I live in a pleasant suburban neighborhood. Does anyone else fantasize about having a car like this and an alter-ego to go with it? Come home, remove the collared shirt, roll up some cigs in the t-shirt sleeve, throw on the shades and call yourself "Vinny"?

The second I have enough income to secure shop space, I'm going to suicide axle, RWD, rear tires completely outside the body, and maybe supercharge, a 4.0 liter square headlight jeep wrangler and drive it up and down Woodward Avenue for similar effect.

The 4-Wheel & Off Road guys are great. David Freiberger is a GRM type for sure.

Too far?

Too far in the Donk direction.

Tasteful IMHO.

Uhhhhhh..... Huh?

I agree. At some point, there's a distinction between rat rods and hot rods that simply wear primer. They're not the same thing, and this is one of the latter.

And oh, how I love Beetles done up like that!

Silly S-10 again.

Harly folk have a subculture called Rat Bikes where you bolt anything & everything to a bike and never wash it. This is a car version.
