Another day, another creation from another dude with a dollar and a dream. Oh, and a former Postal Service Jeep and some serious metalworking skills. Dean Shorey, Seabreeze Amusement Park's master ride mechanic – emphasis on "master" – took an old small-block and paired it with a mail truck, then dressed that heart in a fairly accurate representation of a Colonial Viper from the original Battlestar Galactica. And it's street legal, which is why there are New York license plates front and rear. On the other hand, there are no bumpers front or rear, but in space, no one can hear you... rear-end someone... Hat tip to Ed
OOYYO's comment:
I couldn't help but put this one up for you all to see. As a child growing up I religously watched Battlestar Galactica and often dreamed of owning my own Colonial Viper, well Cheerio to Dean for having the the vision and the dream to make it his own reality. I can only imagine the kind of attention one would get whilst driving this Viper down the Sunset strip, It wouldn't be bad for picking up women either I suppose. I mean who wouldn't go for a spin in this baby. Maybe for his next project he could turn a Hummer into a Ceylon Raider. Click on images below for a better look.
