Air ride?

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> i saw this one in progress a while back on Forwardlook.net... At the time, the amount of wavy Bondo was enough to give you motion sickness. Seems like a lot of time and money to pour into a car just to paint it pink with an animal-print interior.

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> This thing should be dragged into the street and shot. Of course, after you shot it, it would probably rear up on its haunches and bite your head off, and then bitch at you for getting blood all over its nice, clean asphalt. Seriously, this is what you would have if a classic truck died and was reincarnated as Pre-Menstrual Syndrome.

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> Interesting truck, but for some reason I get the feeling that this is like some hipster's idea of a hot rod - with what seems to be ironic excess in every detail. Nowt wrong with that, but it's not really my cup of tea.

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> When you're this evil you can wear pink, if anybody laughs, you impale them on the headers.

Actually, I'm not sure those are headers, it looks like they just go straight out the side, I think that's the entire exhaust system... I can only imagine the sound.

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> I have a '64 Chevy C30 motorhome and a '65 Chevy C20 flatbed, and I love the fact that they incorporated the dash, steering wheel and the great roofline into this beautiful mutant. This thing is a Quentin Tarantino movie in the flesh(steel)and must not be taken tooo seriously. Unless the goddam thing actually runs and drives (and serves up refreshing Pabst Blue Ribbon draft), then it's possibly the sickest thing yet and I want one now.

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> Wow, there is only so much one can say about this truck/car/beer hauler. The grille looks much like the grille from my Dad's 1960 Chrysler Newport, which I actually learned to drive in--pushbutton transmission and all. The fins look like they came from the same car. I love it.

EndlessMike

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> Damn- what an absolute waste of one of the coolest Mopes ever.

And BTW, the rear is not from a '57 Chrysler, it's '61 Chrysler as well, with '61 Polara taillights, and a '59(?) Imperial rear bumper. The roof does look like it's from a '60s Chevy.

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> The keg almost makes it look as though the thing runs on beer. Or pink champagne, maybe?

CharlzR

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> I don't know. While I applaud the creativeness, it does absolutely nothing for me. There's alot of wild shit going on here, but I would not be caught dead driving it, nor would I be able to find any purpose for it, I guess the name suits it well, Freakshow, that is about all it may very will be good for.

JSmith53

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> @danio3834: It's a "pony" keg, or quarter-barrel.

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> What's not to love? It has beer on tap in the passenger compartment. That's all you need to know.

graverobber- Two BEER minimum

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> @danio3834: Actually, that's what's called a quarter-barrel keg. I believe it holds around 7.5 gallons.

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> Cars like this are the case study for why the Puppy Crusher must remain unfinished so the badassedness is not diluted by such wimpy details. Like a pink assault rifle !?!

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> The Duality of man? An existentialists dream perhaps? I too fail at words. I can only quote Camus and what he might say with our futile search for meaning. "Does the realization of the absurd require suicide? No it requires revolt." And so..... I flail!

Race7117

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> I actually saw this thing in person while it was under construction in the owner's shop. It's wild as hell. As Mudcar said, it's based on a '64 C-10, not an El Camino. A few Forward Look Mopars lost their lives to build it, but I still love it to death.

These guys build some really wild shit, their shop was full of cool projects. Their shop is in kindof a rough part of town, and they have HUGE dogs that live in the building to keep thieves away.

squablow

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> The cool thing about the beer keg in the trunk, its that it is also chopped and sectioned to fit in the chopped and sectioned trunk.

Brilliant!

danio3834

]]> <![CDATA[Freakshow, The Custom Camino From Hello Kitty Hell]]> Thats sure a wild thang! The roof says it was a 64 Chevy C-K pickup, not El Camino.

i like a lot of it... just not the color. why would you create something so badass and then paint it pink? maybe the guy is irony's biggest fan.
