Creative? Artistic? or ?Junki?

Wow! It's sort of barn meets junk shed meets outhouse with many other innovations thrown in!!!:LOL::LOL: I'm curious if the toilet seats are functional and what effect that might have on the sub woofers....:eek::eek:
How about those "hide-away" head lights?? And he's milkin' that aircleaner for all it worth....:LOL::LOL:
-
Artistic? No Creative? Yes
He is so close....lose the wheels and tires and put some implement wheels/tires on it. Get rid of the Vortec engine and put an industrial engine in there.....even a flathead six would look more appropriate. He did what most car builders do....lose track of the theme and start mixing newer stuff in. Steering wheel would be tough on the twig and berries if you got too close. Wash tub fan shroud is neat idea.
-
No, No, and a resounding Yes. I only hope that the guy has a good trailer to get from point A to B, and would pray for a lightning strike to set it afire.:LOL::LOL::LOL:
-
Definitely different that is for sure and not my cup of tea. What caught my eye was the thing on the back of the tractor sleeper unit, it looks like some sort of separate air conditioning unit but more for a reefer trailer then the flat top he is pulling there. Any idea guys?
-
Hmmmm....it WOODEN be allowed on our roads,at all..The hideaway headlights are kool,,and it has a certain''no bull''attitude.;).Personally,I think it would be a right COW of a thing to drive with that wheel,,its sort of not me..and he could have used anUDDER :D aircleaner,too..He's definitely milked it for what it's worth...The rear end has been COMBINED with the rest rather well,and the dunny seats look too modern,,:LOL:All in all,,it sorta looks,umm,rather agricultural,,,doesn't it??:whacked:
(Runs and hides...indefinitely...)

Well................ what else can you do with an old used up manure spreader?!?!? That's what it started out as and it's STILL performing that function! I'll admit they have a sense of humor.
-
Yep.The body is definitely a manure spreader. Whilist I wouldn't drive it ( not a chance, never ) but I can't help from smile looking at it.. It was probably built to take to tractor shows, given it's pretty much built of farm scrap. I bet the chassis was an old farm truck.

Total folk art. Pure Americana.
Thumbs up, but I ain't riding in it.

Since you asked, JMO, it's pure junk. I think Roger said it best!!

It's a motorized junk shed....
-
I wonder what its titled as? Id be a little afraid of that saw for a dashboard; one fenderbender and your legs are history.
-
I would guess it's titled as what the chassis is.. S10 I think?
-
Dumb.......................

Hmmmmm, just as I suspected - - - just as many opinions and entertaining comments as there are odd parts on the Rat Rod. However, I do like the way he managed to use many farm related parts to form some of the functional parts of the ride especially the hames, pitchfork and tractor throne seats - - - - the udder and milking it comment from Robin was likewise creative. You know this is kinda reminiscent of some of the iron work sculptures that you see at various flee markets and resale shops these days.

To each his own :rolleyes:

"reminiscent of some of the iron work sculptures that you see at various flee markets and resale shops these days."
That can be said about it, the usage of some parts are interesting, would this be a crap rod?
I knew a used car salesman his tag line "there is an ass for every seat".
-
I really think it was built for a farm tractor show. They will build anything to show off the old iron, and it's built from stuff that, much of it would be in the scrap yard or still in the field if it wasn't on this car, and that stuff is a part of our history. I don't think it was built to be stylish, but rather 'showcase' yesteryear.
Kind of like this car

Well said, Matt, after all "old iron needs love too"
-
the difference between the 2 "vehicles" tho'... 1 is meant to be driven on the street and taken to shows / cruise-ins etc.. the second is hauled to a show and driven around the grounds once in a while...
Big Difference!
-
what you wanna bet that both of those are Daily Drivers ??? :LOL::LOL::LOL:
-
Speakin' from experience Mello?? HAH! ROFL...... :LOL::LOL:
-
hahaha, yuppers but it's been a few years

The '65 Rambler American I had, was majorly worn out. Bearing where the column went into the steering box was bad and the box had a hole in it there. Trunions were majorly worn out, and it threw off the caster so bad, that the steering wheel would not return to center. I drove that for a month or so before I decided it had to go, and I sold it for what I had in it.. It stopped straight and tracked a straight line, but the engine barely pulled enough vac at idle to keep it running, and it burned a quart of oil in 400 miles

That would make a good New Topic Thread
"The beaters Ive known and driven" hahahaha
