Gotta get it ready for those Whacky Races
Penelope Pitstop is as good as ours!
Dude same, this is sick as hell
Exactly the kind of thing I would like to do an ev restomod on
my current retirement plan is to get a beetle and transform it into an electric cabriolet… I still have a few years to get the skills and money… assuming I can retire some day hahahaha
The University of British Columbia engineering department did that like 15 or 20 years ago. They may have released a bunch of their information that might be useful for when you retire.
Sounds like a great plan
Yo Dawg
How many gallons per mile does it do?
Looks like it could house a fairly large battery
or batter a fairly large house
Or a fairly large horse
I prefer my houses with breading over batter.
Um, we call that stucco up here.

The Herkimer Battle Jitney's little brother?
JUNK IT
Dang it, you beat me to it
I came here to say it looks like an HBJ
Your link doesnt have a time code so it just goes to the beginning of the movie
Your point?
I thought maybe it was missing, I will watch it soon. Always thought the trailers looked good!
Yeah watch the movie it is still good
Better now probably, it was ahead of its time. It's much more poignant now after the flood of superhero movies.
Edit: Oops I accidentally watched it again. I started it for funsies waiting for the second it got boring to stop, and oops. Watch this movie, it's really good.
Not available in my country nice
A great use of a 3D printer would be HERKIMER badging for cars
God damnit I don't need another project
That vehicle is fucking dope.
Seems to be a Chevrolet 5100 panel van, what a cool looking vehicle
Cab over engine truck modified in to a panel truck. Could have been factory or aftermarket. It wasn't a regular production model like that though.
Looks like a car you'd see in a Final Fantasy game
Goon-mobile, both types of goon…
And how many violin cases?
I think more like 12-15. 6 or 7 on a bench along both sides facing each other in the back plus 2 up front, three if it's a bench seat.
Man they need to make chubby cars again. They were so cool.
If the Jeepers Creepers monster had a vision...
That rig is disgusting... in the best way. So fucking rad
Not nearly as classic as the Herkimer Battle Jitney
The vehicle you buy when she says she's ready to call you boss
Look at that rear tire! Is this a sleeper drag van?
Definitely something cool under the hood here
That thing is awesome!
Reminds me of the Freeze Truck from Batman.
Repost that in vanlife. You could have a two bedroom in that beast.
I wanna paint a dieselpunk train engine on that frontend
Won't this the car those gangsters drove in Whacky Racers?
