    Can't figure out why someone would want to do this to one of the nicest original body styles Ford had? Saw it on FB marketplace and was dumbfounded...

    Sacrilegious! Another’s example of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should”. The front looks a little like an Austin A40.

    No taste, looks like they widened it to do a chassis swap. Is it Free?!

    I don't think that started out as a '40 Ford but rather some other make poorly sculptured to resemble one.

    There's nothing, absolutely nothing on that car that looks good. Not even the windshield wipers!

    He would probably wonder the same about your sense of style/ taste ...

    Whoever did that has no sense of style, and certainly no taste.

    It's gotta be a street rod that was done in the 80s? 90s?

    I've seen cars I don't like but can appreciate, even if they're not my style. I respect others have different likes and wants, so I don't call other people's cars negative things.

    It's hideous by any measure.

  16. Maybe ask Bad Chad. Looks like something he'd do.

    He can wonder about my sense of style and taste too all he wants, if I built something like that. I think it was for sale for $1k if I remember correctly.

    Because someone thought fitting it on a late model chassis would be a good idea. It’s not a Street Rod either.

  20. Its best not to try and figure out why people do the things they do. It will just drive you nuts.

    No kidding. Some of the dumbest looking builds ever. But, he has a reality show and I don't.

    Fit and finish were not among the builders priorities either.

  25. Wish I could've heard the discussion when they were planning this out! Especially the 3rd brake light :D and imagine being there when they pulled the paper off of that paint job! Giving high fives and fist bumps :cool::)
