Not sure what I think of this. Help me form an opinion...       I appreciate the aesthetic. I understand the aesthetic. I just think I'd prefer to see it painted and trimmed. Much love for the stance Much love for the chop Much love for the choice of base vehicle Also much love for the Weld Pepperpots I also dig *some* of the accessories, like the blackout covers for the headlights, I dig the way the headers come back up through the running boards, little tricks like the M for Morris AA Badge is clever. It sure garnered some attention. Whaddya reckon guys? Fool or Rule? |

It's growing on me, but I think it's a little too chaotic. The overall picture gets lost. I'm hoping it's not finished and there's some more subtle tweaks to come.

Not sure I'd be happy sitting on an untrimmed seat, but otherwise it looks pretty good and demonstrates what a proper rat is.

It doesn't work for me at all. Too much of a mix of styles and the wheels don't work with it in my opinion. It's needs either proper or no windows, and lose the modern bits which just don't fit.

I like that, especally the Blackout covers on the headlight, actually looks like they don't work as the car looks to have some bomb damage! lol

Wants proper windows, better interior and 12 spoke spindle mounts up front.

I like the stance and wheels and blackout covers. Not hot on the rear window treatment, the (bits of) seats and some of the "bits". And the tops of the front coilovers on show, which is an odd thing not to like, but they don't really fit in with the age of the rest of the vehicle and the general aesthetic, and it would take barely any effort to cover them.
And yeah, better in one colour.
But that colour should be BLACK ;D

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Ditch all the extra accessories and it would be cool. I actually kinda like the wheel's, but only if it's really fast, same for the fuel lines and suspension.
The interior is terrible too, or at least the seats, steering wheel and shifter.
What engine is it running?

That looks very similar shape, stance etc wise to something that was around a few years ago. I can't remember what model car it was (maybe Standard??) but it was in red oxide primer on fat cragar 5 spokes.
I'm not too sure about Pro Street rat overall, too much conflictions of opposite ends of the performance spectrum.

I like it all apart from the rear windows, they don't seem to fit with the rest of the overall "aesthetic" of the car. I particularly like the DANGER sign on the front.

BOnus its not a ford which is all I have ever seen with this look From that oint of view 'What a great car!' I agree with Billy....but were it mine it'd be sans front wings/running-boards, sat on its ar5e wearing a tube axle/spindle-mounts up front, and powered by a 454 Chevy with weed-burners and glazed in orange-tinted Perspex. But that's my way, and the car's HIS way.....which is cool by me. Top marks to him for doing something different, with something different.  |

Too 'busy', but it could be legendary if he lost some of the details. I like the finish on the body, but the chrome bits just don't work, nor do the front rims IMO. Some aspects, particularly the headlights, are almost steampunk.
In general, though, it's incredible, and the only things which spoil it can be easily removed/undone. Is it too late to get this to RR10? ;D ;D ;D
