Why oh why?
Why does someone do so much work to make something so horrendous?

This thing is on the bidding site.

I'd hate to see the mess of wiring stuffed under the dash. From the description it sounds like he used as much as he could from the explorer.

Hopefully all that bondo is covering up some really rusty metal. I'd hate to think he used good sheet metal on that thing.

What's the rear of the car. It doesn't look like a late 40's style, more like late 30's. I can't tell what the trim says.

The trim says FORD F-100. It is a hood side emblem to a "I think" a57-60 ford truck. I am not sure with out researching.

The question is Why? Maybe a high school auto class gone awry? That Jeep front must have been grafted on with several gallons of bondo. Somebody really loves UGLY! And the hood? It must have taken a lot of hours, parts from at least four vehicles, and gallons of bondo.
