Whew, that thing looks ROUGH. I don't mind a well done customization of any kind, but this one looks like a pure backwoods, IQ lower than the number of teeth, redneck creation.. They saw something on the boat/plane thing and decided to have a go... only they used the wrong plane body so it can't be done cleanly... lol, what losers.

Looks like an episode of Monster Garage gone bad.

Oh wait, that's that "Monster Nation" show that is Monster Garage gone bad. So this is an episode of Monster Nation gone bad.

No, usually the guys on Monster Garage have at least SOME talent. That thing looks exactly what Brian said above - I was pretty much thinking what he wrote word-for-word before I even read his post. What a freakin' white trash sculpture. They took what could have been an interesting concept and absolutely butchered it.

I can't even imagine that thing making it ON to the highway given how shoddily it looks put together. . . Ahh - the juxtaposition of "fine engineering and craftsmanship" and "afterthoughts and duct tape" - the pinnacle of redneck artistic expression!

"Nose cone opens for easy access to master cylinder"

Whew! I was worried about that.

Looks like something Cousin Eddie from National Lampoons would drive.

Here are some pictures of the design team:
