Is there a story that goes with the photo?

Looks like innovative hot rodding to me. I am not a custom fan but that is certainly better than LOTS of others I see.

Honestly one of the better looking front sheet metal grafts i've seen. Way better than that one with the 90's chevy front end.

With the rotted metal we have on the east coast sometimes you think of the alternatives.
