If they'd have kept the original dash with that wrap-around the seat would probably have to be moved back and that wouldn't really work. Yeah; this is one of those that is best ascribed to "to each their own"...and it certainly does nothing for me.
I think John (stage III) has seen it in person....or he at the least made a post about it a year or so ago. I'd boatpaint gold flake it, put some cool 60s/70s dragster name in green on the side, put a tunnel ram on it, and roll. Edit: oh, and some pie crust cheater slicks, red line front tires, and green window tint.....I really want it in a weird way. Make an early 70s street freak out of it......
