Might have started life as a Corvair?

I'll take a stab at it...

Mid '60's Chevy Pickup cab chopped and hacked up, Chevy II rear?

It's a Mutt! Otherwise I think RoadRacerDart is pretty close.

Probably $150 or so, scrap weight.

i'm more curious about that green tube chassis in the back of the pickup in the background.

My first thought is sand rail

It's a mid 60's chevy truck cab, but what's on the back looks like one of those plastic deck bins....

RoadRaceDart's got it. 60s Chevy truck cab and Chevy II fenders. Looks like a Jeep grille on it. The tubular thing in the pickup looks like a generic sandrail chassis to me.

It's a crying shame.

^ That

I want to see some more pics of the C900 sedan in the background. What the hell...?

it's posts like this that remind me how fortunate I was to escape Akron/Canton...

There is a lot to like in that picture. Regardless of what you think of the results, there was some work went into the custom "Thing". The footstep in the side is a good touch. I am not sure where the windshield came from but it works.

If you look at the overall tableau, the assortment of hoonage vehicles with the serious off road potential of the background, one would have to conclude that, while the world is debating the merits of his work, the artist is guilty of some serious redneckery type fun.

My mind is still puzzling out the pink thing; Gun mount vehicle?

He was trying to do Thom Taylor's Truckster drawing. Guarantee it.Problem is ink is easier to manipulate than steel.

Do you really need a windshield at that point, I mean honestly what good is really doing...

i still have dreams based on that article.....

and im still seriously considering it or a track-t as my next build.

Its a ferrarri. You can tell from the NACA duct in the door.

That very specific curve of the glass and rake of the A-pillar is what still defines it as a mid '60's Chevrolet pickup. It is necessary as a design element.

But it serves little practical purpose.

SpeedyCop's backyard?
