Maybe a New GR Trend?

Dumpster Racing?

An empty dumpster weighs close to 600lbs, so that's not the best thing to use as a car body...

In reply to GameboyRMH:

You're seriously attempting to apply logic to this picture? Besides, they race motorhomes and class 8 tractors, and this is something you don't have to worry about damaging.

Roadster-Dumpster? Looks like British Racing Green.

If that ran on recycled vegetable oil...

Just a shade weirder than a Zamboni

rototiller racing..

GET SOME!

I designed a few dumpsters during another "career," I can't say I'd want to take any kind of impact while inside one. Dumpster building is a cut throat business, super thin profit margins, bottom dollar, thinnest material you can get away with, and the bare minimum structure required to lift and dump.

Dumpster lids make excellent sleds though.

Did you notice the functional rear brake cooling ducts?

I like the sides better than the ones on the Catfish

I'm pretty sure this picture is in the for sale area at one of the Goodguys shows at a NASCAR track. Charlotte, maybe.

Anyway, it's just the natural evolution of the rat rod.

Somehow I doubt if this is OSHA approved.

I love America!

The lawn furniture interior (three seat glider) is a nice touch.

That looks just a bit.....unsafe.

I LOL'ed at this... I think other may have read over, hats off to you, sir.

Well, the good news is that it's real wheel drive. Rather elegant effort if you ask me.

In reply to NOHOME:

I have no doubt that it would get infinitely more looks and comments at the local cruise than all the '68 camaro's in attendance (I like '68 Camaro's, BTW).

someone was probably digging inside it looking for stupid crap to weld onto their rat rod, and decided just to make it into one.. except it doesn't have a flathead in it, so it's just a poser..
