What were they thinking. (Mods that shouldn't have happened)

[Accelo]

All kinds of Crazys with modifications that should not have happened.
Or "What were they thinking"?
Here is one that was on a truck I own.
What do you have?

I saw a 73-87 square in Pull-a-Part years ago where the entire cab inside was covered in 70's type shag carpet. Nicely done. Had a Latino feel to it. Someone had also done an excellent job of adding a radio antenna port to the drivers side cab just behind the door. Sadly, no pics. Was before the era of most folks carrying personalized tracking devices.

You gave me flashbacks... My first car was a 67 Impala 4 door. It had a 283, slip-and-slide Powerglide, single exhaust with a cherry bomb, and was mostly gold except the one white fender. Its most outstanding feature, however, was the dash. A previous owner had covered the dash with plaid fur... no kidding. It matched the green vinyl bench seat beautifully.

Blasphemy I tell ya.

Don't toss those! They are the super rare Antarctica Edition driving mittens. Frostbite protection to -50!

When I first bought my '68, the original horizontal grille bar had been cut out, and a portion of a 71-72 grille insert was stuck in its place. The insert was cut into two pieces so that it could be maneuvered into position without having to disassemble anything else, and then it was held in place with zip ties. The original '68 turn signals were then attached to the radiator support with bailing wire. The lenses had been removed since there wouldn't have been enough room for them.

That turn signal placement gets points for creativity.

I suppose. That ridiculous deflector is also long gone.

Worst mod of any vehicle by far is turning on county noise on the stereo.

I've also seen a mitsubishi turbo 4 cylinder in a Porsche 911. Blasphemy.

My FiL was driving his '82 4-door Buick Regal, and someone pulled up next to him with country music from a foreign land playing loudly. He cranked up his own country music, and got a dirty look. I don't listen to country, by and large. It's all personal taste, anyway. I prefer the old stuff that I grew up with if I listen at all. Johnny Cash, Tennessee Ernie Ford, stuff like that. Otherwise, it's blues and rock.

I think this one was on ebay some years ago. It's not for everybody but that guy was like an ultimate Earnhart fan. The whole inside of the bed and shell is a shrine to Dale. He was really into gadgets and doodads and all things JC Whitney sold.
Belong to anyone here?

Nice work, but d@mn...

I appreciate the amount of work that went into the build but not my cup o tea.
