Doing it is one thing...displaying it on a website is something else altogether!

In all fairness. It does look like a lot of fun! Its been years since I had an old strip down to beat the tar out of. Maybe the truck was pretty danged rough to start with, then I don't really have too much of a problem stripping it down and making a buggy (I wouldn't waste time or money painting it though)
You could have alot of fun hittinng the hills outside of town

ive seen that truck and the website before and if i remember correctly thatsa parts truck that the kid got to help him on his 59 restoration and it was like that when he got it. overall tho there does look like there might be some good parts on it like fenders and stuff but hard to tell from the pics and paintjob. maybe if one cut the windshield off and lowered it way down it would classify as a hot rod roadster.

Here is a 78 f-250 I owned that was originally red but badly faded to pink. It was really rusty and I didn't want to put alot of money in it, didn't want to drive a pink truck so I rattle canned it. I had no problem selling it when I bought my Bronco. I had people at gas stations asking me to sell it. I figured it was mine, if a person didn't liked the way it looked they could turn their head. I thought it was cool.

Maybe he'll drive it into the woods and never be able to find it again?

Good idea Ax then the next generation can find it and wonder how old people had such bad taste in custom trucks. First they will want to verify its numbers match.

I like it, all its missing is a custom stereo system mounted in the dash, with a nice plywood surround.
