Yeah, but you go have got to give them 10/10 for thier fabrication work. Like it says, its all done in sheet metal, not fibreglass.

 I think someone was ****ed when they mounted the number plate. Wow no fiberglass all steel thats gotta kill the 1.5's performance if the twin pipes dont. Some one send him or the winning bidder a ricer infringement notice.

It's probably 5 seconds slower down the quarter with all the ricer addons. He's got a braided fuel line running through the rear of the cabin as he relocated the fuel filler to the roof. That and the big 10000 RPM tacho - for an engine that revs to 7000 (?) RPM if it's lucky

Let me just say , yes it is very rice , but by the same token, It is also a work of art ! To do that in STEEL, is a hell of a lot of work , and would take some serious skill !

Yeah its clever with all the steel and that. But its auto. And the interior is stock. And the engine bay is a huge let down.

Who cares if it's auto or stock engine + interior..
It's obviously done purely for the metal fabrication and THAT aspect is undeniably impressive even though I don't like the look of it. Gotta respect the skill in it all. Plus, it's a perfect base for someone who's into that kind of car to take it.. give it a crazy interior.. a decent engine/trans.. and you got yourself a ricer-show-car.. I mean you guys are happy to buy an old ford with a crappy engine but straight body because you know you can just change the engine and have a nice package right? It's the same deal, just riced  Personally I think it's ugly but each to their own. |
