Reader Project: Backseat Drivers Wanted

Greg Gerwitz runs an old-fashioned, family-owned auto repair shop. And here’s one of his family projects. With help from his son, Dave, and daughter, Christine, he cut two Dodge Caravans in half and seamlessly joined the front halves. The result is a driveable vehicle; the false “front end” has taillights instead of headlights, unsteerable wheels and a gas tank instead of an engine under the hood.

“We built it, I guess, just because we could.”  — Dave Gerwitz
