But this is an ugly truck thread. How can you have 90% Ford and ugly truck?

I watched the newer show "Vegas Rat Rods" for the first time. They do some nice work and spend a lot of time on the details. They didn't destroy a perfectly good truck to make their creation rather used bits and pieces from various scrap yards. The end result would not be my choice for Top honors in a car show but they did put a lot of thought and work into it.

This jewel was at a local cruise in. I would call it a creative storage of vintage memorabilia rather than ugly. The gentleman that owns it put an old Cadillac drivetrain with the 500 c.i. in it.

I have to look at this stuff as art, at least someone's interpretation of art.

Functional transportation, not so much.

Don't laugh - I almost went and looked at that! It was on my local craigslist a while back. It is a 1953 Chevy cab that is chopped, nosed and decked. 1960 T-bird box. 272 Pontiac Inline 6 motor. 2000 S10 chassis. Ad said it needed finishing. I think it was painted to look like a patina finish. Thought that it would benefit from a new paint job. They were asking $5,500.

Agree that some of these have some workmanship into them. I may not always like what was done, but can appreciate the work. This thread is starting to remind me of a decal I saw recently that read: I didn't build it for your approval...
