Not a fan. I know the automotive world is heavy in personal taste, but to me these hybrids destroy the lines that make the classics so beautiful.

It had a big SOLD sign in the window. Someone liked it. Not me. The lines were all wrong. To each his own though.

Re: Saw this at Pate - 64/98 custom

It’s interesting, but seems like a lot of work and money to create something that’s neither fish nor fowl. Kind of like the VW beetles with the Rolls Royce front ends years ago.

Re: Saw this at Pate - 64/98 custom

Woof! I suppose that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but I own a 90 Sportside which I really like and have owned since new. The Sportside look is ruined and the target isn't hit for the 60's look. The roof is particularly heinous. The front fender is just weird. It's something, and I'm sure the owner is proud. but Golly.....it's UUUUgleeee!

Re: Saw this at Pate - 64/98 custom

It's got a bad case of "hobo" hair.

What a lot of work! IMHO if the cab would have been left alone (stock 98 roof profile) it would look pretty good. Hell, I would drive it!

But then people have always said I am about a half bubble off plumb

It would be interesting to see under the hood, inside the fenders, etc. where all the mod's were made..... just to see the quality (or lack there of?) of the mod's.

It really is the roof that doesn't work, almost like a badly fitting toupee. The rest of the truck looks like a lot of design thought went into it, and then everyone got tired and wanted to go home so they just plopped something on top and called it quits.

I appreciate all the work that went into it, but the lines are just all wrong. It just looks goofy.

I can appreciate the work they put into it but as someone posted above, "just because you can doesn't mean you should".

Re: Saw this at Pate - 64/98 custom

I respect the amount of thought and work that had to go into making that abomination. Past that, I love the 60-66s AS THEY ARE because they are just d*mn sexy (wish my wife had lines like my truck)!!! This is right there with defacing art. Why is it that the more money someone has (that project couldn't have been cheap), the less taste they have???

Re: Saw this at Pate - 64/98 custom

I can't tell from the pic, is that a S-10? If so, I've seen that done before. I think there's a kit that someone makes.
Not my cup-o-tea either.

At least it's not as offensive as the one at Pate for some reason, till you get to the taillights and the green snake stuff. But oh well beauty is in the eye of the beholder and someone must like it just not me....Vernski
