While the cracker box is ugly it is pretty because it is so simple.
An Astro, at least for me, is starting to get to new and ugly, hard to explain why, but mostly because it's not simple any more.
Looking over the one I was taking the engine from gave me the idea that they were unnecessarily complicated, and that's not good for an easy restoration.
Again, I was not looking to buy one, and those are only my first thoughts, and half formed ones at that. If I knew ahead of time that I was going to be quizzed I would have studied harder.
