Do not view on a weak stomach

I don't know anything about it but... Different tastes for different folks I guess.

Not my kind of mods, but the area behind the seats looks like it came out of a 65 Thunderbird convertible.

I don't hate it......at least it has fenders on it. I might have done some things differently, but the same idea has run through my twisted brain at times....

The fender ornaments look to be from the same car. I'm on the fence with this one.

There is a lot of work in that; I like the blending of the seats, they have done a nice job with what they had. I like it.<o></o>

All the 64-66 tbirds had the same wrap around back seat with the divider treatment, whether h/t or 'vert. Looks good. The fender ornaments are from something else. It also appears they used Big Job front fenders and altered the headlight opening and widened the grille to hide the effort. It's really wide across the front. A lot of work was done there, and it's not nearly as bad as most.

That reflects an awful lot of work, although I would have frenched the headlights. Fender ornaments appear to be late '40's Buick.

Indeed a lot of work . Not bad . At least it is painted and does not have the "in your face appeal " like most rat rods . I'll bet it hauls a$$ too.

I like it! I bet the builder had a bunch of spare parts laying around and decided to see what could be created.

I think it would look better if the firewall flowed into the fenders better, But I actually like it! Kind of reminds me of this one I saw on ebay. Wish i would have saved more pictures of it.

Half my cars are built that way!

I would of put that v12 in an open engine car so it would be more visible. Gotta love that home made intake.
