Like Jerry says, too many Hillbilly mods. Can almost hear the banjos pluckin' now...love that shot where he uses his finger to cover the license plate; kind of explains his entire restoration philosophy right there. What a shame, it was once a beautiful car.
I see a lot of cars on the net for sale with their finger held over the license plate, I just laugh. I figure it just shows their true mentality and after taking a closer looksy it usually appears to be low. The hood just looks so tacky, biggest eye sore in my opinion. Keith
