"...the wheels we ordered were too wide to fit, so rather than sending them back, paying the $100 restocking fee and waiting another week for the correct size, we decided to cut into the perfect, original quarter panels, and bondo in some radical 70's style fender flares..."
I would be concerned about how many burnouts were done and what kind of fiddle £¡¢# fixies they did just to get it rolling... if it was the last mopar or muscle car on earth and I had to have one.... I would hang my head in shame hat in hand and buy a pinto before I would consider anything from a Hollywood garage.
Sooooo...
Let me see if I understand this....
The wheels didn't fit and they didn't want to pay a $100 bucks restock fee,
SO,
Instead,
they cut up and bondo the rear quarters....
Hmmmm....
That makes perfect sense!
Because 69 B-body quarter panels ONLY cost $20 bucks per side plus freight, they basically grow on trees...
WAIT!
No they don't!
Can not believe they butchered the quarter panels over $100!!!!
Now,
the new owner has to FIX their lazy @$$, pee poor choices.
Unbelievable...
they screw up almost every car with the lowering and big crappy wheels...and the "ratrod" build is just a lazy way to make a car look like crap and the builder thinks it's cool. There was NO ratrods in the 50's/60's, just guys with drivers they didn't have the money to finish. I don't know what the people are thinking when they overpay for crap they build.
Let's not confuse REAL rat rods with what they CALL a rat rod, 2 entirely, completely different things, they call everything with rust a "rat rod" or it has "patina" which isn't the case.
I've seen some rat rod builds by unknown guys in their garages that are absolutely mind blowing, and some of the fabrication on some of them is nothing short of incredible! And the work involved is massive.
I'll admit that some of @$$ monkey's earlier builds are nice, I even like 1 or 2, but this 69?....not so much, it needs restored or a resto-mod.
