That is the ugliest car I have ever seen. It is so bad I feel sorry for the guy!
You know he spent a buttload of time doing this to this car. It makes me want to pull him aside and straighten him out (uhh no.. real wood on a car is NOT cool and a plaid shirt does not go with stiped paints).

Notice the windshield says $4500 and he has a Buy Now for $2k. The worst part is 3 people have bid on the thing. I wonder if it swells in the rain? Do you get a splinter trying to wax it? What would you wax it with? Lemon Pledge?

I missed the "I am selling it for a friend ". And if I was bidding on it, I would be "bidding for a friend."

Notice the bidder's ID is kept secret, I wouldn't want anyone knowing I bid on that piece of $hit.

I think a wooden body is a great idea! Heavier, weaker, less durable, more flamable, what's not to love?
I'm not just replacing my body with wood, I'm replacing all steel and aluminum with flint and soft metals.

It's a big splinter just waiting to happen! Looks like a '77 Chevy Monza!

wow - the craftsmanship, the beautiful plywood and stained and sealed even! I dont know if i can pass it up <scarcasm off>

Have to wonder how some people develop their sense of style or lack thereof.

hmm - then again I wouldnt mind a wood dash kit for my dash - doh!
