Because it takes so much craftsmanship, fabrication, and effort to throw on some drop shackles, KYBs, and low-pro tires on and "do it right," yeah?




Not really trying to pick a fight, but I'm guessing there's a shitload of work in that car.

There well may be a shitload of work in it.
I get to think it looks like shit.
You get to think it's cool.
We're both happy.

I am by NO means a good paint and body guy. I have to pay others.
I find it amazing that we (the car enthusiast community) have gone from celebrating skilled customizing and body work to putting shit like this on a pedestal.

Love the cool old vintage photos. Shelby towing a Shelby and the first one with the vintage mods on it is bad ass.

You don't have to love the look, but that is a rolling project with a ton of bad ass fabrication. For instance, as far as I know, the fenders are temporary so he can drive the crap out of it while it's being built. (LS, custom chassis, chopped top, etc)

Personally, I think it's crazy and while not what I would do, pretty damn cool.

Edit: oh yeah, and those shiny doors... he built them out of a single sheet of aluminum.
