I suppose. You've probably seen mine somewhere. It is two tone, white and Caribbean Turquoise. Maybe that kills it?? It's also unfinished. I get lots of good comments from guys. Maybe the ladies are only interested in finished products??
At shows, people in general show very little interest because it's not as shiny as the vehicles next to it. They see what has not been finished and don't stop to check out the details.
Whatever the reason, it is not a chick magnet as it is.
And it still does work:

Charlie, you hit the nail on the head. Women like the finsished product. They like bling and sparkle. Remember the old saying? Diamonds are a girls best friend. That applies to trucks and cars too. I can assure you if your truck was finished and shiny and combine that with the natural good looks of the Uni, the women would be complimenting it. The difference between men and women are the men see a lot of potential in your truck and can picture in their mind the finished product whereas women see an unfinished vehicle and do not invision what it will look like when it is finished.

Well, then I guess it's a good thing I'm building it for me and not a woman.
So a man's best friend is a dog and a woman's best friend is a rock? Women value all of the wrong things. At least the dog can be good company
There is still a flaw, though. They love VW Buses, finished, and unfinished. I went to a big VW show last weekend and I couldn't believe it.

Well guys I have to add a little something.
I have had so many ol fords I loose count.I had a 65 f250 during high school and college and after.I would have to say it was a big work in progress.
But I assure you on 2nd st in Nashville and back here @ home I never had any problems.Just throw out the ol' trout line and reeel the ladies in!
My wife loves my 64 f250 that I am working on.She has vision and knows my abilities so I guess she is not just someone off the street.So no not everything has to have shiny paint.Flat is where it is at.
And YES VW Vans ROCK!! I grew up in 2 different ones my parents had when I was much younger.So say what you want but I will have one in my shop with all my other Ford products someday.

Charlie, contrast the trucks to houses. A woman can see an old house and invision just how it will look when it is finished, whereas most men aren't as good at it unless may be there gay man. A woman can look at an empty house and have it decorated in their minds eye in seconds, most men can't, but a man can see an old truck out in the weeds and his mind will be going crazy will all the things he can do to that truck to make if look good. However some of us are wired a little different. I was never good at home decorating, so I leave that to my sisters good taste and trust me every time she comes over she tells me what I need to do. I am more like you guys, I can see an old truck and I know what it will take to make it look good. I guess its the tom boy in me.
Charlie, one more thing about dogs. While women loves those diamonds, have you ever seen a woman that was not a sucker for a cute little puppy? We love dogs and cats too.

So women can see potential in houses & men (never met a woman who didn't want to change *something* about me - LOL) but not vehicles?

I can see the potential in a house. I've never met a man who was not a sucker for a cute little puppy. In my opinion, if you're not a sucker for a puppy you're not human.
But I've heard many women say diamonds are there best friends and to that, I say whatever floats your boat.
