The rear tires are nice. I just can't say any other good things about it...

Even guys who hack up a slant cab still feel obligated to tack a 56 grille on it...

It's got a Crown Vic front end on it with space saver spares to keep the offset right. ;p

They called Chip Foose and he said the 56 grill flows best with boat trailer tail lights.

Clearly, safety was a focus of the build. Heck, the passenger restraint system attests to several nanoseconds of design effort.

It has potential if you just rid it of the upper sheet metal, looks as though the frame and drive train is done well. If it comes with a title all one would need is a body and proper box.

You guys really need to work on your tolerance. This builder is visionary as evidenced by the sensible mods. I see this as an extension of Ford's timeless design, with some notable improvements that address critical engineering weaknesses.

-junk Ford engine is thankfully gone!
-annoying window fuzzy issues completely solved
-unnecessary curves removed, you could block this thing out and paint it in a day!

I could go on but I have some block sanding to do. I'm just a little bit disappointed in my FTE forum friends right now.
