Take a little off the top please!
On the plus side, it can be transported to the recycler without crushing it. Neeto geeto
In a show of respect, please turn your ball cap backwards to view.  More info here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enth...?ocid=msedgdhp

Someone dropped a 69 from a crane, and paid a "tuner" to fix it...

Designer #1: "We got flat paint, more scoops than a Baskin Robbins, flares and a cow-catcher on the front Casey Jones would love ... I don't think it's too over the top do you?"
Designer #2: "Over the top!?! ... out of the mouth of babes in backwards ballcaps! Let's chop and section it so low everything is over the top!" Designer #1: "Um, yeah!"

I’m surprised that they showed restraint chopping the top. I’m not a fan of big chops, but don’t mind that as much. Those side scoops should go back to the ‘80’s where they belong. Besides that and the chaulkboard looking paint, I don’t dislike it as much as I thought I would.

Young mans car.
The look is awesome , but probably a 'pain ' to drive . . . and to get in and out of.

Overall it looks fine, and it better handle well for the look it has.
Not a fan of super-low ride and tire. |

This is along the lines of a Ring Brothers build and being a fan of their work, as well as getting to know Mike and Jim Ring, I think this GTO is an interesting build.

I like it. It’s not easy to chop the top 3” and section the body 4 1/2” and keep everything looking correct. The scoops look OK to me. I’ve seen enough stock looking ‘69 GTOs to appreciate something a little different.
Sonny’s motor though? Nah.....

I like it!
It's nice seeing something different. If everyone built/restored these cars all the same way, it would be one boring hobby.

I don't mind it, but will wait to see what it looks like when it's finished.

Wow that is hideous.The main reason I've kept my car for 49 years is so somebody with a backwards ball cap and ZZ top facial hair wouldn't wrap it around a tree or do their idea of a mod rod with the car.

What do you mean the brim is supposed to keep the sun out of your eyes? Umm, everyone knows it's made to keep the sun off the back of your neck.

Pardon my amateur airbrushing, but how hard was that to clean up the mess they made? Unfortunately, it bears a striking resemblance to a 1971 Mustang Mach 1.
