I mean....it might anyway? But like.....take off the door card and push on it or use a dolly. This isn't super mechanic body guy stuff.

Do that on a panel I can't get reasonable access to from behind and I'll be impressed.

I did not edit, and I also didn’t look closely enough. It is indeed a ‘56, which actually I like. The ‘56 seems to dwell on the shadow of the ‘56, and certainly the ‘57. I don’t actually like ‘58s near as much as the other two. I am biased: my dad has had a ‘55 literally as long as I can remember.

The 58s sold about 500,000 less than the 57s, they didn’t like them then either.

Could have been the depression they had in 58, though.

This is brave and will hopefully make some people realise about the treadmill plane question's answer. Maybe. Some of that lot were thick as gently caress.

I think a lot of small plane airports will have a special truck just for that purpose. In regions that use float planes anyways.

Delivering a new plane to a body of water is probably really complex. But delivering a normal plane to an airport, converting it to a seaplane, then getting towed for takeoff? Simple!

I found a similar photo dump on a thanksgiving break a few years ago and showed my father-in-law. He was telling me how he used to work on them for seaplane companies, then saw the fifth image and said "Does that say Pat Bay Air? I built that". Absolutely awesome AI car poo poo.

I can tell by some of the pixels, and seeing quite a few 'shops in my day. But seriously, it does. The body is just kind of draped on the wheels without much evidence of a beefy frame underneath. The rear wheel has no travel without getting into the sheet metal, also something weird going on at the front corner.

I figured they'd snagged the running-gear imagery from the Pre-runner Rolls I've seen plenty of times before, but no, it's got a different bumper/rack.

https://cowborghini.blogspot.com/ posted:

This work will explore the relationship between designer brand worship, personal body art subcultures and anarchistic yet reversible neo-vandalism.

Influences as diverse as Perini, Gandini and Holstein Friesian bovine variants combine to create new insights crafted with Warholian chutzpah from familiar narratives.

The inception of Cowborghini is the result of new interpretations of our zeitgeist. What starts out as a tendency towards the dramatic disruptive becomes a carnival of contentious sights and sounds, invoking a sense of joyful individualism, violated values and a celebration of order disordered.

As distinct patterns and forms from the natural and manufactured worlds are combined, the viewer is given an insight into the infinite possibilities of dissonant icons and the overwhelming sense of incredulity.

Cowborghini will exuberantly assert its outrageous authenticity to a bewildered audience in motion.
