To low for Glen, that doesn't make sense 🤣

Ya well his “ fixed income “ is way more than my actual income. I think he’ll survive. 🤪

"Fixed" as in having been to the vet clinic ???

Or just wrapped in duct tape ???

I've heard of his collection of ladders and "steppy stools" he keeps for getting into his favourite rides.

Thanks for the ideas.  I've been wondering what I can do with my high school '70 Monte.  It is in rough shape and I need to replace the rear quarters.  I'm thinking of going a full custom on it with lowered suspension front and rear, shaved drip rails, shaved door handles, and maybe body matching bumpers.  I was thinking of taking some paint cues from the low rider crowd but maybe some ghost scallops would work great in a black or silver paint job.  I could tint the windows heavy.

I've already done the chrome and side-marker light deletes on the car to smooth up the side profile.

I like the looks of the lead sled Merc from Stallone's movie Cobra, especially the steelly rims.  I saw a '70 Torino painted black with those once and thought that was a clean look.  Those rims would be a nice addition.

Getting the wheels turning in my head!

That sounds like a great and fun project!
