The more of these strange vehicles I see, the more I'm fascinated with the idea of a major sound system, and an Ipod full of sound effects. Imagine getting into that, that...gray winged truck thing...and cranking up the sound of some whooshing turbine starting up, star-wars like! Get it loud enough and nobody would hear the actual 4-banger come to life!
I suggested in another thread on the original mutilated C-3/'39 truck that a cow mooing would make a great horn, and the sound effects of various metal pieces dragging and falling off would REALLY turn heads - especially if folks could HEAR them but not SEE them!

This is a cheap excuse for a Hot Rod, am I honestly supposed to say wow good job getting a bunch of parts from cars that no one wants in the first place then getting a drill and a bunch of screws and slapping them to a frame.
Work hard, earn money, and buy a real hot rod.... and have fun customizing it NOT slapping something together and saying its cool because of how different it is. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but anyone can see rad rods are a excuse for not getting a real car.
My two cents.

Sorry, but I sort of like some of the custom created rods - for example some from the Voodoo Kings - their work is really good, and if you look at the detail it is amazing stuff. Not sure about the C3 of the original post here though... not my cup of tea, but these aren't bad.

Ugliest Vette
I can't believe that that "wanna be vette" has a bid over $5100.00
I actually like the Sliver C-3 4X4 Vette. I love how they did the rocker moldings and rear bumper.

The rat-rod movement seems to have come full circle, IMHO. Hot rodding started out as a rebellion against the main stream. It evolved to where you can buy off the shelf parts and build a hot rod today. So I think rat rods were a rebellion against that. I don't like them, but when well done (NOT the COW-VETTE) I can see the creativity involved to make them. But now it is getting to where you can buy new "old" parts to build a rat rod and rat rodding is becoming main stream.
And so it goes....

A 77 Corvette is junk anyways. I had a mint 1980 L82 car 42k original miles red on red blah blah. Only thing good I can say about it is I didn't lose a dime when I sold it.

It's not a 'Vette
Ladies & Gentlemen, you are looking at the next MUSTANG. Obviously copying some of the Vette styling cues from various years.
Oh, Lord, what fool this mortal was!
