    S-10 wheels, probably on an s-10 chassis.

    probably built in a one car garage and he never took it out side to look at it until he was done. by then it was too late

  5. I'm sorry, I don't like bashing somebody's handiwork but there's no way to sugar coat it, that thing is just terrible. Took 2 good looking vehicles and turned them into one that's not. Whoever built it clearly has some build skills but desperately needs help in the design area. It's a shame, there was a lot of time put into that.

    That post #19 bird is pretty nice. There are customs that are just weird and apparently appeals to whoever did it.

    A lot of craftsmanship there. Looks like 3 to 4 different vehicles involved. Too long from rear wheel well back for me. Got to hand it to them for the work they did, but not my cup of tea.

    The image has a lot of compression artifacts and is not particularly high resolution I could hardly find my way around it but I managed to do a light Photochop to the top and probably 4-6" of section to the body and a drop to the front suspension.

  13. The back view was a little easier to cut on. Roughly the same cuts.

    Working with Patmanta's sectioned version, here's another with a shorter rear overhang and opening up the back of the box. I'd like to see this version with real paint and proper wheels and details, but I don't have the GIMP skills to pull that off. Not to mention, the quality of the photo is shit.

    And this is why the early designers actually put pen/pencil to paper before hand.
    Nowadays photoshop should be the starting point.

    A lot of young guys on this forum dont understand where visors fit into the story of the automobile. Hint: its not Customs or traditional hotrods.

    I think that guy must have followed Johnny Cash’s instructions and got it one piece at a time. Problem was, he got fired before he got all the parts, so he had to start over at a different company plant. Got fired there, too, and this is what he ended up with.
    Stealing car parts will get you fired every time you’re caught....
