Re: Suburban Woodie??

I guess I just feel sorry for the Burb. Not sure why somebody would hang wood on a beautiful body like that?

Re: Suburban Woodie??

The wood look is cool but the wheels and top have got to go, and not to sure about the stacks out the hood!

Re: Suburban Woodie??

It's unfortunate that some otherwise truly talented people have no concept of flowing lines, spatial relationships or complimentary colors. Not to mention some things just don't belong with other things.

In this case, I think the basic idea is solid, but the "wood" color doesn't seem to fit with the paint color, the otherwise gorgeous interior has a lot of "busy" elements to it, and in my opinion you have to go a lot more radical with something to justify pipe-organ injector stacks. The only way they would look right on that truck is if it were tubbed with a flip front end and had a parchute on the back.

The execution looks flawless though.
