That’s my next project… need a post apocalyptic looking vehicle. Want it to blow smoke into the air, even happy with missing doors and large external fuel tanks. Not trying to copy anyone, but do my own thing… and push the limits of what’s street legal. If it doesn’t look questionable, I’ve failed.
Are you leaning more towards a car or an SUV?
Mercedes w123 chassis. It’s bulletproof reliable… Love the 280CE - of any of the two door versions… but now that I’m gonna be a dad, will probably try to find the station wagon… and I want the exterior to look like it’s 40 years old… don’t need it to be shiney. My base vehicle will be sub 5k
W123 chassis is nice. I also find station wagons with wooden panels have a nce distinctive look. Less mad max though https://i.nostr.build/XLW3RGNPwcqXfG5S.jpg
That car in the picture isn’t much too nice a condition to do what I want to do. I am looking for a clearcoat over raw metal, 3 inch lift, fat tires, big front bumper guard… and the piece de resistance… a smoke stack right up through the hood with large fuel injectors that can give off black smoke on command… diesel is so fun 👌
