I was on Ebay and spotted this in the background of this auction. What is it and has anybody seen this? The auction is #2497601839
It's been in the magazines.... I think I remember them saying it started out with a dodge, and it took them two months to do it...
The truck looks like a 4x4...if it ain't too pricey, it'd be the only vehicle in that picture I'd dare to drive on a Michigan road!
that car belongs to tim albrecht from NY...it started life as a 50 or 51 dodge..tim builds under the moniker "pirate kustom"...he's the guy who sells the homemade videos on ebay, "6000 miles in a kustom" & the junkyard one...he is a real good guy who just builds what he likes and dosen't give a shit what anybody thinks......
"SHOCK THEM AT THE CAR SHOWz WITH THIS KRAZY PIRATEKUSTOM...." Thats just ghay.....he must mean "ass pirate"?!
Good thing he doesn't give a shit what anybody thinks...LOL...although if Ebay is his game, that doesn't always work so well. Damn ugly car. Scotch~!
Isnt he the same kat who cut a roadster into hundreds of pieces and sent them overseas in a box then welded the body back together?? I think it was in Rolls-n-Pleats?? Dirty
same guy he is a good guy. he drives the dodge everywhere it has gone across the country 2 or 3 times. i have made a bunch of trips to the booze store at many shows in the car.
ya thats the 50 dodge from pirate customs killed a few real nice cars to put that thing together inlcuding a real good caddy
I have seen that car up close, and yes it is ugly beyond belief, but if he like it.... At least he drives it, but I still wouldnt be caught dead in it.
Is this the same guy that is in the new issue of Ol Skool Rodz? The fellow that has the chopped truck w/ the inline six that was at the Jalopy Showdown? later plmczy
HE REALLY IS A GOOD SHIT NO DOUBT! MET HIM A FEW TIMES,WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM ACTUALLY TRY ON A CAR HE COULD PROBLY DO A GREAT JOB,HE SURE AINT LAZY
He's the guy that started shit with Steve Bonge in Brooklyn. He has big balls, don't be fooled by the German accent, the dude's all American. As American as my Paki ass.
Nads, i can't speak for the incident with steve bonge, but tim never claimed to be German..anyone who knows him knows he's from New York, but he has lived in Europe on and off for a few years...bob
I like it! So there. It would look good parked in front of my sty, eh, house. pigpen "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife, and for my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you." (Old song)
I think when you are going to build a custom it is necessary to use careful consideration before cutting a car. You should honor the vehicles and sheetmetal that we hold so dear to our hearts. I heard a quote from a movie once that puts it into perspective. "They where so worried about if they could do it they never considered if they should!"
In a couple hundred years there will be nothing left to honor, so why worry about it. Gau.de.a.mus igi.tur (L) pigpen
your funny!! If or when you see me at a car show someday, tell me to my face what you think.. well I guess that will never happen cuz I dont go to shows at wallmart...
How could he find you? Your Bio isn't exactly an endless wealth of information. "Tell me to my face what you think...". Aw yes; the Mr. Macho "Lets fight attitude". Wonderful and disgusting at the same time, even for the warped sense of humor of the pigpen pigpen "Lets Rock!" (Al Bundy)
