    A couple observations on this post, that trailer ball deal must be a suicide front end, because with that set up it looks like he's trying to kill himself and why does the rear engined flathead have 8 exhaust pipes? WTF is right.

    Excuse me gentlemen but whoever built the Stude-mino was doing it his way, just look at the license plate. Ergo, who are we to judge it outside of his little cosmos? Who are we to say that this guy has all of his taste in his mouth? I would suggest that we just overlook it and give the owner a soccer trophy. :rolleyes:

    WTF indeed....

    The Lincoln looks like something the cartoonists for the Jetsons designed for George to "fly". Advice for would-be automobile re-stylists: Do NOT get your ideas from futuristic space cartoon shows.

    Good thing it has a small gas tank...less fire at the crash site. I cannot believe those tires could hold up to that engine's HP.

    Not really a rod but you'd be surprised what they make into 4x's around Missouri and Iowa.

    Not exactly hot, not exactly a rod, but certainly WTF. At least you can really sit back and relax during rush hour!

    It's even got artilleries on it. Somebody thought this was a good idea.

    Then there's this thing. The really horrible part of this is that this was a kit that someone made and people bought them.

  25. Better yet, the guy has a patent on it and is willing to sue you over it.
