Just use their brains every now and again instead of just their cannibus and alcohol induced fantasies of what they think is sooooo cooool man!? They think everyone will see the 68 camaro body atop a 4x4 blazer frame and be soooo impressed!
Why can't they see how useless and silly such an endeavor is? not to mention the waste of good sheet metal. Why, anyone can put any old car or truck body on a 4x4 chassis , it takes insight to see that certain configurations are more practicle and better served than others, such as putting a ford early to mid-60s ranchero body on a early bronco chassis. A car body atop a 4x4 chassis is basically a brainless childish thing to do. When I see a muscle car body atop a 4x4 chassis, I get that same knot in my stomach as when a fool pulls up beside me at a stoplight and has that RAP-CRAP blairing! A more practicle ,station wagon body on a 4x4 chassis, gives you a homemade SUV type vehicle ,good for camping and fishing trips w/ample sitting room and gear storage.
I guess its because I'm almost 50 and realize you only have so much time to live, that has tended to make me a little frustrated and impatient with those that waste good effort and life on goofy endeavors. Yes, I admit, I was once younger and dumber than I am now and thought about doing wild and silly things but, having grown out of that mindset (except for the barrel shaped OH camper), I try to be more practicle and get young guys to think more rationally. Now I can live with the fact that ,"people are gonna do,what people want to do" regardless of advice and opinion from others! I wish I could impart words that would save them all the wasted effort and life on silly endeavors that really accomplish nothing and use all that genius and motivation to really accomplish something worthwhile and useful. Thats what impresses me. So there, thats my input on that subject. Fire away ! I guess I'll get a good verbal thrashing :>)
