its not  edit: that being said,.... theres nothing i guess to say it cant have the rad under the bed with a elec fan... but going by what ive seen like the purplepeopleeater rod thats still being driven the same way it was in around 96/7 when i first saw it, its still got no cooling and is limited to very short runs... (i.e off a trailer  ) |

Hmmm 50/50 mix of awesome and absolute wibblepoo for me there. Why do people just chuck rat rods together with no eye for proportion and more stick on tat that a 17 year old puts on his first car. Oh and this steering setup is a (woeful) sight to behold.  Matt |

this one, as cool as it is, amuses me rather. 'how can we possibly make a series landy slower and handle worse? I know!!' even with that 356 lump in there, it cant be too lively. |

Oh and this steering setup is a (woeful) sight to behold. Matt Amen Brother, Amen! - (how many U/Js!!) I think that this "rod" is just generally flat-out ridiculous. I don't mind the fact that it's made out of a Beetle body, as that can look fine if done well, but there are just so many things which seem to have purposely been done wrong that it's amazing. I mean, seriously, putting the throttle linkage through a hole in the windscreen is just batshit insane! Not to mention the bizarre roof turret/windscreen treatment, poor proportions, ugly and fairly scary chassis/front suspension, and mad exhaust layout going through the centre of the firewall. I can only assume that it's intended to be driven in the snow, thus using exhaust heat to warm the gearbox oil and cockpit! Okay, all that negativity must need some counter-acting, so here goes:      |

Ooooh what a lovely pair! Here's one I just found that I rather like too... 1947 Hudson  I know there'll be comments about the wheels  Runs a Turbocharged 7.3 Litre Ford Powerstroke engine! Noice. |

Oh and this steering setup is a (woeful) sight to behold. Matt Hmm, you'd get less bump steer with a set-up like that though. Absolutely no relative movement between the beam and the steering arms if the steering rack is mounted to the beam Always good to look for the positives... |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

would you notice the lack of bumpsteer though, surely it would be lost in the turn and a half at the steering wheel of combined UJ slop?? :DD
i find the fact the 2 chassis rails are about 10" apart 'interesting' to say the least. can you say torsional rigidity?! and the fact whoever built it decided to do each front crossmember to chassis rail join differently!! in fact, the only thing i can see that they have done right is fit the tyres to the wheels so they hold air........and theyd probably be the only bit of it id want to own!!
