C'mon folks. Have some tolerance. YOU don't have to like his design. Only it's owner has to like it. This is about passion! That's what hand built cars are all about.
You are of course entitled to yor own (wrong) opinion. There are two schools at this juncture - the purist who wants a near original look, and the outlaw who wants whatever he(she) wants. Personally, I'd like to design and build a whole custom car body from scratch, but only lack the ability, the time, the tools and the money to do so. So I too own a kit car. And yes, I customized the hell out of my kit too. Maybe I should own a '32 Ford hot rod - but I can't afford a really nice one of those either. So I own a VW pan that is constantly being modified and dreamed upon, inside and outside. Long live passion (and tolerance).
