I'm sure someone finds value in it, but there's nothing about that I find desirable.

Should be re-titled "ass built hot rod."

I don't know if rat rodders would even claim that

The rats would though

I'll play devils advocate.

It appears to be hand built, so this guy has built a car from scratch. That's way more than I've ever accomplished. The only thing I've ever built from steel was a shelf, and even then it wasn't square and pretty plain looking.

He built something he wanted and I'm sure he had fun doing it. That's the epitome of Grassroots.

I expected better from people who love yugos and think a diesel miata is a good idea.

I'll give him credit for all that, although I wouldn't quite say he scratch built a car, he fabbed up a front end and maybe a cab (although I think that's from something else) on top of an existing chassis and the bed is from another truck.

But yes he built what he wanted, he lacks a sense of aesthetic, but most of all he actually has a bid of $2800 but has a reserve higher, he needs to step back from the crack pipe and take the money.

Seats and center console are from a 1st gen Neon.

The cab is from a combine harvester.

I hate the fact that is painted to look like rust, but if the front end were done a little nicer, and it had real paint I could almost like it.

I mean seriously, if it was a John Deere cab, paint it green & yellow, if it was IH or Case paint it red. Tractor paint is cheap and goes on easy.

Yeah it's not that ugly. I kind of like it, it's like a parody of hot rods and it's funny.

its like a mad max looking, big rig miniturized, farm truck.

the interior kills it for me, but i kinda dig the body.
