Is it just my browser, or does every picture flicker once on SpeedHunter?

I like it but I'd prefer smaller wheels.

That car is lovely build from what was basically just a rusted out hulk with a VIN. I actually laughed when I saw they took it home in two pieces in the back of a pickup.

Purists be dammed that thing is awesome.

Yeah, this is one of the craziest "before" and "after" pictures I've seen.

Incredible work. I don't think you can put ANY context on the build without seeing the pieces they started with.

Thank you for posting this here- the perfect place for it

Once you've seen the 'free' jag tetanus pile(s) they started with, I'd think the purists would thank them--

This builder started with way, way less than zero.. An incredible project, with an amazing result!

The wheels are too tall, but otherwise that thing is the tits.

The wheels are ludicrous. Otherwise it is pretty neat!

I'm in awe. It's hard to believe where they started and where they ended. The guys at Gas Monkey destroyed one for TV that was in better shape.

Definitely seems like it'd be easier starting with nothing than two half Jags made mostly of rust
