This Poor...Poor...57 Ford....

Whoever did this to this car should be shot!
The `57 Ford front end is BEAUTIFUL in STOCK form.

 

it`s on Ebay and I think that the seller thinks that is how they came....

 

Yeah, that's a little rough looking alright. That said, I never liked the stock '57 ford mug. I guess there's no accounting for taste.

 

hahaha wasting a chevy frontend on a ford is a sin!!!

 

Just needs a few cans of Bondo to fair in the low spots...

I've always thoght the headlights were an interruption in the flow from the front end to the fender line as fif this guy.
It just needed some English wheel work on the filler panels before ther got welded in, in otherwords, good custom idea not finished yet.
I would have used '58 Edsel light trim down low instead of the 59 Chevy though, just to keep it in the Ford family

 

MY EYE'S!!!!MY EYE'S!!!!

 

Well, that takes care of those pesky mud traps that always rust out...

 

Guess they parted out the hood

 

Who is going to be the first whiner and make the statement.."He put alot of work in it and it's his car, and we can't all like the same thing, and so on and so on and so on.....

 

Damn, I need that grill!

Mootz

 

.."He put alot of work in it and it's his car, and we can't all like the same thing, and so on and so on and so on.....

Happy now?

 

seamless...

at first glance I thought it looked factory.

It's not that bad, I have 57 ford, I've seen this style done on a couple of different 57's. I think the compound curve patch panel is challenge. If done right like the one's I've seen, it don't look too bad, will post images tonight. It takes courage and a lot work. It''s called creativity, not that 4th of July so-called 32 roadster thats sick!

 

You're kidding, right?

 

That is pretty bad. Always liked the 57's headlights better that the later quads. That one is almost as nice as the T-Birds with the 49 Ford front and rear grafted on. People who do that should just be horse whipped.

 

what the hell is going on in this picture.. mr t's head is shrunk.. and "rojo"?? and that hand??? sorry to get off topic

 

WTF was somebody thinking? Oh please post the link so I can "contact the seller"!

 

clam down, he only asking 1000,and that too much

 

say isnt that a very early and lost barris custom ?

 

I think it would be fine if like was said, those filler panels met the fender line properly. A '57 Ford always looked like it was wearing coke-bottle gl***es, to me, anyhow - someone was trying to take the gl***es off this one.

 

hahhahaha

 

This car looks awful familiar. i think this car was an old kustom. 60s style all the way

 

Any shots of the rear, kind of curious.-MIKE

 

Nothing too special about the rest of the car....

Ronnie Milsap LOVES it!!!

 

Definitely a barn find! Its not that bad...

 

At least they didn't add the '59 Chevy's mud traps!

However to quote an oft used phrase in these matters...

" OH, THE HUMANITY!!!!"

 

I was thinking the same thing. I've seen a lot worse. Too bad it's a more door. It looks like a great parts car.

 

Would you rather I had posted this one instead?
