Dan Sigl is the metalworker behind Von Franco's "Kookie Kar" and "Lightnin' Bug", I thought you guys might like his personal ride that he just chopped 2". Comments are welcome.
That is one of the ugliest trucks out there in stock form but Dan's is supercool, the list of modifications is a mile long. I love that thing...........his work is top notch.
I dig the truck,but the windshield just doesn't work for me.....but it sure gives me ideas for my 58!!
That truck looks sweet but like brewsir says the windshield needs something, and im thinkin old visor to make it look as low as the side windows. And smoother, but who am I? I dont know shit about customs. I could never pull that truck off in a thousand years.
Stopped by Dan's place this morning and snapped a couple of pic's of his latest mods, fender lips taken from a '55 F-100:
Ugly?! really? I'm fucked up, I guess...I think they are infinitely more attractive than the previous body style...
Looks great. I like the top. It looks like the wheel base and bed are shorter too. The fenders are closer to the Cab.
Impressive work. But the windshield and the late model chevy truck front bumper doesn't do it for me. I really like how he grafted the center of a 56 F100 grille to the 58 headlight assemblies. He does good work. It looks a lot better then anything I've built.
I really like it! I think it has great porportions! I think the narrowing the Front down like that, using the peaked bumper also lends it to a kinda bigger in the back, and smaller in the front look. Makes it look like its going fast, just sitting there. I think its outstanding! I hope he keeps it simple and clean like it currently is instead of adding a bunch of junk to it like often is seen among customs such as this is heading towards.
