    I seen the front end on a wagon, I wasn't for sure if this was another one. I hadn't seen the Ranchero version before. Lot of kool kustom work.. Thanks for the info...

    Of all the T-bird bumper swaps I've seen, this one fits the front the best and looks really good from that angle, but I agree, from the side, too much "ramp angle", a small body color rolled pan underneath could look nice, but as long as I don't have to do the metalwork, here's my suggesion.

    So, what is on the Ranchero now? It seems a shame to dismantle it!

    I don't know who inspired whom, but the look was perfected by Joe Ortiz, on Jimmy Gimenez' '56 T-Bird (c. 1963).
