Well, first of all it's ugly. Secondly, it's unsafe. And third, I just threw up a little.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but that's just a real shame.

About that time my wife walked out. And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts. But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

Down south, they have a saying for just about everything. For this, "That boy ain't right" comes to mind.

Also, note that the keys are plainly in the ignition. There's no "Let's Help keep a Good Kid from Going Bad" at work here - deep down, he wants this thing gone I betcha.

Just because you can, don't mean you should.

Sorry to the guy who own this if you are on here, but if you ask me (which you weren't) I'd have to say: "it ain't workin'" Just my 20c.

I think he built it to show case what he did underneath, likely a project that was just taking too long and not having a descent body to put on it so decided to have fun for our enjoyment.

You could be right. Either that or he bought a project in progress. The thing even has three point seat belts. The chassis work looks very nice. Typical streetrod engine. It's not your typical ratrod at all other than the hack job on the sheetmetal. Chopping up vehicles is still in style as evidenced by current TV programs so this won't end soon.

These threads are quite entertaining. We all seem to be cordial here but these threads are a chance to let out the rage against those who would commit heinous crimes against our beloved Effies.

"-junk Ford engine is thankfully gone!"

Obviously that engine doesn't even run, the valve cover gaskets aren't leaking.
