Still crazy after all these years!
As found in the Windy Hill junkyard 3 years ago. Drove it on the street and drag raced it a year later.

It's in the garage for a higher horsepower engine and some other upgrades this winter.

RoddingRod, is that a Holmes wrecker in your pictures? If it is then my father built that truck sometime in the late 70's-early 80's.

[cl to all you guys [cl Awsome work.
Here is mine, nothing like the work like most others had to do. It was a gutted body that had been passed around for parts and was heading to the shredder.
I chopped it 5 1/2 inches, extended the front suspension 10 inches, hand made the front apron, bobbed the rear and hand made the sides on the rear, the dash is part of a hood from a bug, 1957 Porsche wheels that I had for 20+ years had the rears widened to 10 inches, new complete brake system and floor pans. I wanted to build somthing diffrent and low budget. I have less then $2000.00 in it.
