Don't let it bug ya' too much, just go with it!The more I look at it it looks like they've taken another modern car and turned it into a 40 Ford. The doors are not of period and the main structure is totally different.Honestly, I have no clue and that eats at me something fierce!
Sounds like it was quite a nice ride. Do you have any pictures of it.8)Don't let it bug ya' too much, just go with it!
I've built many customs over the years, and in some cases, I used parts from vehicles you'd never guess in a hundred years. The main objective was to create a one of a kind that no one else had done yet!
The only way to know for sure, is to find the owner and ask 'em what it used to be...then eyeball it and see what all the modifications were made from. It can be kind of a fun game, really!
Just a small example out of a huge number of past projects would be my '54 Ford Customliner project years ago. It had '89 Corvette tail lights, a 409 from a 1963 Impala, a '79 Pinto (yes, Pinto) rack and pinion and so on. Had an S&R subframed narrowed 9" with Mickey Thompson Sportsmans all the way around on custom black anodized Centerline classics. The body was highly customized (chopped, dropped, etc) and the engine (and compartment) was done in black and copper (that was real copper, either plated or cast accessories).
There were other '54 Fords at the cruises and show-n-shines, but nothing like mine. That's what it was all about. Make 'em do a double-take and you're getting all the attention!
It really was and sadly, no. Back in the late 90's, one of those things happened in life that can't be avoided, and I lost about 90% of all that I owned, including most of my photo albums and so on. Also happened that my '54 Ford was amongst those things.Sounds like it was quite a nice ride. Do you have any pictures of it.8)
