The customer needs to feel like they'd RATHER drive this than their Porsche. If the car is a pain in the ass, they're less likely to want to drive it over whatever else is in their garage, and thus they may start to think of it as more of a pain than what it's worth. Next thing ya know, it's up on the auction block.
There's a couple glaring issues i have with this one, and it's symptomatic to a lot of custom car builds. |
Other than the dash pad upholstery (seam on left center) and the steering wheel, I actually like this look. I think it is a nice blend of classic muscle car and modern tech. I don't know why anyone would put a lipstick whore red interior into a car like this but remember this shop caters to customers and they are located in St Louis not LA.
There is a lot of their best work that is never seen in public media due to the customers requests.
There are things I dislike such as the holes they press into everything they do. I hate it even though i have used the same jig on various projects.
