What was the Previous Owner Thinking?!?!?!

Is there anyone else that gets furious when thinking about what the previous owner has done to your truck?

The PO of my truck (and the shop here in Vegas doing some of his work) seemed to have been dropped on their heads a bunch when they were babies. Too many dollars and not enough sense.

For example:
1. Cutting the front crossmember to clear the oil pan, leaving only 1/4" of material in 4 places (pictures attached)
2. Cutting a hole in the center of the bed for the gas cap of a fuel cell.
3. Screwing up a Painless wiring setup (how does this happen?!)
4. Using wheel spacers to fix backspacing issues, leaving only 4 threads to hold on a set of 35" tires.
5. Buys a RamJet 350, can't figure out the fuel injection needs so unbolts it and throws it away in favor of a way oversized carb.
6. Using a fuel injection electric fuel pump at 60 psi, plumbed to a carb that requires only 6 psi.
7. Pulls spark plug wires off with need nose pliers, tearing the boots and causing spark jump to the headers.
8. Pinion angles way off.

The list goes on and on and on...
