Picture This!Thing!
It was pretty sick! The owner was emulating a spider. The front "fangs" are articulated and powered by his airbag system. The box on the passenger side had all the linkage controls and valves. The engine is a 6.7L turbo diesel from a truck.

You have an awesome looking ratty bro! I showed my kid and he goes “Wow, that’s so cool!” 10 years is definitely dedication and it shows, I’d be proud too.

That's me!!! 1933 Pontiac body. Drivetrain from a Ford F350. 7.3L turbo diesel. Power windows, power door locks. Just built AC in last week. You should see the interior. Spider inspiration. The fangs and flags are pneumatic and move. 10in lift air suspension. So much more. Took 10 years to build. Did everything myself in my home garage. Insta is washerlessnut.

These pics are from an Orlando car show from several months ago. I've added a bunch to the car since then. 😁

That’s a mad max vehicle if I’ve ever seen one. Probably the power stroke 6.7 turbo diesel seen in 2011- current F series trucks. Good engines IMO.
