Well he gave it its death sentence when he rusted the whole body but I agree that I don’t like the chop. The motor, suspension, interior and rust are all pretty cool. ---

rusty is a cool car even if you don’t like the final outcome of the car, what most people don’t know, unless you read the whole build thread is that the car was falling apart from the firewall, he was gonna send it the the junk yard but instead rebuilt it. pretty cool that he saved it, and that he pisses off a lot of people with it. ---

> [@SOLD](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sold/36567/101): > > I think he ruined it once he chopped the top if you read the thread, which i did a while back the chop occured because of the damage that the A-pillar had from the incident. the car at that point was considered totalled, so he figured why not just go nuts with it now. ---

this is the only car that could pull off that look. i normally hate the rusted hood/roof/vagina look. also, the wwii mustang stencil really flows with the car too. ---

There was some things that required skill, the rest required being a dumbass with money to blow. annnnd he isnt a trendsetter… he is the follower. back in the 50’s the build concept he followed was invented and was the “trend setter”.
