But this one will make you wonder why. Head to the HP to check out all the gorgeous photos of Clem 101!

 

Quite honestly it just doesn't work for me on many levels " rims , color , seat , tailgate lettering ?

 

Agreed! And the 54 grille (which I like) doesn't look good with a 56 cab.

 

Doesn't do much for me, I'm sure its incredibly well built though. They did break the #1 F100 commandment: Thou shall not put a '54 grill on anything except a '54(and even then you should think twice about it).

 

Having seen what the Ring Brothers have done to other projects this doesn't do much for me. And the statement those are Gorgeous photos I hope is sarcasm. Cause those pictures were horrible! LOL

 

At least they kept it Ford powered; they usually put a LS in everything. They did a 65/6 Mustang 2+2 and a Pantera both LS. The Pantera is or was owned by Richard Rawlings of Gas Monkey fame and was on one of his episodes.

The do phenomenal work regardless, but anything other than correct stock is an interpretation and like this one, it's not for everyone.

 

I don't think it reflex's the styling of an updated F100 of that period especially the tailgate and if my eyes are deceiving me, it looks like the parking lights, grill and gravel shield don't quite line up ( maybe it's just the reflection )
If I had to compare to past designs, I'd have to go with Dave Kindig and his stretched and lowered 54'-

This cracked me up. Ha ha!

 

You hurt my feelings.

 

Mine too!!!

 

 

This is just my opinion, but I absolutely detest that thing. I just cannot, with an open mind, see who this kind of build appeals to. It seems like a box-ticking project, to please as many as possible in one project. And why did they have to mention what oil and coolant it's running, like that's some kind of rare spec? This truck and that whole scene doth rub me the wrong way this evening. Sorry guys.

But on the flip side, I wish I had half the talent and budget of these guys, then I could create something that I did love.

 

Tough crowd. Its definitely not quite as over the top as their other builds , which I like. I think the 54 grille looks pretty good. Not how I would build it, but I wouldnt say no if they wanted to send it my way.

 

I agree. Nothing special and the grill is just weird. And I have seen much better seats here on FTE. These look like they came from a '90s base model Dodge Dakota. And it has a "custom bed built from scratch"? Lots of work to do that as several here can attest. For a show truck it looks pretty much the same IMHO. Up close and personal it may be different. But the 50/50 look isn't much different.

 

ehhh.... In their position you have to come up with 'different' approaches if you want that sponsor money, notoriety and advertising co-op. I've only seen a few of their projects, mostly on Leno's show, and have enjoyed seeing their level of workmanship and design. However this project fails to bring anything new or noteworthy to the table, they probably should have left it a dusty corner of the garage until they came up with some true inspiration.
