Somebody has way too much time on his hands. Tim Allen would love this thing.

The scariest thing is that I don't see a seatbelt anywhere. I'd still drive it though.

If you were to wear a seatbelt, you wouldn't be able to reach that hurst T handle shifter by the foot pedals.

Stop and ask yourself this, would you WANT to be strapped into that thing with a seatbelt?!?!

That's not to mention the lack of any sort of cage. I guess I'd rather not be strapped in a seatbelt, but rather full motorcycle gear and jump backwards if things get iffy.

I like how the fenders are just resting on the slicks.


This thing probably doesn't even run.

Yeah, I doubt it runs too, even with a ShortyGlide in it, the drive shaft angle would almost have to be impossible, it would even be a stretch using CV joints.

I think its a work in progress...who would bother with all of that, without the goal of it running/being driveable?

I don't think it's a work in progress. I think it's just for show. It might even fire up, but it doesn't move.

Not to mention even if they did somehow squeeze a tranny in there (which they can't) the steering shaft would go right through it.
