Very interesting to say the least, I had to look at all the pictures. looks like he's had fun with it which I guess is what matters?

Now that is one bad dream. " brings smiles to the faces of everyone who sees it." I wonder why-------I would expect to hear more snickers.
At least he did not call it what it appears to be.

I wouldn't call it the dreaded RR, in fact if you tossed off some extraneous crap (the models, thatched roof) it could be a cool little car. I darn sure wouldn't pay that kind of money for it, tho.

Dang Josh, that hurts my eyes!
Is that dryer vent used to make the "exhaust pipes"? It would probably go faster than 55 (not that I'd want to) if you trashed about 500lbs of that cr@p hanging on it....

That is almost a cool car. Maybe for $2000. I wonder what frame and suspension is? Also how is it titled?
I wonder if some of the parts he has on it are worth a bit.
Is that an incorrectly set up IFS?

I would remove all the awful trinkets except for the cowgirl on the fence and maybe pour that whiskey out of those hideous decanters into the rusty mug. At that point it would be rather creative, unlike the cookie-cutter rat rods, built and re-built and copied and re-copied over and over again by people with no imagination of their own. Flat black, red wheels whitewalls, hand grenade shift ****, indian blanket seat cover, fake speed shop door art..... Yawnnnnn.......At least this guy has some soul.........

I'm interested in buying it. I'm going to ask him to put six or eight more gauges on the dash, and it's a done deal.

Lots of cool parts. Somehow the whole conglomeration of them just doesn't work. Pare it down a bit and it might be kinda cool.....but not for $8800

Looks like one of the vehicles that was left over from one of the Mad Max films. Always wondered what happened to them after filming.
