To give the guy some sympathy, what was his objective?
My guess is - he was a young guy (probably a young teenager) who had some inventive thoughts in mind, time on his hands and maybe a spare Russian boxer twin lying around.
He probably had an idea of using the back end /shaft drive of that as a front end for his own FWD special and used what he had lying around the farm.
So, with his Dad's welder a hammer and a hacksaw, he gave it a go!
Good on him, - he had plenty of initiative, maybe he lacked some skills and materials, but he did try and probably eventually moved on to greater things, learning by his mistakes and by managing to withstand the inevitable shit slinging he would encounter as he progressed, becoming stronger for that! ........ as always, I could be wrong.
