There’s an expression car guys use, “You can’t put lipstick on a pig.” There will soon be another expression that they’ll use. It will be something along the line of, “You can’t make a 1989 S-10 look like a ’32 Ford.” Obviously lots of work and effort went into this build, but it just looks kind of weird.
The front end is kind of aardvark-esque with the ’32 Ford grill and bucket headlights kind of jutting our like Jay Leno’s chin. The vehicle is tall where it should be short, lengthy where it should be bobbed, and wide where it should be narrow. We give the guy some credit for putting in maximum effort on the attempt but it just isn’t working for us.
Judging by the bidding response at the time of this writing, it isn’t working for many others either. We say put the hot rodded 350 in an actual S-10 truck, sell all the ’32 Ford bits and go have some fun. At least then the stares you’ll get will come from folks wondering is there is a V8 in the little truck, instead of folks wondering what in the name of bloody Hell you’re driving.

Thanks for the tip BigDad!
