HOMELY - you may be a homie but a custom 300 is anything but HOMELY! It may be ugly with its bug-eyed headlights but folks have been frenching them for years to help clean up the frontal appearance. The rest of the car (in my opinion) has nice lines and isn't a Fairlane.

Oh, well, that is why they make so many models so everyone can find the one they want to put an LS in!!

The LS is homely, not the car. I love the car.

there's even less art in people discouraging 13 year kids. All it takes is to be old and bitter.

Are you trying to say that if you don't think an LS is Art you are being old and bitter and mean to 13 year olds? Chevy put a bag over pretty much the entire engine to hide it in the Corvette. I wouldn't send anybody out into the world with an LS swapped classic Ford if they weren't pretty thick skinned already. Me teasing it for being homely is pretty much nothing compared to what some people are going to say.

There's not much art in looking at an LS. Maybe if you put a bag over it?

my point remains the same, don't build your car for the internet.

Oh hell no ! If we did we’d all be building Camaros

Every Ford derby car we ran was Chevy powered ♀️

That's a really clean 300! The only '57 Ford body I like is the 300 2 dr. sedan! Great looking cars!

it'll be great with an LS

and for the purists.... the Y block in the car was welded to fix a crack above the starter.... there is no saving that pig... it also needs mufflers (they have holes in them) and, in the proper BS way, we swap the motor/trans/suspension to fix that kind of problem
