Top looks factory to me..... Front doors are longer, giving the illusion of Thing being shorter..... Or Dillusion........ Rolling Eyes Top frame looks bowed too, as most original ones are.....

Ditch the wheels, put the round headlights back in, looks funny with the "body line" blank in the rear sides, and the little detail stuff is bad, ie....paint chips, dash paint, door speakers, etc..... Kind of a cool concept though.

I'll just say that I will [i]not[/i, no way, no how, no why, not be bidding on this auction.

I mean, did you look at those air scoops? It looks like the intake area has been quartered. It's just going to overheat.

That vehicle has only one redeeming quality: it's flammable.
