Showrod Sunday...Space, The Final Frontier

Chuck Miller is one of my favorite builders, no doubt. He built some off the wall, downright silly stuff, and could follow it up with some damn bitchin' hot rod stuff. From Chuck's more silly side comes the "Crater Raider 1". You almost wonder if this thing even has an engine, as it looks to be the size of a bath tub. Well junior, it does, and somewhere there's a whopping 350cc of martian mower powering this buggy, thanks to a Honda motorsickle.

Showrod Sunday...Chuck Miller

Chuck ran a company called Styline Customs for Promotions, Inc. He built alot of cars for the model car company  MPC, Mattel, etc. He built the c-cab fire truck I posted awhile back. That truck won him the Ridler Award. He also built the full scale versions of the Zingers.
My two faves of his were the Red Baron Roadster and the Wood Burner. In contrast, even as a kid I could never comprehend why they stuck a Pontiac inline 6 in that car. And then the Wood Burner got a twin 6-71 blown 327. Budgets, I guess were the determining factor.
