I had a buddy with a '48 Ford wagon. I thought it looked pretty good but he and his wife took all the wood off of it (on a '48, that's most of the body). It was a long process, several days. I got there one evening just as they were finishing up and we sat back and had a beer and looked at the naked cowl and chassis sitting there in the driveway. Then he looked at me and in all seriousness said,"I think it looked better in the box."
