Re: When will someone do this?

You know most of the bodywork on that is so straight one could probably bend up a reasonable facimile on top of a caprice/crown vic/s10 chassis

Dunno how that would fly with the rules.

I've given up on trying to talk Eyesore into doing this. Perhaps the Cannonball Bandits?

Re: When will someone do this?

Isn't the OEM hood and fender rule getting in the way, though?

Re: When will someone do this?

The OEM hood & fender rule is so theres something actually there and not paper mache and chicken wire, no?

  Im sure the hood and fenders used would be oem-ish out of a u pull it.

Re: When will someone do this?

Anybody notice how the intakes say it's a V10, but the exhaust says V8? I'd go with a V10 Dodge chassis if you can find one cheap enough.

That's how the real one was:

It was powered by a 289 Ford V8, but it had 10 Stromberg carbs on the intake manifold.

Does anybody else see the striking resemblance between Eddie Munster and Judge Johnny besides me?

Re: When will someone do this?

I've gotta say, the Model T GT is a better fit for this, but we'll consider it. smile
