Or why plumbers should not do airbags. Saw this at a car show this weekend!! Home Depot's finest. Dig the shock towers: 1" tubing with 2 nuts "welded" to it. One question: WHY?
That is just so ****ing scary. And realize that the general public will lump the rest of us in with him since "we all drive old cars" I hope you punched that dude in the back of the neck? Buck Choklit style! (odd reference that bike guys may get)
that is an example of the kinda of **** that will kill this hobby..All it takes is a multi fatality accident caused by that piece of **** coming apart while going down the highway at speed to get the law makers motivated....
I'm surprised the guy isn't dead from carbon monoxide poisoning considering the exhaust pipe emptied out just shy of the back of the front seat on this floorless ride!!!
This is a concept vehicle. Seriously you people are right, that is SCARY and everyone gets branded because of it.
that guy needs some serious help.a cl***ic case of not knowing your limits in fabrication and welding
I see a handle on the air tank, looks like a portable air tank. if so those are not designed for the high air pressure needed in an air ride sys. WOW.
Portable tanks depending on the rating would work. Some of them are rated pretty high so untill i saw the numbers i wouldnt go worrying about that. Im wonderin if the guy has his own shop doing this stuff ??????? The money he saved doing everything half ***ed could go to some really sweet business cards ... Dave
Looks like a leftover from that tv show a few years back called Junkyard Wars...surprised he doesn't use a plunger for a shifter and have toilet seats in it
Did you get any pics of the whole car so that we may "avoid" it at all costs if we see it actually on the road?
I don't know what is worse, the complete lack of engineering, or the pride in showing this **** off at a car show. WOW
The frame tubing looks su****iously like the orange shelf tubing at Home Depot. Maybe he stole the whole shelf when he got the s****y galvanized pipe fittings.
"Dig the shock towers: 1" tubing with 2 nuts "welded" to it. One question: WHY?" Maybe he thought that put it in "double shear"... I'm definetly putting this one in the "how not to do it" file for future cl***es. But, he's drivin' it...good for him. Bad for the rest of humanity...
What does the rest of the car look like? I see a desoto dash, and seems ro be 50's era does anyone have any other picture??????
What a WASTE of ****** money!Laying frame at any cost, even if it looks this ****E.What a *******!!!!!!
