Ugly ass customs, post pics here.

No,not really. Hands with arthiritis,LOL!!!
Looks like one of those wood chippers the city pulls behind the tree trucks...

 

That Vette was designed by and built for (Not sure if it was by him) Tom Daniels, the most prolific model designer of the 60's and 70's. I agree its ugly but its by an early version of Foose.

 

Easy now! That's the famous "Halloween Merc". Back off man....

How you been,Hotroddaddy? Haven't heard from you for a while

Ive been good bob, been working on the new ride some, cleaning up the frame trying to get her back together. Most of you will be happy to know, the merc has a new home. Maybe if your lucky the new owner will think like you guys, and change it, but wait till you see what i do with the new 53 ford panel truck, hahaha!

 

I thought the vette was runner up a gnrs this year. that's about the quality of cars that win anymore.

 

Damn you Kirk, now I'm gonna have nightmares!

Not a custom but this pic belongs on here..........

 

A masterpiece like this looks deceptively easy. You would say "Anyone can do that!" but you would be wrong, oh, so wrong.
Adding to it's pedigree as a work of genius is that it looks familiar and yet alien at the same time. Is it an airport tug crossed with a '70s Tripper Van? Maybe a University Plant Service Suzuki cross-pollinated with a Meyer's Manx?
It's hurts to ponder this.

 

what up hotroddaddy long time no see dude.. i always liked the skull merc maybe you should post some pics of what you started with..

 

Great! Can't wait to see how it evolves. Make sure to post pic's(not on this thread...of course,LOL!!!)

 

Why is the Corvette Summer car right hand drive? I never noticed that before (well maybe I did when I was 7 years old). I take it by the recent looking picture that it still exists and has a proud owner somewhere.

PS: I knew it was David Carradine in Death Race 2000! A fine cinematic actor if there ever was one.

 

Could you imagine driving around in the mask that David Carradine wore in Deathrace 2000?

 

Kirk...All those pics seem to have NYC, PA, and Jersey tags...
Pretty accurate assesment of my little corner of hot rod isolation.
ohhh...the shame.
You'll see it all here.

 

Kirk, you win for best photos in this thread.

I love the crappy 'artwork' painted on the cars.

And you're right, wizards ARE always cool!

 

About 15 or may 19 years ago I saw this abortion in Sydney in the back of a warehouse in petersham ( I think) it's even fuglier in real life!!! I have no idea how it came to be in Australia or even if it is still here.

 

woh dude isnt that like totally the car from "corvette summer".

 

One From New Zealand ..where ugly cunstoms never existed .
Phil Martins Valiant with holden grille and Falcon(?) hood ,Custom paint and worked 225 SL6... cool aZ bro!!! real Choyyyce!

 

i seriously want a copy of this on vhs or dvd. heck i'll take the beta version if i have to, haha. i love old crappy movies.

 

uhm... We have a winner.

 

Something is funky with either the photo of the Corvette Summer car or the video. Check the hood scoop inlet things. In the video the ones on the right side face up, in the photo they face up on the left. Plus the exhaust on the one in the video comes out of the fender, the one in the photo doesn't.

Actually the one pictured previously must be a clone. Here's a still from the movie. The hood scoop is totally different.

From the movie.



From previous posts.

 

Well if you are going to clone a car this would be the obvious choice

 

heres what is suposed to be the real car .off the corvette summer web page

 

Yep, different scoop and sidepipes.

 

That guy in the video really needs to wash his hair.

 

In the movie he said he wanted it to be right hand drive. Who knows the actual reason.

Found this:
The Corvette was a 1973 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray converted to right hand drive so that Mark Hamill could hang out of the curbside window looking at the ladies. Mark Hamill was badly injured in an automobile wreck in Malibu, California prior to production.

 

Judging by the rest of the shit box, I'ld say stupidity!-MIKE

 

Mid-America Motorworks now owns it along with the vette in DeathRace 2000.

The first time I seen a pic of it, I hated it. I've grown to like it though and can appreciate the work that was put into it. There have been a lot of clones done of that car.

 

I wonder how many times they ripped the air dam off the front while doing the chase scenes through the dirt?

 

not enough ...they still fixed it!!!

 

So basically there are two ass ugly corvettes out there somewhere that are identical (almost) whats this world coming to?

 

Sorry to say but there is a 'Corvette Summer' sub culture and quite a few replicas out there.
Mercmad,
What warehouse? Lets burn it down before the beast can escape and pollute out perfect ugly custom-less roads..............

 

this makes the Vette look good
