    I can save it, but before I roll it into the shop I need to order a 40 yard dumpster.

    I think the body and headlights are salvagable. Other than that.........

    get rid of the corvette suspension, give it some axles, new wheels and tires, change the grill shell, and get rid of that crap on the engine

    other than the wheels and the skull I am pretty sure I have seen similar cars posted by HAMB members. Not everybody likes other peoples styles, but I give him credit for doing it, Taste be damned!

    Ummm. Nice bus. You could haul paint it black with a big #3 on the side and it would fit in here in Michigan. Make sure you put a platform on the top with a ladder and railing so when you are sitting in your lounge chair on turn 3 you don't fall out.

    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre door panel treatment is subtle, yet gruesome. I like it.:eek:

    This is the car that some moron took from ditch to ditch and in to the fence at the Denison KKOA show in october.It swaped ditches about four times and almost went up in the trees before coming to rest against the fence next to other car show cars.All because this moron wanted to do a high speed burnout right outside the exit gate after trying to look tough and giving everyone the fuck you eye all day. The whole thing was almost as funny as the car.

    Gothic Rat-Rod...Different. I won't lay my opinions on it, that would be disrespectful to the builder. After all, he built it to his taste, not mine. I will tip my hat to him for having the gonads to be different.

    it's like they wanted to do a "street rodder" type of car, but couldn't bother with bodywork or decent welding. Why all the work on the vette suspension, just to take a big ol shit on the body? You could probably unload the chassis on someone, and get enough money to build a simpler more traditional one.

    Loose the wheels and grille and a few other attachments and drive the wheels off it. It would be a blast to drive especially if your other car is apart all over the garage.
