Is the wood supposed to be pine or oak?

I seen the complete package after he got it back from being detailed.

Shopping list:
(1) 8' 4X4
swingset chain
S hooks for said swingset chain
misc scrapyard metal
unibit for cutting "safety chain" holes in sheetmetal
(1) $500 Chevy Blazer- undoubtedly not mechanically sound w/ 0 load.

Am I missing anything?

The swing set chain is all wrong. Gold lamp chain would really bring out the color in the panels of the Blazer.

look all it needs is some air bags to level it out!

jeez hon.....the steering seems a tad light.....

What he really needs to do is weld a "Cow Catcher" to the front bumper for some front-end ballast so the steering wouldn't be so light! Who would need a passenger train then!

It really scares me that someone would go through such an incredible amount of trouble to be so incredibly stupid.

Was the title "New Red Neck"?

I am now building my own, for my Ford Focus. Is the wood supposed to be pine or oak?

A Ford Focus? That's a tad light for oak. May I suggest BALSA wood to maintain the lightweigh fuel economy theme.

Obviously, you've never met my brother-in-law!

the person that made this, is probably laughing his arse off when he finds how much publicity is given to his project...

To paraphrase the roman gladiator salute, "For those about to Tow, we salute you!"


I must admit - that person has brought new meaning to the word "stupid".

WOW! There's some "real" engineering there. I wonder what the factor of safety is??? Perhaps 1:0 ?

It's obviously overbuilt! He used hex head bolts to hold the hitch rails to the tailgate where sheet metal screws would have been more than enough.

Unbelievable!
