geez!! i like rat rods but this is rediculous!!! what a piece of cr*p!!! wheels are the only thing decent on it!!! new style of speedo, just count the revolutions of the driveshaft!! out here we have to safety a vehicle before registering it, this thing has no chance in to pass, huge fine and impound if your caught driving a unsafe vehicle.

Just took a quick trip over to the Hamb to check out your 35, that's a really good looking car and amazing transformation from when you purchased it, very nice work Jim.

Thanks a lot, I never mention it much on this forum because I like to help keep it a ford forum. I like all old cars, I spent 10 years building the chevy. It was the hardest one to rebuild , lots of wood , good thing I was a carpenter too, LOL. Well thats enough about the chevy on this forum. JIM

Hands down that is the most dangerous piece of crap I have ever seen on 4 wheels (that's including some pretty foolish things I built as a youngster). I'd feel safer riding that manure spreader down the highway with a lead rope as my steering wheel. Surely this guy doesn't drive that on the highway. Can you honestly imagine if he hit somebody out on the highway? Trust me, the joke would be over then. People get away with unsafe vehicles every day around here, but that thing would get me thrown in jail.

I have seen those things driven in to local car shows,no registration, so no insurance and some of the guys I know. They put mowing machine sickel bars, shovels, pichforks and any number of sharp tools you may find on a farm on the front sides ect. for bumpers. open exuast straight up off the engine about 24 " and back in though the 'no glass' windshield area. Thats with the wife and little kids in the car . No seatbelts even for the kids. Yet the mom thats got one to many kids in her van with no belt gets pulled over. Well, i will shut up, theres not much i can do about it.
