Truck Shop Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I will give the guy credit for his imagination and talent for the work that's been done. But for practicality and value when finished-zero. This harkins back to the day's of show cars like the Boot Hill Express-pretty worthless and silly. A waste of a 57 KW.

Popular Post dogg rescue Posted March 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2017 If he is willing to sell it for 50k and he believes it will be worth 500k when he's done, wouldn't it be worth it to quit his job and finish it?

BillyT Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Cool to look at and the dude's obviously a craftsman, but I agree with you guys about destroying a rare antique! This from a guy who always thought it'd be cool to reverse the body on an early 50s Studebaker chassis (so the engine would be under the trunk lid) and the thing would look like it was going backwards! There is actually a person in Hernando County Florida who has about a 16 ft wooden rowboat with some kind of a chassis under it ! And they actually drive it around! Of course Florida has no state inspection,so you can(and many do!) Drive almost anything on the highway! This is cool for folks like us who actually work on and maintain our equipment! However the average person,when not forced by law to have their car inspected annually for safety will neglect it until it is unsafe! That's why there are so many vehicles with lights not working!

BillyT Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 When I was in the auto salvage business they paid me five bucks to haul away a complete corvair or rambler American (because of the weight) so some stroke watches a couple of auctions and they're worth ten grand!

People can afford it and like what ever they buy, be it that K.W. nightmare an AMC, a Corvair ,a Ferrtari or the couple that paid $93,000 for my Challenger, good for them. Their money and they have to live with it. 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49005-1957-kenworth-hot-rod/#findComment-363401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
