And the car looks like a pretty nice one before he ruined it! This can't be a mistake, no one could screw up that bad. That is the real sad part, be planned this!
Sadly, there are many people who have absolutely no clue as to what they are doing before "building" an old car. And further will not listen to anyone with even a smattering of knowledge 'cause they want to "do it themselves".
Let's be up front and blunt here. This guy knew nothing when he started, gained no knowledge while he worked on the car, and even after finishing off the car(and I mean finished off), did not recognize the disaster he had wrought. So he's surely cutting up a 40 Ford convertible to install on a Blazer chassis as we speak, as he's learned how awfullly easy it is to "build" a street rod.
I believe even a woman with no automotive experience or a 6-year old child, could have told this joker what a piece of crap he was assembling. Here's hoping he's had enough of hotrodding old cars and will move on to late models, perhaps a Camaro body mounted on a Ford F350 dually chassis would be right up his alley.
There are almost no circumstances where a late model chassis can be used under an early car body and end up with a decent vehicle. It is just so much easier to add a later front suspension and steering to the front of any early frame and a IRS to the rear, and probably more economical too, especially at sale day!
Is it possible to step back and look at this thing and say this looks great? what was he thinking? He must not have any true friends. I wonder what type of reaction he gets at car shows or when he is driving. Got to love those front mud flap type things behind the front wheels. Henry Ford would turn over in his grave if he caught a glimpse of this blatant disrespect of a vintage Ford. RIP Henry the rest of us will make you proud.
Geeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!! :nono: :nono: :nono: :smash: Did that guy actually think that it looks good!? I almost fell out of my chaisr when I saw that!!!!!!!!
hey i dont appreciate all you guys picking on my show car. you guys are all just jealous and probably conspiring to steal it. hahahaha i cant breathe. sorry i had to ITS JUST SO RIDICULOUS
^ yep.......notice how close the fenders are attached.....how the hell is he supposed to turn....Mabey thats why the passenger sides' sidewall is gettin ripped to shreds, the old rubber cant take it and is peeling off, showing the sign of major rubbing....
At least the guy selling it took some pics to show you the front end. And actually it wouldn't take much to fix it. Or at least that's how i see it. :shrug:
