I can see how someone would go nuts to showcase skills, but for God's sake, have an eye for artistic value, please!

It looks like one of those Japanese horrors you see at times only on the 'net.

Someone has a lot of metal working skill and is in desperate need of a designer.

Maybe he can get a job building good looking cars like Eagle Speedsters?

Are those considered skills?

His website name says it all

Custom car fabrication


"sheet" metal lol maybe the thing is a parody ---- but of what?

Or is he channeling McLuhan ("the medium is the message") or referring to his OWN metalworking prowess...???

^ LOL at McLuhan reference, his book is even famously misspelled as "The Medium is the Massage" which may be an arbiter of perfection here...

All I've got is W. T. F. ?

And who the hell appraised it at $75K? I could use some grossly exaggerated valuation.

The dirty paw prints on the seat pic is classic.

There are some metal working and fabrication skills on display. There are no design skills on display.

Car appraisals are always wonky IMO.


Looking at the website, I can appreciate the skills that guy has, but can't appreciate the result.
