The more important question is what can you build from it?

It may have never ran, but you could make it better and faster than ever, just like we do with all of the other old steel lying around.

Not custom. Something more like one of these. http://www.myclassiccar.com/MCCTV/20.../gallery.shtml

I was just wondering about this the other day. I guess no one has figured it out yet.

Has Squirrel seen this yet, He has yet to be stumped! I think this has stumped the whole board.

Chadilac needs to do his civic duties and go down there and get the low down!

I think it is one of those things like they pull the people movers around with at places like Disney World.
If someone lived near there and could take apicture that would help. You know the things that hall people in, in the train like deals from the parking lot but are running on the pavement with rubber tires and several cars for sitting behind.
Other than that there is only one other possiblilty
"Oh I wish I was an OSCAR MAYER WIENER----" Naw it coudnt be.

Dammit. I thought we were going to get closure!

**scootermcrad** · 10-10-2007, 05:57 PM

Another vote for some kind of utility vehicle for an airport or something...

...I love it just because we can't figure out what the hell it is!! BWWWAAAHHAA!!!

Just curious... did you knock on the door and ask? (was that already asked 4-pages ago?)

**pug man** · 10-13-2007, 09:11 PM

Anybody know about using a van steering box on a donor frame for a cabover? I am using a van steering box on my 1998 GMC 3/4 ton frame for my cabover because of the box being straight up and down. I mounted the box outside the frame on my 98 GMC frame and when I put the tire on and turned the box the tire hits the steering box. WHAT TO DO? I was thinking that I could move the center of the stock rim to the inside of the rim and this would give me more turning room and also going with a smaller size 16" tire. I have 245/75 R16 on it now and it looks like if they were about an inch less in diameter they should clear. I am open for suggestions from anybody that has "BEEN THERE"....

THANKS,

Pug Man

I know we're all thinking this but let me be the first to say that it's probably likely that Chadillac returned to the car's location and met with foul play.
I know it's an awful, awful realization but there's simply no other explanation for the total silence on his end of things. It's hard to know what actually happened but this could have played out in many, many sordid and horrific ways.
He may have stumbled into some cannibal death cult, been overwhelmed and quickly processed. It's also possible that he accidentally become innocently enmeshed in a criminal undertaking not realizing until it was too late that he was into something much more dangerous than he could have possibly known or ever wanted to know.

I think I speak for all of us when I say that we all share tremendous feelings of guilt for somehow contributing to his tragic demise at the hands, claws, teeth, mandibles or the blood slurping proboscis of whatever swallowed him whole. Our selfish harangues only succeeded in serving him into the gaping maw of some living embodiment of hell that possibly crushed, ground, liquified and/or incinerated him alive.

If anyone can add details to this incredible and shocking turn of events or would like to share your memories of Chadillac from before he was possibly abducted, bound, gagged, tortured, and raped continuously until he longed for death's sweet embrace please feel free to speak.
We're here for each other now, aren't we? We're listening.

Scrumpy · 10-14-2007, 07:59 AM

Hey Benzine, have you been reading Steven King in the middle of the night again? Ya gotta stop that. You're freaking people out.

fuzzface · 10-14-2007, 09:08 AM

How about something on the happy side. Like He went back and brought it and he is secretly rebuilding this alien-time machine-circus-parade - whatever you call it whichamajig, day and night and doesn't have time for us anymore.
Or Cujo got him.

povertyflats · 10-14-2007, 09:54 AM

I think Chadillac is still alive and wishing this post would go away. Of course it will not ever die. Inquiring minds want to know.

Silent_Orchestra · 10-14-2007, 12:11 PM

I don't have many memories of chadillac but he seemed like a nice guy. It's sad that he got abducted by aliens, or cannibalized into the human version of a rat rod. I'd still like to know that thingamajig is though. Any body want to get a search party together to find it?

I'm thinking he bought it, brought it back to life and then it ate him.
