Those are those terrible dual-bladed wiper replacements, you can get them in a bunch of different colors. Probably the only reason the bottom of the windshield isn't white.

InitialDave posted:Has he got his front and rear wheels mixed up, or is there something else going on there? It looks... odd. It was already pretty odd looking from the factory, and it looks like his front wheels aren't the right size.  EDIT: These things had the crazy 4 link angled upper control arm set up in the rear too, that had all kinds of bind up just driving on regular streets and is basically the worst live axle rear ever. The Camaro's 3 link w/Panhard bar was considered far superior but that's why it was more expensive.  Superb handling indeed.

The guy originally started building it to be a hypermiler, but then it got weird. The tail is made of political lawn signs attached to a thin metal frame.

 It's like someone invented the oscillation overthruster and turned it off halfway through the garage. Other than that, I really have no idea what the gently caress is going on here.

looks like he built that for a winter project so he could stay warm. but now it's summer and he's still not finished. The things you must do when you have a "short garage" (shed).

Yeah, my first thought was, dude's doing a big overhaul or something that takes long enough to justify keeping the truck in the garage permanently, but gently caress leaving the garage door open and having the snow blow in. In that case though, it looks like his project hit some delays.

That sure looks like an Alabama license plate, if I had to guess he didn't want the bugs divebombing him constantly while he worked on it.

My guess would be that the garage is converted into a TV room/den or something and the guy did that as a joke.

Pretty much every A- B- and G-body GM since 1965 had that rear suspension. Pretty sure the Fox Mustangs did too. Better than leaf springs, at least.

I rode around hoodless in the Volvo for a few days after repairing damage from a deer strike because I hadn't been able to find a hood. Luckily PnP got a "brand new" 240 three days later with a pretty mint white hood to match my "new" white fender.

In the 1980s this is pretty much what I imagined the cars of 2013 would look like, so it's good to see The Future did not disappoint.
