  • Just because you can...




    If i had the skills, not what i would have done, but if he lost interest and was local id scoop it up. Trying to make a "ford superbird?" I see what he's doing there but still...

    After reading all the negative comments id rock it even more with the I <3 Haters sticker.

        I mean...he did resist the temptation to kill it with a hood scoop. That is one long line going up to the windshield. The front end sticks out more than a buick! Point of reference, a buick actually parked next to it.

          The front end looks kind of like a NASCAR from the 90s.
          The back end like a stock racecar from the 60s.
          Haha.

            I bet the reason he used the tauras nose was it most likely free.

                    He should have at least chose a front end that he could've kept the body lines going.

                              I agree

                              If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
