The Project

(and Jalopnik as well, where the voting is generally positive)

Your opinions? I'm in favor of, generally. Nice hardware, can live with looks, and great price. Plus no guilt in driving it.

I like the rear rims the most.
I thought behind was a modded Bug.

Interesting metal fab work there. The cut-down windshield is what really sells it. I approve! (and I normally don't like cutting up classic cars.) and it's almost challenge priced.....

I don't like El Caminos. That one, I'd rock.

Remember the one they drove below decks on the "Smoker's" tanker in Water World? No, you wouldn't, it was a terrible movie and no one saw nor remembers it, you're right. I dig, though.

This needs a hastily applied rattle can job and a machine gun, but I rather like how it is. Could be better in a solid color.

I loved that movie. I also loved the Postman. There is even a tie in in Water World to the Postman.

A friend has a cab from one of them that the original owner did have something in the bed when the truck came to a sudden stop. It held up much better than you would think. Eventually the cab will find its way onto another chassis.

And that Camino doesn't look bad from the profile shots.

I like it except for the roll bar. It needs to be stylized some how; either not so boxy looking or something...
