Gem in the Rough: Someone (or something) that has hidden exceptional characteristics and/or future potential, but currently lacks the final touches that would make them (or it) truly stand out from the crowd.

... Yikes !!

I don't know if any of you guys been around here that long, but that reminds me of a Caddy boat that was for sale a few years back down by Miami that had chain link fence and chicken wire for the cage, a ladder of part of the rigging (or was it the grass rake?) and metal roof panels for the rake. Can't even remember all the stupidity captured in one place on that one. That boat could have been pictured with the definition of a FU'd POS.

That thing made a drunken, Frankenstein type novice effort look like a new Lamborghini.
Maybe that guy moved after honing his craft, and is now building minis.

Better put some wheels on those jackstands before you go down the road
I could see some Cubans washing up on the beach with cement mixer motor on the back of that

Maybe I have a soft spot for unique, but I kind of like that. It would look kinda neat with a facelift.

I'm no neighbor of Bud's, but it looks to me like it could fit the bill for how I envision it possibly being used up there. I wish there were more pictures, as I would like to get a better look at that cowling. That is pretty slick looking to me. Probably works better to contain heat up there, than it would help with cooling down here though.
