rat rod fd

bigtony08 · 12-24-2010, 02:28 PM

hey guys just ran across this and thought it was really cool cause it is so far outside of the box http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010...ce-s-rx-7.aspx

I don't know about this one, that seems like more of a post apocalyptic Mad Max type style going on. I was a fan of Rat Rods, but don't think I could let my 7 get like that! You definitely found something a little different.

ducktape · 12-24-2010, 04:23 PM

I like it.

mazdadude7 · 12-24-2010, 05:02 PM

I think its sweet and the interior is cool as well. I wouldnt do it to a nice fd but you can sure find plenty of screwed up ones that this look would be an upgrade! and dont make me post pics of what im talking about....

This one was posted in the pics thread on 7club. I could never do that to my FD but it's definitely different.

ive always liked rat rods but this is i think what they call a drift missle but the said it was going to be a parts car so i say good job for saving it and doing something so out there and ill be damned if it doesnt grab your attention like or hate it its good to see some new life brought into the comunity

i like the dashboard..if you can call it that...

That car was in a somewhat major collision/kiss and tell (this is evident of the damage on the drivers side rear 1/4 panel)

so they made a choice to not destroy/part out, and turned it into the car it is now...

I dot mind it at all... very very eye catching, and unique...

.... poor car.

IH8DSM · 12-25-2010, 08:46 PM

wow thats the biggest piece of shit ive seen so far with this whole rat rod style, yes i understand "dorifto" ness means you will hit or rub walls at some point but so do drag cars and they dont say f it and start rusting the body. This fad seems like the lazy mans way of building a car, yea put some decent suspension on it and say f everything else. i hate the rust o mod stuff almost as much as the whole hella flush trend.

bigtony08 · 12-25-2010, 11:57 PM

i love stance and the was going to the crusher so i say good job of saving it

ShelbyZ87 · 12-26-2010, 09:55 PM

I might not like it but, its definitely unique and better then seeing it crushed.

Track cars still can look decent and not beat. So they saved it from the crusher why not do some body work maaco paint job and actually look decent

Project10AE · 12-27-2010, 11:20 AM

That's horrible.

I'd have much rather that car been crushed than have people think of that pos when somebody mentions "rx7".
