But, as I said earlier, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, so woody away with gay abandon.
Hehe, you said gay.

Understood. I have a car with a wood structure. Dead serious, the interior frame of the car under the metal is ALL wood to include the floorpan. A sight to see when it is powered by around 450hp.

The plastic on the smart woody kit is at least quite a bit more sturdy than the original wood of yesteryear. Something to think about when getting one of these - they should last the life of the car.

BTW, for those who didn't know - a hack is from the olden days on a Model T....a Depot Hack was made to carry passengers (and luggage) to the railway depots. All wood!!! and served a purpose.

Glad the 70's and 80's are over. The kit would look better, on a XB, or Cube. Like the Moonies.

In person this kit looks good on a smart. We first thought the same, but it does look pretty good.

We need a local car in So Cal for a woody project, so if you are in the area and are interested in a promo deal let me know.

Thank you Mark,

The Woody Kit is a really well made kit and looks sharp in person. We wanted to get one on a car and take it to the SEMA show, but ran out of time with other projects.
