Mike Burroughs the Kanye West of the BMW community.

It'll be interesting to see where this one goes.

I got a good laugh out of that one. :D

Welcome to the boards mike!

Thanks! Been here a little while though. :)

I think some custom valve covers made to resemble the ones on a Ford flathead (or similar), and some velocity stacks or a custom intake would make it look much more at home. It would still be too tall, but I doubt there's an easy solution for that.

Boom.

That's why it's not working for me.

Make it look less BMW and more domestic. Or make it look more like a Dixi.

He's not trying to have it look like a cookie cutter hot rod, it's supposed to be a blending of styles he's into. If he was to spend the money to make it look like an old American V8, why wouldn't he just put an old American V8 in it?

Looks cool. We need more unique builds like this, keeps things interesting.

With the current state of things, I don't bother going to many car shows anymore... It's all the same thing.

Oh, and considering Rusty Slammington, I gotta give props. Another car, portraying the personality of the owner. Isn't that what this is all about? I can't comment much, as I have never met Mr. Burroughs, but there is definitely a strong link between this and the last.

Mike is actually a Bmw purist at heart(for instance, he doesn't like my engine swap), and has built some of the most beautiful cars.

But.... Rusty Slammington had a 1jz didn't he?

I can agree to a point, you need to keep fuel injection in a fuel injected car though....

Interesting idea.

Is the engine meant to stand out or do you plan on making it blend in a little more?

A for effort and direction of the build. I saw this truck and almost fell out when I saw the m60 in there. I like the "genuine"ness of this build. I can definitely appreciate the "as is" finish to the body and wouldn't want to rock that truck with a fresh coat of paint, maybe some clear...maybe. I'm a fan of hotrods and ratrobs, and I just dig this for it's uniqueness.

here are some of the pictures i snapped.

Hmm now that's something different,I like it much better than his previous work.

Loving the kill switch on the outside, I would turn it off at a red light on him. Such is the ways of motorcycle owners that ride together.

Wow douche maneuver. I'm totally going to bust that out with my buddies next time we ride lol.

[lambo]

Wow, it looks so much better in real pictures versus the Instagram ones.

I think it's awesome as-is. All it needs is a wire tuck sorta thing.
