1952-59 Ford Another Chop Fail ?

I posted a few months ago that these pop up on craigslist here is the latest. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/d/glendale-1952-ford-customline/6793728615.html

 

Here's one not messed with (hood latch ?) https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/eloy-54-ford-sedan/6788503766.html craigslist gets busy when it's Barret-Jackson time here.

 

I've seen worse. Too bad about the three fitty...

 

I am sure I commented on that one before regardless hood and trunk lid mods at least they did not use a can opener on it.I think the other one has a set of valve stems that you could save
