That looks like a road hazard!!!

Interesting, but I wouldn't buy it. I think The Capt'ns an Cranky's ideas are better lookin. Just wouldn't trust a "backyard" welding job, 'less it's MY OWN!!!

There is a HotWheels out right now that is really close to this. Maybe this one was the inspiration for it? I thought it would make an interesting model, though I was thinking of trying to find an ol' Willys body to do it with. You know, put my own spin on this thing.

Looks small to me.....I'd put a mower deck under it, a plow up front, some nasty nobbies on the back, and definately paint it. Just use it to plow the yard & mow the driveway

I likes it, the looks of it. I think it needs more dust, rust, and gunk!!!

Thanks for sharing!

LOL, that looks like fun.

The editor of Jp magazine (John Cappa) is building a rat rod based on an old Flatfender, and Hot Rod's David Frieburger says he's kicked the idea around. I've got a '77 CJ-7 rat rod model that's been on the back burner for a while now. So, I guess this idea isn't totally unprecedented!

The one on Ebay... uh, I'm not so sure. The proportions all look just plain wrong to me, though I must applaud the builder for at least having his heart in the right place!

hmmmm, this ain't good....just found the "Battle of the Bulge" "Armored" version of this on the shelf

I don't beleive I could even license and register that thing on my state. I know I'd at least have to put fenders on it. You know, different isn't always good.

i wonder what the guy wants for it?

registering it in cali would be problematic if it had to be registered as about 66 or later.

still, looks pretty cool and that big block cheby ought to make it move. its something very inspiring for model building thats for sure.
