Less than beautiful...some mods just don't really work visually

You sure make a point here!

Though, that red one could spark some heated conversation among the hot rod guys as whether it constitutes a 'real' hot rod.

Is that last one supposed to look like a Cobra ? Looks like someone beat it with an ugly stick but if the builder likes it, so be it. Silly but I kind of like the red one ( second to last ). Is that a midget ?

[cobraman]

Are they all based on MG's ?

Yeah, all MG Midgets or AH Sprites, 'cept for the black MG B

Came across these trying to find a shot of an old employer's big-block Chebby powered Spridget.

Here's some more beauties.

   This one's a TR.

    Another ungainly B.

Crash bumper IMSA Midget...   

Another embarrassed TR...       TR 7 with extra chin...  

 

And a melting MGB GT

My old TR4a is rolling over in the grave.

[Drake69]

Wow. What did these poor cars ever do to people?

Must've been real bad to deserve this treatment.

Cobraman,

The blue one that isn't a Cobra is one of these - http://www.arkleyss.com/

Actually, I quite like the TR4A coupe...

This thread should have come with a warning. And to think some guys spent their time, money and energy to build these. To each his own I guess but some of those are just down right hideous.

I'm kind of surprised that one doesn't have square wheels. : )

AUTOBOTS.... TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!!!!

[Spex84]

I kind of like the blown red one with the crazy rake and chrome side pipes. It's like the owner told himself "I'm going to build this for my 12-year-old self". Kudos. Why not!

The rest though...paved with good intentions, etc, etc.

That woody is something that probably looked amazing as a concept sketch, but the execution just didn't quite succeed 100%. It's almost there!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Here's another ill-conceived mess. A Ferrari "pontoon-fender" Testarossa wadded up and squeezed over a pool little innocent Miata. Yuck.

                                                               

See kiddies, the REAL design works...

[Vince Nemanic]

And THAT Testa Rossa body worked for about three hundredths of a second longer...

Yeah, but it sure looked good for those three hundredths.  

[Xingu]

I think this one needs a lighter paint color to work.
