[cepx111]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

But I'm with you, its pretty fugly.

Looks like they a nice job though in all, its just that a 53 nose on a 98 Z-71 just don't go together.

[burnskustomz]

Yep!!

[Tod74]

You guys aint seen fugly...there is a late seventies chevy truck running around Indy that have ginormous pro stock hood scoop,fog lights, a number on the door, and great big mudd tires on the back with "normal" tires on front. ..mud flaps, and To top it off it is painted robin egg blue and the sides are covered with contingency stickers... mostly "jegs" and "edelbrock" , I laugh out loud every time I see it cruisin' around.

I think every big city has a few of those idiots driving around, seen more than a few here in the Memphis metro area.

The guy that drives it appears to be rather young(big surprise) I wish I could catch him at a gas station and strike up a conversation about his truck...might be interesting.

[TheYellaBrick]

Well 'they' are getting more attention than 'us' because they've stepped waaay outa the box ! So for general head turning 'they' win !!
'We' only turn heads of the 'hotrodders/racers/car culture folks.

Let's all post pics of any 'Outa the box' cars/trucks/scooters from our LOCAL areas. Might be fun to see what 'the other side' is doing. Tod, your idea of chatting with the owners to get their story would be interesting as well !
Just something to do this busy summer !

[burnskustomz]

[MEMRACING62]

AW, QUIT PICKIN ON MOPAR1968 & LIVELY, WE COULD BE CHARGED WITH A HATE CRIME ,CANT PICK ON MINORITYS YA KNOW :lol:

[TheRabbit]

There is a guy here that has almost the same front end on a late 90's step side truck. It looks STUUUPID.
5 or 6 years ago I saw a big truck with a big hood scoop on it. At first you can't help but think what idiot did that, but it actually looked pretty cool. It fit the truck pretty good.

[Scooterz]

OH, I got a good one....

We have a dude here that has about a 78' Cutlass. It is spray-painted yellow (like krylon spray-can), it has a fake roll-bar made from plumbing joints/pipe, (I love this part) he has a fire extinguisher held by hose clamps attached to the fake roll bar so it is visible from the side window, air shocks in back pushing the limit (the car looks like it is in "heat"), one glass-pack hanging down at an angle so it comes out one side (like Nasscar), snow-tires on back on steel wheels painted "chrome" silver, Harwood style hoodscoop that is riveted from the TOP of the hood, and the best part... drum roll please.... A BIG 10FT TALL C.B. ANTENNA THAT WHIPS AROUND mounted on the deck-lid. Much like Tod noted on his example earlier, this dude has "sponsor" stickers on all windows & on lower fenders showing his patronage (none of which actually support this vehicle w/ their parts). This dude does sport a mullet as well (I know, this is too good!!!) & when you look at him driving this awesome machine, he looks mad most of the time like he is in a BAD mood... while he has his hand gently bent over the steering wheel w/ a cigarette hanging down between 2 fingers. I think the Methamphetamine may have caused his no-so-friendly look on his face.... just a guess.

That said men, I now deem these glorious automotive specimens with a special name: "BUTT-RODS" what do you think???? I like it!!!

LONG LIVE BUTT-RODS!!!! YEEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!

[MEMRACING62]

RADIAL TIRE RACER :P

[Scooterz]

OK That's two recommendations...

1. BUTT-ROD
2. Radial Racer

Post up if there are some other good names for these timeless & amazing white trash jalopy's. Keep in mind, if one of these species tries to tell you it is a "Rat Rod" they drive, we can't let them get away with that nonsense. These vehicles are in their own class... they really need a good name.

[mopar1968]

If it were not for Chebbies'' there wouldn't have been a Cash For Clunker's, And junk Yards wouldn't exist :!: :lol: :lol:

[burnskustomz]

Theres good and bad in all of them I mean my dad had me into Dodge trucks when I was a kid but I finally saw the light and now I have 2 Chevrolet's now you can say what you want about the junkyards the reason they are full is because Chevy could actually sale a vehicle thats why you hardly see mopars/fords at the track!! And usually if its a mustang what do they have in them now SBC/BBC because they are cheap to run and cheap to build and last a good long while!!! You can get a good amount of HP per dollar with a chevy and mopar/ford well frankly they are high to build and if you buy a mopar body usually they are high if you find a good one the reason chevy bodies are cheaper is because they are more plentyfull because unlike chevy owners the product was to good to be crushed like a mopar/ford they'd rather crush a mopar/ford than let a chevy body get crushed so they just put chevy's in junkyards!! And another reason you don't see many mopars/fords is because the quality of the metal is to poor that they just rot into the ground!!

[burnskustomz]

Lively has a good example of a Ford look at his picture its just a frame his body rotted off of it LMAO JK :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Tod74]

I have posted this before but it is worth repeating since the thread went that way.

The funniest thing I've seen on a car was a guy that had a holley carburator bolted to the center of his hood with a big chrome air cleaner on it. :lol:

[mopar1968]

Yeah ''Burn's '' I quit wearing diapers grew up and bought a Mopar :!: :lol: :lol:

[TheRabbit]

We need some pics of some of these "Rot Rods"

This and you telling us about your first trip to the drag strip are the funniest things I've ever seen on RJ. Maybe any forum!

[Scooterz]

Well men,

I try to stay out of the brand comparison or bashing ... here is why:

GM made the Citation/Chevette...
Chrysler made the Aries "K" Cars...
Ford made the Pinto/Escort
Pontiac even made a "GTO" after 1972... not cool w/me.
Buick... seen some very undesirable rides.
AMC they made a "Matador/Hornet" ?????
Olds made all those 80's front wheel drive cars that nobody wanted.

As far as the good muscle produced from all of the above, I like them all. but they all came up w/ some bad ones too.

It's funny now but it sure wasn't at the time. :)

[dragonmaster093]

long time ago a guy bolted a bugcatcher on the hood of 70's datsun back home they classified these and res rods

Are you saying call 'em " Jackass Rods"?? LOL

I say call 'em Rot Rods. They're not " hot" rods and most are probably half rotten! lol

Haha, I was just in Indy last week and saw that. I just started cracking up. I also saw a riced out civic with an obnoxious fart can and a forward facing hood scoop, and one ugly body kit. The car it self was red and the body kit is a primer green/gray.

[Scooterz]

Another Fast & Furious wannabee... I love those obnoxious rear spoilers that bolt on the rear deck... they are typically much higher than the actual roof line, wider than the car, & if they actually went fast, they would create major wind drag.

[suicidebomb]

HEEEEY, don't be pickin' on us import tuner guys, man!!!

[Scooterz]

Suicide, you know I would never pick on you or your ride brutha. Somethin' tells me you probably don't use a lap-top to tune your altered... much less use a fart-can to make it belch like a Mexican who ate to many re-fried beans... essay/vato.

[DirkaDirka]

Man and here I thought I was cool in my import. :shock:


The sad thing is I cant help but laugh at most of these import guys around.

No No Dirk... no disrespect to you on this one... We are talking about the hammered Civic with a spoiler on the back the size of a billboard, crappy graphic's kit, (partially hanging down on front fender), spray-painted black hood w/ hood pins, fake NOS bottle (not installed) visible in back window, Japanese letters on the window, car in primer. It might include partially working neon lights below the car too.

It is a species I call a "Butt-Rod". Scoot

I know it wasnt towards me at all Scoot. I get a lot of looks when I am driving my Celica. Alot of guys have to pick up their jaws off the ground when they see it. The best part is that the car is completely stock except for the paintjob and these wannabe ricers that have all that extra B.S. on their cars pull up next to me and try to get me to race them. I always have to laugh cuz I know for a fact that my Celica can whoop them no problem.

[dpassmore]

Ya'll didn't read the ad. At the bottom it says. Everybody loves it. So we love it we just don't know it.LOL

[sds10racer]

gotta add my find to the list. saw a late '70's 4 door impala with chrome steel slots, jacked up, with chevy valve covers bolted to the hood for special effect. we call them rez racers around here.

[Tod74]

There was an ad a year or two ago for a jeep. It said something like "Bigger than yours, faster than yours and better than yours..." :roll:

[suicidebomb]

.....And my daddy, can whip your daddy..... :)

[oldandtired]

A couple of years ago I saw a donk in Atlanta. The 3 inch tall wording on the side of the car said "Caught ya lookin"

:lol:

[Tod74]

I saw a DONK go past me a couple weeks ago on the interstate.It was about a 99 camaro and I'm guessing the wheels were at least 24". They didn't even look like they were turning.Must be spinners with some kind of weight on em cause the car appeared to be gliding like it would if the wheels were on dolly's. :roll: Kinda like when DRACULA glides into a room.

I don't know how they can possibly take off from a dead stop with those especially with an automatic trans...looks like they would need 5.57 gears to even get rolling.

[cepx111]

Landon Allen does "donk" car gear changes all the time, 513's are the norm.
