    Well, this doesn’t look like your father’s Jeepster! This is wild, 50s style scallops, but kinda neat, even if I would rather see an original looking Jeepster! A definite show winner, though.

    Now this is a true work of art. But, Yuk! (I know. I don’t have an artistic side. lol) Pretty to look at but I wouldn’t be caught driving it. It’s a nice 1:1 scale model. Where the time, effort, skill, and expense can be appreciated, it’s a uniquely personalized pile of metal. Good work there, but it’s not for me.

    (Whoops, did I say that out loud? lol.)
