Nice to see a Ford in a Ford, but... yet this is sick and wrong.

 

I see the flat head, but what exactly is the rest of it? A bronco II with a '56 grill?

 

................................or shouldn’t!

 

Other than the stance, color and the wheels it looks pretty cool.
There is a Ford Probe at Bonniville that runs a Flatmotor.

 

Unique......Different...... Excellent Fabrication/Adaptation Skills.....lots of personal touches..... all the things I like........ do not have to worry about having an exact copy parked next to you at a show Love It!!!!

 

ok now that different. while i admire the work that goes into those mini truck thingy mabob street scrapers they just arent my style. now the grill does look kinda cool on there might have to look into that for my ranger. and i really have no ideal why you would waste a flatmotor in that, i think some honda 4 banger with two turbos would be more fitting (and have more power). just goes to show that anything is possible with enough brains, work, and beer. think the last one won out on this project.

 

Well lets see here, when you have a really cool engine and a whole pile of crap and you combine the two what do you get?

A big pile of crap with a really cool engine.

I hate the stance, I hate the colors, I hate the wheel/tire combo......LOL. Thats why this hobby is so great though....each of us can make a pile of crap just the way we want to

It certainly is unique. That is as far as I will go

 

Great post Bobby...that about sums it up.

 

It's like a Pekingese dog, it's so ugly it's cute!

Not '56 grille though, I think it's a '53. Probably the one they got the flattie from.

The person who Frankensteined that together sure has a wild imagination, or some really good pharmaceuticals!!!

 

Hotrodding is all about using your imagination to pull together available parts and make a vehicle that suits your tastes. I am sure that he (or she) is very proud of this vehicle and I believe rightfully so. We easily pick out the flathead motor and the 53 grille but think about all those guys who run in this slammed minitruck crowd...I bet none of them have even seen a flathead or a 53 F100. This owner has really broken the mold with this truck...I'm impressed!

 

CharlieLed, I agree with you, I too am impressed when someone can be different and also do the job, Garry

 

maybe a grandpa/grandson project. "now boy, I'll help ya build your truck but its gotta have a real motor in it and by gum yur gonna learn how to fix it too. And we'll put some real metal up front instead of that plastic junK while we're at it"
