Weirdest modifications on a 40

What are some of the weirdest modifications you have seen in real life, or on the internet that has been done to a forty? I have seen some pretty wacky stuff online, and thought it would be fun to share some pictures of some of them here. I’ll start. This one is pretty cool, but pretty wacky...

Agreed. Diesel cruisers are the best

40 and 55 series cruisers age far better than later models.
They build character with every bump, scrape, paint fade and rust hole.

Who said 45s were impossible to make ugly?
