I went out to the car show and got this wierd idea

-
Around here the mail jeeps go straight to the crusher. I stood and watched the smash 25 of them one day. They have a postal service guy standing there to make sure no parts were sold.
 
I went out with my son to put his Viper in the Carl Casper Custom Auto show here in Louisville and as I walked around looking at some of the cars I was thinking about something I would like to build next, something kind of low budget but cool and fun to drive and this weird thought popped into my head. There are a bunch of guys that run around here in old gasser style rides and they call themselves the straight axle mafia. Since I grew up in the 60's watching a bunch of gassers and fuel altered run I like the look but its hard to find a cheap old car to hack into that style without spending a fortune to start so I got thinking, PT cruisers look old...Right? and they are a dime a dozen...right? so I was thinking a PT cruiser with the full straight axle treatment and a small block with a tunnel ram sticking out the hood. Maybe some wild graphics or flames or just some red oxide. Anybody feeling this? or do I just need to get back on my meds?
How about you photo shop one and see what it would look like and shoe us
 
The PT already had the SRT4 powerplant in it from the factory. its called the PT GT. Build that motor to about 500 horses. Add all the gasser stuff. VOILA.
 
You mean like this car? Sounds like you have the fabrication skills to be able to it. I say go for it. I like "out-of-the-box" cars.

I actually saw one with a Viper V10 in it, I thought this guy has got to have some nuts to drive that thing. Short wheel base and a crapload of HP and torque, it would have to feel like a fuel altered.
