I'm not sure if it makes me scratch my head or shake my head, probably both.

It might be fun at the dragstrip.

Doesn't do anything for me except make me wish I hadn't seen it.

Looks like "The Red Baron Jeep"

 

[Chris]

I wish I hadn't seen it either... ugh

It it can run under 10 seconds at the drag strip I think it's cool. (assuming not since the roll cage is on the weak side.) If not then it is just meh.

Ehh...not a fan. I get what it's going for, but I just don't think it pulls it off. Then again, I can't say that I've ever seen a Jeep modified in any way that's not for off-roading that I've ever really liked.

It may be fast but it cannot go where my LJ goes....meh....Needs a hardtop!

 

[gbirk]

Dear God! That is hideous! .........................................................Ya, I'd totally drive that.

Mall crawler!

Mall with a 1/4 mile parking lot plus a little room to slow down.

I wonder if he still calls his front tires “pizza cutters”?

The Hot Rodder /Car-caine addict in me says 'hell yeah!".....but the Jeeper in me says "what the hell ?"

Would be fun car for the strip...

No one seemed to have noticed that the front was stretched.

 

[pagrey]

Rat Fink, Big Daddy Roth, Iron Cross, anybody know the connection so I don't have to Google it for an hour? I feel like I should know the answer but I'll claim youth as an excuse.

1960's hot rodding for those 3,

No one seemed to have noticed that the front was stretched.

Oh we noticed !!! and it would need to be too with that vette motor in it...leaf springs in the back and no wheelie bars worry me though haha

@mrblaine can fix that...

 

[mrblaine]

@mrblaine can fix that...

You might be surprised at what I fix or want to fix. I'm trying to see if this is worthwhile or should I start from scratch, hack it out from under the front of something else, or what.

Can't quite get my head around whether or not I'm going to have to do a body drop or if I can get it low enough without one.
