So just watching speed channel, cruising the internet, not paying attention much to the T.V. Soon I am distracted by the annoying sound of a hammer in use. I look up and see some guy "modifying" a rear wheel well opening of a nice Capri.

Am I the only one sickened by this madness?

Eh, nothing wrong with rolled fender lips if it's done properly (which doesn't automatically mean you can't use a hammer...i did on mine and you can't tell the difference between a hammer and the tool to do it with).

This guy was hitting the rocker, and lip like the car stole his mothers purse.

I do body work, and this is different than "rolling"

I'm trying to find a link to it.

Ok, I didn't really throw up, or cry when I saw this.

I was just trying to get at the fact that I was shocked to see how furious the guy was smashing the cars quarter panel, and rocker area. Sure most anything can be fixed. I've fixed alot worse myself.

Maybe ten years from now it will seem worse

That car also has rust around th wheel openings too so the body wasnt that clean
They found a halfway decient Capri for cheep and slapped a drive train in it. Thats how 90% of the cars on Pinks are
