Modern Vespa

We ran into this display of automotive passion while taking advantage of nice weather and passing thru Mountlake Terrace at the license tab place on our way to Lynnwood yesterday.

Award for first one to ID the donor car. Post up what you've seen please, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

1936 Ford Sedan

VW of course, errr, maybe?

Mitsubishi Mighty Max is my guess. At least i hope there is a frame that the receiver hitch is bolted to, and not attached with bailing wire.

Seattle, Portland, and Austin residents will definitely have an unfair advantage in posting to this thread.

I have no idea what that car is, but I'm pretty sure I could just pick something old and obscure and there'd be a piece of it in there somewhere.

and this just reminds me of this:

That's a great documentary. I think I liked it better than the actual movie.

I was expecting this video when I clicked the link.

Just imagine what the guys house must be like...............

Several years ago I saw an old guy here (Bangkok) riding an old beater Sprint 150 that he'd converted to LPG. He had a tank set up securely in the open area over the center channel. It literally sounded like a popcorn popper. Unfortunately I don't have a photo.

I believe the Indonesians will put anything here in this thread to shame for being too tame.

Just today....

Curves and Fins

I'm impressed. We may have set the bar to low! Imagine what they could do with a Vespa. They made 'tricking out a vehicle' an artform. 8)

C'mon ppl, POST UP SOME MORE DANG PICTURES! So close I'm gonna just say you win! In Washington you can register the original plate from when the car was new.

My buddy who buys and sells hot rods just bought this. It's literally home made out of spare parts and pieces of sheet metal. And it hauls ass!

Not so much the tow vehicle, but what it was towing. Apparently it's a solar powered chicken coop/camper. My buddy's and I were on an 8 day dirtbike camping trip last summer that took us from Oregon and up to the Canadian border. We spotted this contraption somewhere up in central Washington. I can't remember which level the owners slept, or which level the chickens roosted, but if it were me, I'd choose to sleep in the top bunk!

And the trailer had a huge "drawer" that slides open.

Where Steampunk and SEA bodge collide...

All somehow coupled to the tow vehicle with a 1-7/8" ball. Notice the lack of _____, and _____, and_____, as well as ____, and check out those _____, and I'm sure you didn't miss seeing the_____.

WOW - come-alongs holding the axle square? I've got to study that last picture....

That's someone who *really* loves their chickens, I guess.

Hill Holders

What could possibly go wrong?

Whodat may have just won the internet.

Folks love their pickups.
