To us it is a way to coalesce our random ideas that customers either wont approve or basically dont "get" into one cool project....it will at some point be painted, more than likely silver even though its played out and too common on modern cars it will look killer on this ...but , it will be labeled a rat rod in the meantime.. until its done I guess.
Cool project, and I get what you're up to. If I were the design boss on it though, I'd give serious thought, (OK, you'd have to really convince me NOT to....) ro chopping the pillars and lowering the roof. I think the graphics (that is, the ratio of the greenhouse to the body) need to be balanced better.

Maybe it's just me, LOL. In any case, I hope to see future updates!
