    It’s not my imagination, at least I don’t think. Is that chopped? Dah. Read the add Bill. At least I noticed even before reading the add.

    It looks like one of those projects where it's difficult to decide where to start :yuck:

    I think it’s easier to start on another project.

    I'm not a guy who only likes stock or only likes custom stuff. I like stock, custom and lots of stuff in between.
    I'd say this one was definitely going towards custom. For some reason I'm just not feeling this one.

    Yeah agree. I quite often like what somebody has done to something, and I would certainly rather see it customized than crushed. My only issue with something like this is when you see it on EBay for $60,000 cause somebody wants their money from their attempts of at being Barris light.

    I've never been a fan of the chopped look. I LIKE a decent 'greenhouse'. I've got no issue with the AMC Pacer, for instance.....

    I had a friend that had a Pacer, and he used to say that he had to sell it cause he couldn’t afford the Windex.

    Doing a chop on a car which was designed for hat-wearers is one thing or even a body chop on al old heap that needs it. The one done on this wagon seems so out of balance

    IMO that's because Bill Mitchell and his staff knew what they were doing. Why didn't they just leave this old Chevy alone ?

    That would have meant leaving the crack pipe alone, before grabbing the tools
