well... I don't understand his level of crazy, but I admire his total commitment to it...

He definitely put some time into it.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
i think it is neat. the whole thing is just off enough to appreciate the huge amount of detail in the insanity that it is.

If he has enough engine to justify his carb (very wild for that small of CID) and actually uses it he is going to shred the toothpicks he has for an axle is what I was getting at.
Well in his description he says its a 5 time Hot Rod power tour participant. So it has lasted this long.

It looks like they put a '01 Ranger Edge grill on a Escape bumper with a 6" extension to give the grill that funny rake.
Looks like an Edge grille and "bugeye" Subaru WRX bumper to me.

I poop in the furnace.
If I was a billionaire I would have a youtube channel where all I do is buy cars and trucks like this and immediately have them crushed in front of the previous owner...

A traveling car show is probably pretty taxing...

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
It's too gaudy for me, I'd rather see an exceptionally well done plain looking truck. A possibly hot 347 in front of a 7.5 with drag radials screams fairgrounds queen to me. It rump-rumps around the car show then drives home at 40 mph or gets loaded on a trailer.

Agree to their price, show up at their place, pay them, and then this suddenly pulls down their road on two large semi trailers:


If it were me, I'd just start buying every single Ford 2.9 V6 I could find and shred them all while having a few cold beers..
