Call me goofy, but it's the front fenders that really kill it for me.
Way too opened up...

That's not so bad. At least it has a consistent theme, appears complete, has gloss, and doesn't look like rolling tetanus. Although I'd probably like it better if the rear fenders weren't on backwards.

Likely F2-F6 fenders. At least I hope that's what they are and not radiused F1 fenders.

That's funny right there. I take it you don't like all the rusty metal, welded on tools, gas cans, and spider webs some rolling pieces of cr , I mean art, have?

MYHOTCARS - Flames need to start at the bottom and reach at least 10 feet above the top - Maybe then it will be hot enough.

Doesn't fit my taste but I think the asking price is reasonable for all the parts and work that has been done to it.

Must be a real chore to drive. Probably scrape your head on the top while trying to see out of the tiny windshield and around the scoop intake. And, it just doesn't work for me. Definitely a monstrosity.
