Hasn't everyone seen at least one 57 Chevy butchered that way? It's always amazed me how little correlation there is between time and money and taste. ???

I'm a Ford guy, but come on, it's not that bad.

It's a real back seat driver . . . .

The top sort of looks like a mid-60s Stingray removable hardtop.

And it's already such a freak that it would make a trick altered wheelbase "gasser." Just put in a tube axle and move it about half a foot forward . . . .

Or to be really "off-the-chain" wild, move the rear axle forward, too (not so sure about the driveshaft though) Street wheelie time!

An even wilder mod would be to lengthen the front clip a tad to give it more of a "cab rearward" look (Think Holman-Moody A/FX Mustang (http://www.holmanmoody.com/drag_gal.html)

Some how I suspect that if the builder had left it a bland, boxy four-door Chevy II, that it would be almost invisible at shows and cruises.

On occasion there's something to be said for invisibility. :D

Back in the 80's,my buddy owned a wrecking yard.He built a 61 Falcon similar
to this one but kept the stock drivetrain.It was very well done and looked like it came from Ford.
Very cute car.

I think the Falcon would look better as a shorty.

Well, you did get a WTF !! out of me.
After getting over my initial reaction, I started to really look at the picture.
Like Brian said, it was a ton of work, and pulled off rather well also.
Kinda reminds me of a Nova T-Bird, but I still come back to ...

... WHY ??
