(By Chris Chenlo) – We’ve all been there, a group of friends sitting around drinking beer and someone says “Wouldn’t it be cool if we……..” and that’s how it starts. In my head that’s exactly how the Mad Max series came to be. Had this guy listened to all of the naysayers we all would have missed out of some biggest and baddest concocted ideas that we’ve ever seen. That Cadillac is epic! This guy came up with the idea and he even talked someone else into building it and have it is a movie.
Now on the other hand I’m sure these ideas have probable made a few of us homeless. The other day I came across this monster truck limo and holy crap I had to stop and snap a picture. This guy probably wound up sleeping in the limo in a field and wondered what’s next for him. I guess he decided to make the field into a camp ground and lived happily ever after. Who knows.
Either way the next time you hear someone say “Wouldn’t it be cool if we……..” I suggest you guys all pool your money together and build it. After all what’s the worst thing that could happen?
For the longest time I thought about putting an early Nova hardtop body onto an old bobtaiil dump truck chassis, shortened to fit. I do not know why.
A twin engine truck for drag week, using a max effort race engine (nitro hemi) in front driving rear wheels for racing, and a transportation/stock engine(aluminum 4 cylinder) out back driving the front wheels on the highway. Use a 4wd axle with chunk on right, Put the 4 banger on the right rear to improve bite on track.
I have tons of stupid ideas I’ll never be able to afford to do. My favorites are: Type 1 Austin Mini straight axle gasser, with a hilborn injected Aston Martin V8, zoomies and big n littles, want to call it British Invasion. A 2 door AMC hornet done up in late 60-early 70s JDM style, fender mounted mirrors, sakura wheels, cross flow head on the AMC six with triple webber side drafts. AMC Matador coupe with a 5.0 VW V10 Diesel completely zooted up with a premium interior, pro-touring suspension, Foose style tastfull body mods, etc. call it a pro-diesel touring personal luxury car. If any rich person wants to fund these let me know.
