Uh, how is 'power' transmitted to the little wheels and how do you steer?
Air coupling??
Of all things......

The rust around the wheel wheels is a nice touch. I can see the first bump and those stilts cave over.

It is worth whatever the scrap value is, minus any selling fees or taxes.
If someone buys it for more, he must be a true redneck...

But the added weight will most likely cause the stilts to collapse - just a consideration...

Joe,

could just weld in some brackets and add a second set of supports to handle the weight. He would have to beef up the drive lines a little to handle the extra torque though

I know rednecks that can do better than build junk like that. So many things about won't work. I have built several 4x4 and trust me when I say what the hell was he thinking.

Teen falls out of car, dies in "air-surfing" accident in North Richland Hills 9:28 AM CT

09:29 AM CST on Friday, January 22, 2010
By COLIN HOGAN / The Dallas Morning News

An 18-year-old boy fell out of a friend’s car and died Thursday night in what North Richland Hills police are calling an “air-surfing incident.”
About 7:40 p.m., the teen was riding in the car with three other teens when he opened the door and stood in the doorway while holding onto the inside of the car, North Richland Hills police spokesman Keith Bauman said.
As the car exited Northeast Loop 820 onto Davis Boulevard, the boy apparently lost his grip and fell from the moving vehicle, police said.
The victim, who was not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.


--I see a lawsuit on the car company because the doors could be opened while car was moving....

I see evolution in action. Sadly, however, you are more likely to be right.

"i have wheeled it behind my trailer"

That's about when he knew it was a complete waste of time and money and decided to dump the nightmare!
