It’s not everyday that you see a hot rod on the road, much less one shaped like a helmet, but that’s exactly what AJ Bohata created. Modeled after the helmet of a knight’s armor, the project began with rectangular tubing cut and TIG-welded for the chassis.

A giant propane tank that’s been reskinned with thinner metal is used as the cabin, while the face shield doubles as a hydraulic door. The interior may not have much in the way of technology, but the most important gauges for vital stats and a second panel overhead, which controls the air-conditioning, lights, etc., can still be found. Since the metal work alone would cost at least $80K, Bohata values the vehicle somewhere around the ballpark of $200K.
