Or a bitchin trailer. Or a rad camper. You would dominate the campground at Oshkosh with that.

I'd make it driveable & road worthy enough to haul my car around with.

Sawzall + chevy c30 chassis + that = coolest car hauler in the harbor freight parking lot.

 

I like it a lot.

If you read the ad, it comes with wings and engines too.  No props.

Perfect to convert to a motorhome and let the Brinks truck drive right in on the freeway after the heist.

It's bigger than I thought. 58ft long X 16ft tall.  Lets say you whack 3ft. off by putting in on the deck, you still won't clear some bridges at 13 feet.  Oh, blind spots?

I wonder what kind of homebuilt experimental you build with those parts?

I agree a motorhome is the best use of that. And sell the wings and motors to recoup. 

The drop tail area makes a perfect toy hauler section that is also a covered porch/patio. I bet the body is quite a bit lighter and more watertight than most motorhomes. 

Dang, what a cool project that would be if I were retired and looking to tour the US.

I think this should be the entrance to your secret batcave- embed it nose first in the side of a mountain as if it lawn-darted its' way in there, but when you hit the button the ramp drops to reveal a long tunnel down to the ultimate subterranean workshop.

If you drive out of the tunnel fast do you catch air leaving the 'entrance'?

Is there some other way to exit a batcave that I'm not aware of?

13’6” is max height without permit. Granted not all 2 lane roads, but not hard to work around.

46 1/2 feet long, 12’ 10” at top of ac shroud.  Totally at home on interstate, but it would shock a bunch of folks some of the backwoods places he’s been! Lots of blind dots, but ya live in your mirrors!!! And remember G. O. A. L. ( get out and look)

so far nobody’s cussed me for holding up traffic for a 3 point turn

Cool vehicles, and friendly waves, do help!

My first trip into S. Miami for work, I was driving my 48 CabOver... I was able to go into some rougher areas, getting thumbs up instead of ugly glares!
