I can appreciate someone wanting to do what they want to their truck, but this? I don't think they really had a plan in mind, just thought it would be fun to start cutting, and cutting, and cutting.

Yeah, that appears a bit overkill to me.. and this coming from a guy who cut his truck in half to make his truck into an extended cab. I mean in my case my truck was a basketcase and not complete enough for a resto.. but that truck looks like he started with decent sheetmetal

What would scare me is the fact there is no glass, I know that can be a real pain with a chopped vehical. I also love the fact that its being sold for parts? What parts are left that haven't been hacked? Basically I think someone realized they screwed up their project and just want to dump it off.

Agreed, but have you priced the senders for S-W stuff lately?! $75+ for an oil pressure sender.

It doesn't look like any "56" I've ever seen, maybe he cobbled it together out of parts? Still, Muy ugly though!

When I see something like that I usually say that someone either ran out of Time, Money or Talent.
It's not often that you see all three in one project.
