When someone builds something like this, do they ever step back to asses the direction its taking? Or do think this was exactly what they were aiming for when they started?!?!

Absolutely mind-boggling. Hideous beyond comprehension.

Check out this crap bucket. Only $9800. My favorite lines in the ad: "The red on the car is primer. The factory silver paint is preserved under the car but would take awhile to get to."

From the engine bay shot, it's amazing how evenly that surface rust spread out.

I'm sure that a car sitting outside in Dallas for the few decades is really "solid."

Exactly! You'd be surprised how many "Yaba Daba Do" vehicles are advertised as "minor TX rust", oh wait! This IS the Epic CL ad thread right?..so scratch that. Reminds me of all of those "rust free" tropical island cars

The PHS documents explains everything it has.
But not everything that's missing.
What's the code for serious floor pan rust?

That's a case of..... "If you can't dazzle em with brilliance, then baffle em with BS."

Well, nobody is perfect. Everyone's ass has a crack in it.
