Smile The Ultimate Home Made Car

ALL YOU BOYS OUT THERE WILL LOVE THIS BEAST.

http://investorshangout.com/post/view?id=112891


Only in the USA



Must be an old farmer who quit farming and started building. Thought you might enjoy seeing this contraption, and it provides some inspiration for future projects to finish clearing out all those storage buildings and garages.



This is the exact and perfect example of why we save everything.


This car has been built with all of the “junk” laying out back in the pile, and under the work bench, and stuffed in the rafters. All this guy needed was a little time on his hands.

Spotted in Cannon Falls, MN on 5/23/12 – It’s a car? or a truck?
