I consider those customs and would drive any of them.   :bigsmile:

That means the car below my post is also a hack job. 

Now I am a hacker!!    :woohoo: :roflsmiley:

Oh well!

The Challenger wagon owner is a member here.
This type of thing is what got custom cars started. Who wants stock all of the time anyway?

It seems to me that we all/some have different ideas of what we
consider "hack"

Interesting, and great topic none the less man  :thumbsup:


 Here's a pic of my rear wheelwell lip.
Bondo was just splattered right over the rust on the lip, and not even sanded or smoothed out at all.
Just painted it, and done  :eek4:

Here is the definition of the term "hack job" from the Wikitionary.

The completion of a task in the quickest possible time at the expense of quality or attention to detail.

A hack is when a blue collar or middle management income trys to compete in the land of wealth . example 75k income family wants a car that will exceed a years gross income .a fair savings of 10% = 7.500 would take 10 years to own if built by a pro . or settle with what you can afford some times hack work is just right for ones budget no hack no car becomes just a dream .or spend many years to perfect ones skills and do it your self.

And here's one at the head repair place I saw when I was getting mine looked at.
They told me somebody tried to repair it themself.


Anyone else with any pics?
Surely there must be some more out there.

I believe that the back half of that Challenger wagon was beyond saving, which is one of the reasons why he turned it into that.
