I think Bubba AND his brother Cletus worked on that one. Shheeeeooooot, Pappa Cooter may have even been involved. That looks like a three man, 1 chromosome, 60 IQ 'tween 'em j.o.b. to me.
Bet they was drinking some hooch, too. Nice find.

I think 'Bubba', as a verb, as in 'Bubba'd' should be limited to non stock, non traditional repairs of otherwise daily driven Corvettes. What you showed was more of what you get when a Rat Rod project has access to a Corvette and too many black cans of paint. In this instance, I think we need a new genre, a genre named aptly for when someone completely changes the appearance of a Vette (better or worse....usually worse) Some clever combination of words like "Corvette and Travesty, or Corvette and abomination, or at the very least Corvette and whatthefukwasthiswhitetrashmoronthinking .

I think the same Bubba worked on my car, my radio was held up with a 1" off cut of radiator hose when I bought the car, another 3" section of the same hose was used to hold up the passenger side front speaker on the glove compartment, the speaker wires were all twisted together and then wrapped up in electrical tape, every bump I went over made the music come out of a different speaker, it was fun until I finally fixed properly, now music comes out of all 4 speakers at the same time. Oh and I did eventually put screws in the speakers so they are now part of the car. Bubba sure is a bad electrician.

Bubba did almost the exact same speaker treatment on me. Lol. He did however wire the ground of the stereo to the lighting! The stereo worked fine until you turned on the lights, then it died. Fixed that and some of his twist wiring last weekend. One of my favorite bubbas now is my Velcro holding my glove box shut. Next project.
