Hudsy Wudsy Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Looking at the first picture, it appears to me that they've actually managed to change the angle of the way the headlight is mounted. Doesn't it appear that it's aimed slightly off to the outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t these people stick to ruining ugly cars? I think because of supply. Hot Rods are usually not this crowd's cup of tea but in the big picture there is a surplus of 1940 Ford trucks, and you can almost build one from a catalog. The chassis on this one is likely not original, we don't know but I suspect the cab was missing - again you can buy one from a catalog - and it might have had the cab but not much else. Most of what you see here is fabricated and he likely did not use much of a 1940 Ford truck to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This truck is the poster child for the recently retired harangued husband who worked 30 + years for the "man" and has a nice home for the family and all the kids went or are going to college on 'pops' and now it's time to drop some coin and have fun, without the work. Having said that, THIS trucks custom styling is really bad, and I think the seller will continue to enjoy it. Or not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty mopar Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The boat was for sale on Craigs shitlist 200.00 So I bought it. Now to figure out if the 426 hemi powering it will start. He said it came out of a 1971 Hemi Cuda convertible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Well it seems you were told a different tale Marty. 😁 My guess is the Minnow had an old flathead in it. Boat is still prettier than that truck!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Since we are already discussing the SS Minnow, I have to ask the eternal question: Ginger, or MaryAnne? Back to the original topic: customs by definition risk appealing to a very small number of people. I have seen worse, but I wouldn’t pay much for this one. I’d rather have a banged up, somewhat rusty original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrudy Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The whole front end looks too weird for words. IMO cut the front sheet metal off and start over, must have been high to come up with that design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesR Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The idea that someone could improve on a factory '40 Ford or '39 Ford Deluxe grille... I actually like street rods and hot rods, but I think that three completely different styles of front end air intakes is too many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
