Pictures make all the difference in the world on ebay, and these are plain
bad. Seen in person, and judged as a custom car, the work on this car is
right up there with the best show stuff built. As can be seen in the last
picture of the auction, this was one of a pair of wild bugeye customs. The
murals on the back are his & hers frogs. The car shown for sale is the more
mild of the two, and was "hers". A quick repaint to get rid of the mural,
and this would be a very nice ride.
