I met Camilo, the Cheif designer of the 2005/06 version, when I was working in Winnemucca in 2013. He was on a road trip, in one of the 5 GTs he's had, from Michigan to LA for a car show! Pretty laid back guy... Funny as hell once he got drunk!!

Does make you wonder what they were doing. It was a one-vehicle accident, after all.

I see trees, power line poles, a county road going over a hill and a fireman standing where the control arm and exhaust manifold should be. I think I’ve been here before.

The recent Ridler winner. I see some beautiful work, but some eww too, like the wheels and headlights.

The same shop presented this Chevy last year. They definitely have a particular style that I'm not quite fond of. To me, it’s like they get it 90% there and then throw 10% ugly into the mix,

Aren't those a Mercedes headlight? I've seen a number of cars through the years being done like that. Very few of 'em work with the rest of the car, as far as I'm concerned.

They should be Mercedes lights. Early-mid 2000s if I remember correctly. I’ve seen lots of shoebox Fords with them over the years. People tend to graft them into cars of the late '40s to early '50s.

It's supposed to be hideous, and it is.

Unless the original fender lines flowed the same direction as those headlights do, then it just doesn't seem to work, IMHO. For example, this one works for me. Still prefer the originals much better, but at least these flow with the fenders.
