Mark VIII Frankenstein

I would take it i like shoe box cars
Chris this is no kit. Thoes mn12/fn10 kits are grafted onto the body
this is s 50 body on a mark viii
 
its pretty cool and kinda like this s10/c10 im building now. i used a s10 frame motor firewall and floor and put a 65 c10 body on it so now the c10 has heat ac cruise and a 4 banger that gets 25+mpg

Yank that sh*tbox 4 cyl out and throw in a 5.3 LS..probably can achieve just as good of gas mileage with way more power..

It's actually a 1950 Ford body apparently welded to a 1998 Mark VIII unibody undercarriage. It is not one of those kits where you graft a '49/'50 Ford front and rear end onto a 90's T-Bird body. According to the description, this one is a full custom built off an actual '50 Ford body. And those are '06 Pontiac G6 17" wheels according to the description. Personally, I love it. I'd drive the heck out of it. It's just what I'd want. A classic 50's Ford body with modern drivetrain, suspension, interior, and creature comforts. If I could afford it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

If that's what the owner wanted it would have been done. But you would be surprised that with the 65 sheet metal on it its actually a few hundred pounds lighter than a s10 and that little 2.2 will smoke the 22x12s in the back with no problem, and once I'm done with my part he's having a super charger made for it. Pretty sweet if you ask me.
 
Chop the top a little and then we'd be talking. throw on some matching wheels. But I like it, just needs more work
