I was wondering what a retro woody Magnum might look like.... so out with the photoshop... I'm not too sure about it, but it kinda looks like it might work.
I realize that this isn't everybodies taste, hell, it's not even really my taste, but I'm exploring options....
For a woody look, it's not that bad... but you have to love the woody look.
I don't mind the negative comments, but some reasoning would be nice, these are forums after all, to discuss things, mull them over, chew em up and spit them out. Even if it's just to
remember those station wagons from the 80s that had the backward back seat? thats what you get putting paneling on the magnum. its been done, it looked awful then, dont bring it back.

I think it will be ok. Just needs to be done right. I have always liked the older woodies, because of the work that needs to be done to shape the wood. Since I am sure you are prob going to have it painted on, it needs to looks as real as possible. I think I am pretty good with photoshop, so I can draft one up and can post for ya
I've only seen a handful of modern vehicles that actually looked good with the wood treatment. A couple of PT Cruisers with good Woodie kits and other that didn't look so good do to poor fit and quality of the parts.
This Ford Explorer that was at the LA auto show and SEMA in 2001 that was black with real birch wood, it looked awesome in person. It had the retro cool theme, but with a modern flare...
Woody treatment on a Magnum, it could be pulled off with good planning and design......maybe..but I would drop the skirts for sure...
