This is at a used car lot on Hwy 169 by Belle Plain, MN. Not mine and I'm not helping anyone out. Just thought the curious may want to see it for themselves. Personally, even if it had been done better, I don't care for it. But to each his own...

He built it one piece at a time and it didn't cost him a dime!! It's a 67,68,69,70,71, 72,91,94,96,97,98 something automobile

Walts_restoration · 08-15-2007, 08:01 PM

its got 80-81 camaro vents haha

Moneypit · 08-15-2007, 08:07 PM

Actually if you removed the mustang sticker, the dodge V8 magnum badge and the "C" scoop in between it would look a lot better. A few other details like rolling the front wheel well to better match the rear and replacing the wheels/tires, to name a few, and I think it would make a pretty nice truck. It definitely was only done half-assed(read better than I could do) but it should clean up to a good looking ride, and it is definitely different. He could have always put a F-150 front clip on it.

I bet you can't stick a magnet to any part of that bondo buggy!

Yeh, but look at the block sanding that went into it......

**SactoJim** · 08-15-2007, 08:33 PM

I didn't realize you could buy "bondo" in 55 gallon drums.

Actually took me a minute to realize what that really was!!......I then crapped a twinky!!!

msgross · 08-15-2007, 08:44 PM

It's more like one of those morphing pictures where a 67 turns into a 97! Except this picture stalled in the middle!

*ksjh1316* · 08-15-2007, 08:49 PM

It also mutated a little bit and grew gome Dodge and F*rd parts

67Fleet · 08-15-2007, 08:52 PM

I'm surprised that thing made it all the way from Mexico to Minnesota.....

**Palf70Step** · 08-15-2007, 09:35 PM

I have seen a lot worse. Those few little trim pieces mentioned above definitely look out of place.

It is the thought that counts

Sport/Truck · 08-15-2007, 09:41 PM

OH MAN!!!! I’m going to send you some $$ so you can send it to the scrap yard! LMAO
s/t

**LEEVON** · 08-15-2007, 10:39 PM

I think it needs some 3/4 ton front springs to hold up all that bondo. It looks to be sagging a bit.

class01 · 08-15-2007, 10:42 PM

terrible

its pretty fugly..

ChevLoRay · 08-15-2007, 11:24 PM

Somewhere, someone is smiling because of the work he put into creating this thing, thinking it is the greatest thing anyone ever did.

Then, it makes me think of the phrase we used to use about it "looking like the afterbirth of a grudge ...."

timzrides · 08-15-2007, 11:45 PM

$3,895....is that all?

i think i just threw up in my mouth a little

Scott Webster · 08-16-2007, 10:56 PM

I can't tell if that hood is wavy on the passenger side from bondo or beating it with an old 2x4. I definitely have to look at some other rides before I go to bed so I don't have nightmares!!!

milehightoyz · 08-16-2007, 11:34 PM

wowza, thats just wrong.....i think i like the newer body style better:
