Rich Wait is converting a 1961 Corvair Rampside pickup into a unique hot rod at his company Hot Rod Factory in East Bethel, Minnesota. The widened and stretched body lays over a custom tube chassis with an adjustable coilover suspension. In the bed sits a twin-turbo LSx V8 expected to make 1,500 horsepower. View more photos of the project in the build album.

Every rear photo looking at the top of the photo, it seems the left side of the engine is up 2-3″ above the top bedrail???

Whoops….By the way…..THIS RIDE IS RAD DAD! WAAAAAY COOL!!! And at second look, the engine might not be actually mounted yet.
looks stock to me
lmfao!
In that second to last photo, that long diagonal tube running to the right rear could have been put in straighter. If anyone is going to judge this, that will get picked up very quickly.
Thats a torque offset 🤔😂
