[urq] Coffee and cars, was Re: [s-cars] Seattle area shop advice

Actually, if you look at the rear quarter, you'll see that they "borrowed"
from a later model and mixed-and-matched for this custom.  I also read about
it somewhere too.  It's not bad, but I'd rather have the real thing of any
model year, if it was in similar shape.  If they had done the entire early
body, it'd have more appeal to me.  As it, it's nice to look at, but I think
you'd have to be a real Corvette enthusiast with some hot rod tendencies to
really like this.
