Is that a bunk bed headboard? Looks like it would be painful in a crash. Love it.

You know, the essence of a good rat rod is that it takes a trashcan load of seemingly incompatible parts that somehow result in a cohesive and in some way appealing vehicle.
This one fails miserably at that, IMO. A lotta effort with zero result. It's more of a joke of a vehicle that a proper rat rod. And YOWSA! $5500!!! Are you kidding me!!!!

Love the mesh wing:

Overall, not a bad use for a 383 4-door C-body.

I don't think it's supposed to be.

More of a joke car, which is probably not a bad application, considering what it is.

I'm betting a fair amount of beverages were consumed during the build.

Agreed.

We watched DeathProof the other night, and now I have a strong desire to build a V8 E30 in the same vain.
