Bill, it does look pretty stock and dropped with a few mild changes....but i think it's really cool! It still fits the forum and i build cars like this once in awhile also. I have a thing for this kind of look as well as some of the harder customizing. Always....GREAT WORK! PS......if you don't like it....wanna part with it?

Bill, here's my thoughts on your build !!! you and i see your build from two different viewpoints !!! you think it's too stock and, i think it could be the perfect low budget custom for a 16-19 year old kid who'd be workin his ass off at a minimum wage job and he can't afford a full-blown custom !!!
you've found some very subtle customs touches that ANY kid could afford and have a knock-out custom that he or she'd be proud to own and build themselves. just my 2 cents.

Let me start out by saying that I almost CHOKED TO DEATH when I seen that paint! Caught my breath in my throat and it wouldn't let it go! After I had somebody beat me on the back, I started studying the finer points of this. Bill, you say it's too stock. I'm with Duane, in that you have changed JUST ENOUGH of it to make it kustom. Not a full blown, superflaked, wayout machine, but a very tasteful ride. I wouldn't mind seeing the interior a little more, but the rest of this that I can see is just gorgeous! THIS car would CERTAINLY get you a date in 1:1, buddy! I hope that you'll present this for April MOM, it would certainly be worthy of homepage status!

Oh yes she's really mild , far too mild to be a real stillwagon, but, hey, that grille looks great in it, and those huge WWW are your signature ! ;D i think those 60 kruzers don't need a lot of surgery to look kool ! remember they were considered as factory customs ! please post that baby on Koolest kruzers too ! ;D
