Looks like someone had a vision, but it got really blurry somewhere along the way.

Doesn't look much worse than an 82 GMC custom van I once owned. It had the SBC 305. I got a load of bad gas on vacation and had to change the fuel filter located in front of the carb. Hugging a hot engine amid a van load of unhappy passengers is something I don't want to repeat....

You guys are not catching the vibe at all. The vision was to create a tribute build to every Rat Fink fantasy design. You know, the ones where you need to be much larger and outside of the vehicle body so you can handle the oversized shifter with your equally bizarrely proportioned arm. I can totally see it.
