Who helped him do the top of that C cab? Way to complex of a curve.

I look at these type of vehicle the same way I do art. I might not appreciate it, but someone somewhere does. Pretty sure they wouldn't like some of the stuff I do, so it's a wash. 

Donks, Southern Squat, Bosozoku, hella flush, lowriders, are all useless to me, but I don't think they shouldn't exist. They are all guys and gals playing with cars. That's not a bad thing.

yeah even as immovable lawn art the neighborhood kids will love this thing as opposed to whatever piece of plastic game console is in front of their television.  It probably needs a rotary though to be cool as a manner of hoontastic conveyance like the antithesis of a coal roller which admittedly the movie Convoy was all about.  smiley

Hell, even the fabric on the seat looks like diamond plate.

If that is fabric...

I don't hate that. It's not quite good, but it's not exactly bad either. It has box flares! If every BMW X4 were replaced with one of these, the world would be a better place.

I wouldn't call it common - I've never seen one before.

Its not bad, and from the looks of it was done in the 70s or early 80s.

In reply to 93gsxturbo :

The ones I've seen were made less than 5 years ago, and in a completely different part of the country. Maybe it's a weird scene populated by retirees that we don't know about. It has to be. Things that look like this pop up way too often.

You know, maybe this is tied to the Dunning-Kruger effect?

The builder would have got along good with the previous owner of my CJ5.  His philosophy was "diamond plate all the things!"

Yeah, I hate sheet metal brakes. The rotors warp way too easily!

I imagine the top is a flat piece.  Just fed through a roller to get the shape close, then forced into place with a welder to tack along the way.
