Oh no, weak stomachs avert your eyes!

This is really horrible.

Want a 40s Ford that's built on the 89-97 Thunderbird?




How about a '57 Chevy, yeah, the classic shoebox, built on a late model camaro platform!!









If you're diggin' these, then for <$4k for the Ford and <$6k for the Chevy you can build your own (assuming you have the requisite donor car.

The Ford is bad but the Chebbie is just plain horrific.

The lines of the donors are not even close to the originals.

Crap.

That's kind of like guys who buy a SWB 911 and than do a slant-nose conversion with flares.

Ugh!!!!

The blue '57(?) speaks to me.
I'm not sure what it's saying, but at least it's talking. More than I can say about most cars lately.

The chev reminds me of the original batmobile. In a bad way.

The Ford thing looks like they had a cool idea, started from the front, got to the windshield and say... ahh nevermind.
