I saw this a few years right after the guy quit working on it.
I told him he should have used the Champion 6 motor and a Hawk grill...
It's too complex, and I don't like the rear end at all.

I keep seeing it on craigslist, and every time I see it I burp up my lunch.

I agree about the front grille..
He lost all the 'Stude' when he put that nose on it....
(Sort of like putting an ear on as a nose on Mr. Potato Head).
There are some real interesting aspects of the car.
Hopefully, another visionary artist will 'rub on it' some more...

The nose stix out way to long also, makes it look front-heavy.

A swarm of lost car parts, desperately seeking a theme. He has managed to destroy most of the finest and most distinctive styling features of the '53 C/K body, in the course of making a custom. For what he was aiming to do, a '53 Plymouth Cranbrook sedan would have done as well.
