you tell me what they were thinking

this is something my uncle picked up. it is a 30 31 body but the frame is a 57 chevy with a 58 chevy rear suspension. parts of the body actually pretty solid.

 

Well, at least they stopped there, huh? What are your plans. Did they start with a coupe? How badly chopped up is it?

 

Those big ugly control arms look awful, I mean if they were going to leave the front like that

 

I'd say they weren't thinking?

 

not my car my uncels. ya i beleave it was a coupe. the doors are no good now. the trunk is good. the floor is from the chevy. ther is round tubing welded in were the top was

 

Some people shouldn't be allowed to play with cars.

 

my guess is that alcohol interfered with all thought processes on this one.

 

....... and this is your brain on drugs.

 

Welll looks like a "what do we have laying around the back yard we can build a rod out of " situation

 

I hate it when people waste good cars like that.

 

Hold my beer, p*** the gas axe and watch this..........YEEHAA!

 

looks like a candidate for 409/blower, 34 grill laid way back and a bigger pair of headlights mounted out by the arms. Not quite your everyday ride but at least it isn't a cookie cutter 30/31, 32 either.

 

hey i kinda like it, if the windshield was layed back a little it would look awesome. i actually know a guy who built a 30 roadster using tri-5 front suspension and it looked awesome

 

anyone intersted he'll sell it

 

They weren't thinking. They were building.

 

maybe someone should take it out to the pasture and put it out of its misery

 

How much???? PM me.....

 

Whats he want for it?

 

Its an abomination!

 

Looks to me like they might have been thinking along the 'cartoon car' lines. Those low-slung headlights poking out from between a pair of highly modified front guards, (which would have also covered the front end) the cut out doors and the extreme rake would signal something right out of the box design-wise to me.

Cheers, Glen.

 

thats hotrodding workwith what ya got!!!!!!!!!

 

How about a warning before you post pics like that.

 

"That's a neat dune buggy"

 

Is that siren I see on there

 

I got crucified on here for asking the same question last week. Don't you know it's not nice to ask "what were they thinking?".

 

When was it built ? Could have been cool at that time. The builder probably used what he had.

 

OSR may want to do a feature on it!

This is definitely one for the "a'drinkin' and a'weldin'" files.

 

I think I just threw up in my mouth--------

 

Looks like an early Boyd car or a reject from Grease.
