Anybody else go by and watch them working on one of these at Carlisle? I
popped by for a few minutes - wasn't real impressed with it. Looked over the
finished one and personally I thought it looked kind of cheesy. Something
about it just didn't look "right" - can't put my finger on exactly what, but
I think the modern wheels on a car with that body styling look funny.
If you poke around the Gatsby web site a little, the Griffin looks pretty
nice to me. At least the pic looks good. Might look just as cheesy up close
and in person though.
