Overall state looks good too. A very good place to start. About the nose: does the name Barbara Streisand ring a bell? _________________ Don't ask me what I think of you 'cause I might not give the answer that you want me to. www.kustombart.com Back to top Spookeend Dropped Joined: 13 Sep 2007 Posts: 190 Location: Canabis Country Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2008 9:45 am    Post subject: not that big of BS fan, but the nose is not even that bad i think. It has one line from right to left, ok the tube bumper is out of place, but i really think it could be a lot worse. I think with a non shine colour it would look much better and the front would not be so prominent anymore. And, it would maybe be a more clean look without the indicators there. Cool car, i asume the engine is a runner? Because there is no wirering and it has not been running for 20 years? Greatnix Spookeend _________________ If it ain't fast, make it LOUD!!!
