the devil was in my car, so i cut it apart

well the longer I'm out here by myself the crazier I get. My roadster pickup was buggin me for a couple years, whipped out the plasma and had the offending appendage off in two shakes of a dogs tail. I just drive it around like this now, I can breath, I can sleep, now what. thinkin somethin like the little green car, dont know who's it is

 

Wtf?

 

Do it!
Keep an eye out for a '40 Ford hood for a good start to that shape.

 

wow u cut that sick boat tail off ? i dont get it

 

No, he cut the roadster pickup bed off to do a boattail.

 

No I think he wants to build a boat tail...

 

somebody sell me some swoopy fenders

 

is that green car a lasalle?

 

I like your idea, what about bringing the point of the boattail down further? I think that would make the fenders look less humongous

 

I'm with Muttley. WTH?

 

That green one looks terrible, the tail needs to come all the way out to the bumper.

 

those fenders are streetrod 2" wider sedan fenders, they were free, i want to hide them in the forest..... I am ashamed

 

I think that artistic license juice is gettin' to your brain. But WTF, it you go the vision go for it. Please be sure and post a picture of the "finished product" tons of these never see the light of day again.

I have about ten cars and bikes that are going together, this car is a driver, it has never been off the road, all my other junk keeps me awake also, now the goddam firetruck

 

ummmmmm take the car of the frame, and build you a modified with all the parts that you have there.

 

oh yeah, now these.... i gotta figure out how to put gas motors in them

 

already doin a few, this one is a 250 inliner

 

I'm like a crackhead in reverse, I put shit together, not apart

 

wow lay of the crack lol

 

Look for a 40's Hudson or Chevy hood- they make an excellent boat tail!

 

Just because you own a plasma cutter doesn't mean that you should use it.

 

well that was stupid.

 

oh you kids, have faith

 

So, the devil really made you do it.

 

nothing wrong with boattails...but the one you have pictured has a couple issues.

* the tail is out of proportion and doesn't properly fill the rear section
* the side area of the boattail pictured looks almost concave where i think it might have better proportions if it fattened out slightly

but that's just my view from across the keyboard.

this thread has some of the best examples you may find:

it looks like the devil is in the green car.....

 

I agree. Just look at that hood, that is a pre-fabbed boat tail if I ever saw one. It's even got the flat side part nailed down.

If I ever build a boat tail body, it'll be based on that hood.

 

if it feels good do it . Wtf ! ! !

 

Why do you have gold paint all over your face and what's that bag for? Dude, GET SOME AIR!
