Default Cut up a C-3.........

Anybody watch 'Monster Garage tonight'? They hacked up a white 'T'top C-3 to make it into a mudbog racer. It looked like a decent car before they chopped it up. It had a 454 big block in it too. Kind of a shame to ruin this vette just for a t.v. program!

They usually take something pretty good and turn it into a pile of JUNK on that show.
Then everybody thinks they are "soooooo kewwwwel".

Did you guys see the Caddy they chopped up to turn into a dragracer?

They put the engine in at about a 45* angle, nose up.

What a crock that show is.

But I'm sure they are paid WELL to be the unimaginative funks they are.
