We know--it's the dead of winter. That's no excuse not to be planning capers for next summer, because if you're anything like us, winter ain't long enough to even come close to finishing the dream project that's currently staining the garage floor. Think we're wrong? We'll even bet you a bill that it won't be done by April. Meanwhile, we'll take that same 100-spot to Vegas, parlay it into a cool G, and spend the thou' on a cool cruiser. A killer beater. Chump-change turned Spanish Fly on wheels.

In recent months, Car Craft has pretty much beaten you to death with the low-buck stick. Sure, we’re all for spending our every dime on a project, but we’re also out to prove that you can have fun with a car even if your every dime adds up to less than the rent. So take some of the ideas spilled here, cruise your boffo summertime wheels for cheap, and park it out front. Your landlord will understand.
