    At least to me..
    To much bondo? crooked frame or on purpose?
    Starting at 0.24 in that rear tire is showing weird.

    Must of missed what your talking about.
    Although I don’t care for that particular car culture I can appreciate the work and talent that goes into those.

    While growing up and on my way to school…my mother always told me dark blue and dark red do not match. Guess she was right…

    Starting at around .20 in the rear quarter doesn't look right, the factory lines of the quarter isn't right as in no crease especially below and hangs a little low at the back plus the tire is sticking out towards the front.
    I don't think it was done on purpose as the rest of the outside looks stock. It looks like it has alot of filler.
    You really have to pause a little to see it.
    The paint and chrome looks good though but like Guy said I don;t like the color combo.

    I remember the late 70’s Cadillacs, mostly the Sedan Deville, some having a dark blue exterior with red leather interioro_O

    I do see the body line on the quarter starting at the rear of the wheel opening going back, doesn’t look as defined as from that point forward to the jamb

    Might be on to something with the reflection of the white parking line hitting the lower part of the body:D:oops:

    Nice work! I agree another color might be better, but I've seen worse too!

    My first "real" job was at a Ford dealer. In the 1960s apparently there were people who wanted a blue exterior with a red interior. Ford had the combination as a "not recommended" color choice. The new car manager told me that it would be a non-refundable 25% deposit if anyone ordered that combination. We did sell one convertible that was dark blue with red. I understand why Ford said not recommended.
