Yup, thats the one! Keeps getting better each time I see it.
I have to admit, it don`t do anything for me. The rear is ok but the front end just looks out of place, maybe a big grille to fill it in and extend the arches around the wheels to meet it. |

That's the beauty of customising isn't it TB -there's a style to suit every taste. The stripped down, high riding racer style is probably one of the more radical looks, but I like it. Like a lot of custom trends, it started out on the drag strip, with racers hoiking up the front ends of their cars to push the back end down on the tarmac for more traction & acceleration, but has evolved into something more -or less, depending on your tastes.

Veryt much what I thought. |

But if you did that it would lose that gasser "feel", gassers are not everyone's cup of Darjeeling but I have to admit I have a soft spot for them as they just look so mad  maybe a future project of mine or is one already in the pre build stages  |

Love the pop but the Consul does nothing for me. It's just looks wrong  I know it's meant to look like that but I keep seeing that style and just makes me think that they builder did not have a tape measure when putting it together.... However I do appreciate it as a custom vehicle just would never own/build one.. |
