Yeah...its out there, but it has nicer proportions than a lot of cars I've seen! Hard to judge the actual size of the beast because its so proportional. I think its cool. Get rid of the "barrel" and build something more trad looking... A little work around the windshield, fix up the roof or even build a low hardtop instead of the rag... You could make that work. Love the BIG engine stuff more and more. Imagine something along those lines tearing down the highway at speed. Sends a chill right up my spine! Skulls and spiderwebs can only take intimidation so far... Something like this has the potential to kick it into a whole new dimension! LoL "RAT RIG"(tm)
I love it! The only thing I would change would be the top. I have placed a self imposed ban from EBay on myself for fear my poor impulse control would bankrupt me, but that might be too damn tempting if the price is right...
A friend of mine tells me it was built by the guy who built that 'rolling art piece' that was at Viva last year, the thing with the huge engine & iron crosses everywhere... Der Zeitgeist it was called... Dave
The car was built by Ian Russel . Anyway it has been in my local "Cl***ic car trader" for the better part of the year. He was asking $8500.- for it. Sometimes people have to much time on there hands
I like the proportions and the idea of using a White motor. Those metal flames at the shell look like they would be a pain to have to work around
