Cold-blooded murder of an RPU

You all may have noticed this Ebay disaster but if not here's an example of how to turn an innocent Model A pickup into a hideously ugly POS.

Agreed, but definitely saveable. First thing I'd go after is that interior... Them purple flames ain't too bad, bed with the moon tank's pretty nice.

 

it must belong to Jethro Bodine.

 

Well, it IS the nicest looking Sunbird I've ever seen!

 

yea i agree wasn't this one on the beverly hillbillies?

 

WTF, I dont think a moontank makes up for the sunbird under that body.

 

I think this qualifies for greasball's cheap hotrod.

and I bet it would look ten times mo-betta with just some bigger rear wheels and tires.
A couple weeks ago I saw what looked like a full fendered but channeled Model T street rod that from 40 ft away looked right, sat right, had the right ratio of big & littles but when I checked it out closer It was pretty much a T body,a steel T body perched on top of what looked like a Datsun/Nissan truck frame.

So what if it isn't "All the right parts" somebody had fun putting it together, and someone else will probably have fun driving it a while.
It's not religion, it's just a car.

 

Funny as hell how every picture has the rearend down the slope of the driveway so it doesn't appear to sit so high in the rear.

 

Hey thats Jugheads car from the Archies.

 

I'm sure the sheet metal could be saved,

but I'm not sure if the sheet metal alone would be worth the price.

the rest is scrap.

Compared to his daily driver next to it (Geo Metro) that thing IS a high performance hot rod to him.

 

I'll drive my Metro any day over THAT mess!!

(And to think, a buddy of mine just junked a Sunbird... )

Too bad you taste in rods is note as picky as your taste in magazines! Here's the deal- you don't tell magazine editors how to run their magazines and they won't tell you how off your sense of STYLE is. That thing is F%(#ING***** UGLY and will NEVER look good- too bad you can't see that "MR. DESIGN"
It cracks me up that you want to be this HUGE sorce of how things should and shouldn't be BECAUSE YOU SAY SO, but you say that rolling turd isn't so bad. Whatever dude!

 

Bless you RedondoRodder.

 

did somebody step on a duck?
