That thing looks like it is begging to snap where the bed meets the back of the van. It just seems like it would be an ungodly headache to drive in tight quarters with that wheelbase. I'm trying to mentally compare it with larger trucks I have driven with that sort of wheelbase, but something just seems off about the setup...

I doubt it. It looks more like a large box truck chassis that somebody slapped a van body and snowmobile chassis on. That thing can probably support a 100klb cargo.

I'm not saying it isn't sound, it just looks unsound. There is something about it that is bugging me, lol...

I've realized different parts of our country have different standards when it comes to custom vehicles.

To us in California this would be a WTH. To parts of the Midwest then this might be the norm(Sorry Midwest)

When rounded and smooth collide with square edges.

^^That is terrible. BUT, likely built before dually rear ends were rounded and smooth.

I think with a different choice of rims, then this could somewhat work for me.

Eh, the rims work for me, but I think they should have shot a lime green paint on it to bring out the Gremlin in it

I like the Mogwai (AMC Gremlin), too little sidewall for my taste but a cool build for sure. It definitely has the 60's custom fiberglass feel to it.

I dug up some more pics

And a video which is mostly a overview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ihSRWU5rMk

More meat in the rear and more flake in the paint and it's perfect!

Neats more shoes in the back for sure. And personally, I'm a big fan of orange.

Unless the frame is bent, why not straighten that up?!
