Crap or cool?
If anyone could do a mock up picture that'd be great
Using off cuts and welding them together to make "crazy paving" style panels. I can see it being a hell of a lot of work, but the question
is:

Or take the paint off your car then weld lots of beads all over it to look like it's been welded together from lots of patches ...

i think it could look death race, mad maxish, so cool if it was done well... mite look sh*t if it was done badly tho lol it would certainly be
different tho!
If it didnt work out you could grind it down i suppose, and maybe filler it to paint over.... i can see there being a lot of weld distortion tho..
Yeah would have to be done in big pieces, maybe with some rusty paint and spiky wheels. Possibly a few dents on purpose too just to add the "been brawled over" look?
dont forget the bullet holes (or speed holes as homer j would have them!)
Yes! Need some way of doing a mock up of this at some point

Better not show that to SWMBO, she'd freak at someone defiling a 911 like that. Like the idea though.
hahaha good god i think its a well good idea if you get it right, be a right hit at all the kit car shows! have you seen the interior! lol iva nightmare!
So, weld lines all over it to make it look like it's been patched more often than a very patched thing, rusty brown kinda paint to fleck over the
dusty matt black, how about different style wheels all round for that "built from a scrapyard" look?
Along with a few bulletholes (anyone got a shotgun they could pepper it with?) some denting and a semi-loud exhaust I think I could give the
neighbours something to look at!
why don't you just put your bodywork outside under a tree and let birds s**t all over it and then you wouldn't have to weld anything!
well i thought it was funny

gotta have a few rockets tho havent you! or maybe a 50cal mounted in the boot - SWEET! haha getting too into this...
How about a paintball gun on the passenger side? I'd be going too fast to hit anyone though!
Might want a better lump than a bmw 1.8 though for this...
Also how can I make a picture of it? I don't think adjusting someone else's photo in paint is going to cut it...
search google images for 'rat rod'

Oh no some of them just look like they've been washed with a brillo pad, I'm after this kind of idea:

Look at the Rustfire and the Junker IV. I'm after a "built in a shed" or "been through a war" look

this one has screws and things painted on it, to look like its an airplane, it also has a merlin v12 
look about 3.30

Craaaaaap - if i ever see summat like that in my town i think i will just have to brick it!!! eurgh!!
just get it painted on if you want to do it.
expensive no doubt but easy to cover if it looks sh1t
i have a whole load of ali backed road signs that were surplus at work. I alway though it would look cool with a few riveted together to make up a semi hidden panel or something

Well I've seen on another thread somewhere that the locost has the aerodynamic efficiency of a brick, so a few "rusty" holes and dents
can't make it much worse!
I'm gonna have to do some drawing on my next day off, should have something up by friday night if I can find my scanner cable
