1972 Unique Roadster

Check this one out.

No roof. No doors. No windshield wipers.

I'm guessing the windshield is off a boat?

The eyeshades on the headlights are a little tacky.

Seems odd to me that a lot of time was spent on cosmetics and basically nothing mechanically.

spend all that money, and neglect lowing springs to keep it from looking like a truck? :)

And I agree, looks like a boat!

I can't figure out how they managed to flatten the whole back of the car? Sorta makes me think it was rear ended, but then there are the doors....
Can't wait to hear what Brad Artigue says about this one :mrgreen:

While the resulting design may be questionable I can sure appreciate the technical skills it took to execute the project.

My parents always told me that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Kind of looks like they were going for a Batmobile look, but chickened out on the color and bat logo

Uhhhh. Ummm. yeah. I'm with Seabeelt - looks like he was going for the old Batmobile hood. Mix the two and you really have an abomination.
