No words for that one, except that sometimes we should just keep our "good ideas" in our heads and not try to actually build them.

That's a Da-Fuq. I've seen their custom work before.

What do you do? Google ugly POS vehicles every day?  Thanks for the daily dose of humor though, you deserve your own topic.

They had me in the first half not gonna lie.

For a total home job the back isn't bad.  I can't be the only one here who wants to swap it to the 4 wheeled pan and run it in the challenge right?

It needs the nose cutoff and a Morgan 3 wheeler style air cooled vtwin on the front.

It isn't the prettiest thing I have laid eyes on. It looks like it may have been built to haul behind a camper, see the trailer hitch mount? If that is the case it probably did that job really well and gave John Q traveler something weird to bomb around the local towns in.

Home-built 3-wheeled automobiles with questionable centers of gravity? I'd find it a hell of a lot more entertaining than F1.

I just really like the idea of having a talented group of fabricators who buy these derelict projects that seem to always be available and see if they can make them Racecar.  I'm assuming that was the idea. 

Sort of like that DiResta "Making Fun" show but with racecars.

There was a property in Surrey around 132 ST and 84 Ave that all kinds of rusting hulks and that looks like something that could be built with a torch, a welder, and whole of imagination, and mushrooms lots of mushrooms.
