That grill and quad headlights are burning my retinas. Looks like a mirror image. Ill pass on that front end. That suspension is up nice and high like back in the day.

Sometimes, an owner can get a little too creative. Not diggin' that double front...but otherwise, looks like a killer machine! I know I'm old-school...but, I still love the 60's-early 70's "rake" look.

[quote="chevellelaguna"]I bet Zeppelin is in the 8 track player!

Or, this song by Deep Purple in '72.  What other song epitomizes the feeling of driving your "killer machine" back then?!  Turn up the volume and re-live the experience!

After looking at it for a while i figured cutting the ends off the bumper and making a '70 camaro split bumper set up would be the best look. imho

EWWW! that car is horrendous! that guy shouldn't be allowed to build any more cars, unless that guy is Foose and this is one of the mistakes he learned from.

The Fords in the background look pretty nice however!

That might be interesting if done well, might be kinda funky though.

It looks like a 73...by the grille.  Looks like they spliced two together with the extra header panel at the bottom...for that "Mirror effect".  

He shoulda just got a 73 Guna nose....then it would be perfect.  I could see that 70 Camaro look up front too.

Well the grill is huge, the lights look bigger, the missing opera windows make it look like it's got sails, and the hair on the guy is even bigger.

BUT I love those stripes and the hood scoop they are sharp.
