I don't care WTF you say.. That thing has potential. Get an early hood graft it on like a heb or maybe even turn the luggage tray into a rumble seat!  If I had the money I'd buy it and finish it just to piss you lot off!

If you had the money you probably wouldn't be here but on the bimmer forum, or on a date with your non-inflatable girlfriend! |

It's probably been on here before, but at nearly 1900 pages I'm not checking.
This showed up to Bug-o-rama on Sunday. I wouldn't want to be near that if it ever caught on fire. That crushed velvet would get toasty.

I really wonder how stable that is. I have seen pictures of it on the highway, so I guess it cannot be that bad.
But you do have to watch for hop-ons lol |

The one in the highway pics are an entirely different one. The guy that owns the one you've seen in the highway pics lives right down the road from me and his is Corvair powered.

I am only halfway through my first cup of coffee......Working through how that could have been a little better.....More accurate "stage coach", little beefier front end....OMG - Mom was right - all those fumes from model glue building Barris based kits when I was a kid is catching up with me .....

I would actually expect a little more that that - depending on the amount of steel and the thickness of the wood.......

Maybe they used Balsa?
If they added horses it could be considered a hybrid.
