I think this has to be a record for grill teeth in a grill.
Lets see a monkey face squeeze this many teeth in its mouth!

Does look like a solid truck though. I was suprised to see a flathead in it too.

WAY too much Budweiser involved in some of these builds. The amazing thing about this one is the fact he kept a flathead in it, despite all of the other radical changes. When somebody goes this far with a truck like that, they must accept that they're stuck with it, unless they cut the price WAY down and find another lunatic in the world who thinks the same way. BTW, why does he call it a 51?

A different set of wheels and i dont think that would be a bad looking truck. Other than the grill, there really isnt anything else thats different from any other bagged build, unless im missing something.

Wow. Now I know who has been buying all the grilles on E-Bay. Every last one of them.

That truck can get returned back to stock configuration with some effort. I like all that real steel in it. Except the grille teeth. I'd sell those extras and get a nice front bumper instead.

Thanks Josh for sharing this. A retired oral surgeon might be interested in this to buy. And keep his extraction skills in tune.

The front end is '52 for sure. May want to scrutinize the frame serial no's and compare to the title???

He says the headlights are brass, and the only brass/copper I'm seeing is the spotlights?? I sure don't see any for-real headlights...

Maybe the spot lights are the only headlights it has. If so, I don't think it would even pass an inspection in Kentucky.

I'm thinking the headlights have to roll or fold out, like some kind of crazy batmobile or a toronado. If the spotlights were the headlights, you could turn them around backwards and get the guy behind you to dim his hi-beams....

Ya its been for sale on Craigslist for a couple months. I like that he kept the flathead. You see way too many customs with 350s in them.

Those spotlight/headlights would not be legal in any state, must have a daylight use only registration on it if it is registered in CA. There are a number of other details I can't understand (doesn't help pictures do not enlarge for me)
IMHO this is definitely a niche style build (LA ghetto lowrider?) that would only appeal to that market at that price.
