    I bet the owner works in auto body. I love projects like this. It was likely a total loss vehicle that was reconstructed as a project. Based on what I can see from the picture, this was someone that didn’t have a lot of spray experience, but does pretty remarkable panel work.

    For pro auto body, your project car is like your resume. Words and talk are cheap. Show me your ride and the before you started pictures for a real job application.

    Ngl, assuming they had documentation on what all they used to patch this thing together, I would buy this kind of thing if I had the funds.

    I generally prefer my little hatchbacks, but this looks so damn neat, and I sure wouldn’t object to the ground clearance lol.

    … i fucking hate these so-called wanna-be “pickup trucks” with tiny-ass beds in proportion to the rest of the vehicle’s length. The Tesla CyberTurd is like that too. If I’m using a truck with a bed, that bed is gonna make up AT LEAST 60% of its body. Gimme one of those Kei Trucks!
