Oh, I loved it and enjoy the unique sound it has too. We had the DVD on order so fast it wasn't funny. The room inside the chop looked okay, but visibility appeared to be limited.
A few years earlier there was a 60s ford truck too and there are a smattering of them here and there, but I have yet to see a duece-bodied crawler. The tudor bodies were very well represented in mud racing for years and most used a flimsy version that was super light. I'm just thinking the look might be right, you get some protection from flying and falling debris, and it would be something different from an exposed-tube buggy. One of the biggest reasons I despise the France Family Farce is the cookie-cutter crap (they claim an advantage is to help keep down costs too....whatever) and the Car of Tomorrow only makes it worse.
I'm a snob on this. I prefer vehicles that have character verses the lemming approach. Even the Yeti looked unique among all but a couple rigs at TTC. When I go to a car show or cruise in and see 10 cars with the same 20" wheels, regardless of how they fit the car or not, I generally avoid them because 'its what everyone has'.
Maybe I'll draw up a concept of what I am thinking. A stinger that looks and functions much like a headlight bar on a duece might be cool. Sprint car headers with a cap.....
Bobbed rear fenders....
A nose-less Willys might look good too. Dennis' mud truck is plain wicked. If he got into southern-style crawling he'd unseat Tim as the video download king. The John Force of off road....hitting the loud pedal until he sees Elvis.
Sorry for the hijack.
Please, keep us updated. LOVE IT.....
