It's those huge ugly 70's-80's bumpers that make them so fugly, look at the lines of the car itself.

I did, I have and I have to say...

C'mon.... Those are still fugly, even with the nice paint jobs and wheels.

Try this example:
The Crosley wagon is "fugly"

or is it?  :headscratch:

Wow, that must be two different years of Crosleys, or someone got really creative with the sheatmetal on the schoolbus one.

Try this one on for size.  It's not a classic, but it's one we've all unfortunatly seen.  Kinda reminds me of an anteater. :think:

Wow that Anglia looks cool, but it also looks like it would be a death trap in the 1/4 mile - not enough wheelbase to go straight with decent horsepower.

I agree, but if we are staying "true" to the thread, the built Chevelle looks better than the built TR7.  :twocents:

tr7, the picture you have of the chevelle looks like its a pos, if its going to be that much work, probably better off building one from scratch, will probably end up costing the same, and everything will be new..
