of the majority of your viewers. ---

Everytime a comment gets brought up about the way you built your car…I feel like a nice photo of the NFG shiftknob should be your reply:) ---

“HOW DARE YOU BE DIFFERENT!! SHUN HIM! HATE HIM!” People just have no imagination. The world is a bunch of sheep following each other around. I personally love the car for all that is done to it and the imagination and uniqueness of it. You took an old car and made it new again. ---
