      Cool pic, but you would have to build it yourself. That one is a photoshop job.

            yep, seen here:

            Thomas Perkins is the creator of that, he worked on the Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon.

                  There's something very ugly - but strangely appealing about it.

                  Kinda like a bad smell you're ashamed to admit you like

                    The van is a Malta Bedford Van:

                    In April 1958 a 1-ton Bedford truck as purchased from the Army (lot 245). It had chassis number MW4193, and was fitted with Bedford engine number 112214. In October 1959 an application was made to scrap the existing body and to build a new body with side windows to sell bread. In September 1960 permission was granted to convert the vehicle from a truck to a closed van. The exam document at the same time gives the engine number as now being MW43828, and the authorised payload as being ¾ ton. The bodywork was probably built by a bus bodybuilder as it had the same stylish look as many buses being built at the time. In July 1968 a Perkins engine (number 3R253844) was fitted. In April 1980 local chassis number CHMP2655D80 was punched, and by November 1980 new registration K-2056 had been allocated. In December 1983 an application was made to convert the vehicle into a minibus, but it is not known if this ever happened (probably not). In October 1991 it was declared garaged. In 2011 it is believed to still exist tucked away in a garage.

                      but they appear on Pawn stars occasionally, they restore crummy looking cars.

                            Yes, Counting Cars...I watch the show all the time.

                            I watch American Restorations too, but they don't do cars (I think they did restore a truck once), mostly vending machines, old gas station pumps, bicycles, toys, signs, refrigerators...pedal cars too, lol...

                            But I'd rather take that to the Fast N Loud dudes...

                              When he said, guys on the tv show from Vegas could make that into something I remembered the American Restoration episode where they turned an old front-end of a car into a couch for Corry
