Custom fabrication

I found this surfing the internet and I thought that everyone might get a kick out of some of these "custom designs". I don't know how people would think that any of this would work. Enjoy!

That was awesome! I think my favorite was the extra blades spot welded into the turbo

Looks like some frame repair some people do on this site and think it is perfectly acceptable.

I just wonder how many people are randomly searching the internet, like I was, and think to themselves "Hey that would be a great idea! I can do it better than that!". lol. The sad thing is that some of those people probably think that now they are fabrication experts and need to impart their knowledge and fabrication skills on their buddies vehicles so they can be just as cool.

It makes the case for a "buy a welder, get a grinder free" sale somewhere, that's for sure. I mean if every weld looks like pigeon sh#$ at least have the shame to grind it off an paint it

I would like to see "after" pix of that one where the guy installed the turbo under the seats, though......

i saw a littler ricer in flames on the side of the interstate the other day think that may have been the final outcome of a couple of those projects

I'll never understand why people do stupid crap like this. That jeep has no suspension. This was entertaining though.
