Semi-Shaved 1975 Galant Hardtop

Those of you that know UMPH will realise he's no fan of shaving.  The greying beard probably gives it away, right?  Yes and no.   Yes , because he really does love his facial follicles but no , because in this instance he's actually referring to the strange practice of removing vehicles' external door handles and locks. In its most extreme version - the 'Lo-Lux' look favoured by young skater types - even the door handles get removed.    Devotees of the style like to ruin perfectly serviceable utes by dropping the rears so low the headlights point skywards, then weld and bog-up nearly anything that ever hinged or opened.   How they even get into their faux-gangsta mobiles is a mystery.  Electronic remotes, perhaps?  What if the battery goes flat?  Anyway, enough said about the pants half-way down their bums brigade and those stupid skater hats ... This week's subject is more semi-shaved ; an old-school bikini line rather than full-Brazilian, if you prefer,
