Both of those are abominations, and should be killed with fire immediately.

The A-Pillars and windshield (well, the whole greenhouse, honestly) bug me on those and the Tahoe, let alone that one.

Poor Ford Shoebox. Stretching old car bodies to fit on newer chassis rarely has good results.

Still not as bad as the shoebox kit I've seen for a late model Thunderbird ('95-'96)

Eh, those proportions are much better on the Shoebox Birds than they are on that orange thing thought, almost looks like the builder put a Shoebox body over a FWD floor, suspension, and running gear.

Wish I had a picture of this guys car around town. He had a wooden wing and a roll bar made of PVC. He's a 60 something year old adult, not a teenager trying to look cool.

That's why a scatter shield is mandatory at the drags, that is sad. Saw something similer in the 70s, did not kill the guy, but he was a vegetable for the rest of his life.

So sad
