Semi-Truck Chopper
I think that the Semi-Truck Chopper project on Monster Garage was one of the coolest things they’ve done. It strikes just the right balance between being odd enough to be really interesting yet still close enough to being a normal, drivable vehicle that I can imagine wanting to drive it around attracting attention.
Most of the projects are interesting and make for great TV, but they generally are the kind of thing that is very hard to imagine anyone building outside of the context of the show. World’s fastest street line painter? How about fire engine limo or donut car? Great TV, but wacky ideas. It’s hard to imagine custom car enthusiasts building their own versions.
At the other extreme, some of the vehicles are almost too normal. The tailgate party vehicle, for example. The idea was kinda-sorta conventional, just taken to a somewhat over-the-top extreme.
Peterbuilt trike, thought, that’s perfect. I want one.
