The Snake Pit HHR concept was to send the HHR into a time machine, and transform it into a circa-1949 / 1950 Panel Van with classic moon rims, and custom retro paint using a vintage GM color paint scheme!

:D Appreciate the feedback and the welcome,

Wow...that's one snazzy HHR. Looking good. :thumb:

That wood reminds me of all the oak in my parents house. It's pricey but beautiful. Love oak!!! :thumb: :thumb:

Nice ride I use to live in Escondido then moved to Murrieta now in Florida

This is possibly the sweetest HHR I've seen. :cool:

Found it doing some casual searching and thought I'd bump it for others to see.

Now that's a custom HHR...........none of this bolt-on crap!;) Can we get a shot of the other side? I'm guessing you left the drivers door a single and just shaved the door handle?

I think my nuts just dropped.......AGAIN!!!

Hi BigMoCats,

Can you clarify what you ment about the bolt on crap? not referring the the HHR built at the pit at the top of this thread right?

If so, the Snake Pit HHR was built BEFORE GM even made an HHR panel, it was all hand made including the wood deck. Nothing bolt on there...windows shaved, doors shaved...gull wing all hand made buddy! It was actually this and other panel conversions that inspired the new panel hhr.

btw, the HHR in your pic is great, props there :)

Hi BigMoCats,

I believe he was giving you props on a very nice job, and that all mods are functional, and not just stick ons.

Agreed! That is exactly what I meant! Most car folks add a few bolt-ons and stickers and think they've got a show car or "hot rod".

Once again...........jealous. Very nice :thumb:

i bet that dash makes the panties hit the floor,,,, awsome!!

And to think we almost got to see Snake Pit in person. I was really looking forward to see you at DejVous Rendevous. Maybe next year. Are you goiing to be at Cruisen for a Cure? You have ONE GREAT VERY CUSTOM HHR.

See ya down the road

That is one sweet ride. Love the way the side door opens. :thumb: :thumb:

And all you need is (in no particular order) time, money, and skill. In copious quantities.
Almost forgot - creativity, imagination and organizational skills. They figure in there, too.
My personal inventory comes up woefully short.

But my sense of appreciation is intact. That's one awesome HHR!
