Drastic alterations from stock ~ OT

[Tim Frank]

There is the occasional post in here detailing some significant alteration to a vehicle that leaves the original stock design a remote and fading memory.

This usually draws some insightful and spirited opinions....pro or con; I must admit that I usually shrug and think "to each their own/it's theirs so not really any of my business/it must make them happy" or something like that.

I saw this vehicle the other day, and I have to admit, my first reaction was "Good Lord....why...don't they know the 60s were 40 years ago???"

The Good Lord still has not responded.

How many alternators does he need?

[Death Dodger]

I wonder what he spends per month on bulbs?

I do believe I would be embarrassed to even approach that van in fear someone might think I am the owner

That is the Tim Allen van not the Tim Adams van.

Regardless of who owns that van, you'd better have some dark glasses on when and if they turn on all those lights. That is, if all of them actually light up.

(Anybody else smell ozone ?)

Don't know about where that van lives, but here in PA, if there's a light fixture on a vehicle, it must be kept in working order... this owner must spend all his spare time chasing burn-outs !

I wonder if there's a computer inside that runs a light show ?

Maybe a loudspeaker that plays "Here Comes the Sun" ????

( Or the theme from "Close Encounters" ? )

( Or maybe I'm just jealous... )

Not sure very many states have that rule. MN sure doesn't.

Here is one we saw in New Orleans. For the life of me I don't know why my wife wanted her picture taken with it but she did. So, as any good husband does I just said "yes dear" and took the picture. Was all done with mosaic beads and sea shells.

That guy really needs to stop hanging aroung truck stops!! The other one says "Save a whale Hug a bug":D

Your wife have one of them there sequine machines by Ronco..watch out ..you may get some real fancy seatcovers yet

Wonder what the van looks like at night with the lights on?

[Plymouthy Adams]

I am sure if that thing was all lit up at night Officer Kil O. Watt will be busy passing out his autograph

I was wondering what the guy with the van thinks about people that sink so much money into a 60 year old car.

I have been spending my time sanding/wire brushing/painting a frame that no one will ever see. (sort of like peeing in a wet suit - no one can tell but you still get a warm feeling)

I guess if you want to be noticed that would be one way to go.

Like everyone else I'd like to see it at night.

[woodscavenger]

Like peeing in a wetsuit? LOL

[littleman]

Think that guy got mixed up about the electric car craze?

I got for you. I saw this "altered from stock" on the road in Wyoming last summer.
