These "Hoodrides" enjoy increasing popularity for their distinct visual appearance... I fail to see the appeal, I'd hate to get rust on my hands everytime I touch just about any part of the car, not to mention the damage to the surface, and eventually substance.
To much plastic surgery, its the Joan Rivers of the automotive world.
Extreme camber is silly, and it looks like it had an unfortunate disagreement with a silage tanker, not so sure about the combination of shiny gold wheels with the 'rat rod' look either, poor thing, what was wrong with it before?
That car has changed so much in the stance and build 'round the world; word is out on that car, it's amazing how much attention it has gotten, but then again it's well deserved!
I hadn't seen the entire build thread, thanks for linking this! I've been curious about it since I've seen plenty of pictures of how it is today.. I think it's gorgeous.
craftsmanship is amazing too.
Love it or hate it.. it's incredible how much work has gone into that car.
He could have done the same with an elephant to stomp on it, and a flock of pigeon to shit on it....that roof rack looks like the camera crew have forgot to take their stuff off before the shoot.
He took a nice car, beat it's head against the wall far too many times and made it retarded, I've had bowel movements that look better than his finished product.
craftsmanship didn't look all that great, the body was straight when he bought it, and the front valance was missing half the parts/hanging crooked in all the iterations, like he was going to shave it, but then didn't. Rusting the hood, adding a roof rack, and dropping it don't require any special craftsmanship either...
I did skip a lot. After reading it all the way through, I can say I could dig it all the way up until the toyota engine. I would have thought it was better if it mixed the paintless body and WWII graphics with flawless bumpers, door handles, interior, etc.
then again its not about what I think, its his car.
