Two things here. If I dont just watch I might as well come home now and start dividing things up. Secondly being retired Ive got no money to be buying more cars. Probably best to just keep working! I shouldnt be so hard on my wife, she gives me a lot more rope than I deserve.

It looks like an early Corvette prototype disguised under a cut down Chevelle body. Lord, why?

Those pics of the tri-5s that are shortened, that is what I remember as a fad in the early 70s.

This reminds me of the Push-truck we had at the shop I used to work at. It was a 76 GMC shortened just like this. No suspension in the back with heavy steel plates welded to the frame. It had awesome traction but sure was a rough ride. It was painted orange and called The Pumpkin. I wish I had a picture of it.
