I agree with PETE also where are his shorts??

deuce lover · 04-07-2014, 02:29 PM

That is very cool.If only he'd have used the flathead to power the rotiserie.

Neal · 04-07-2014, 02:32 PM

Thumbs up from me. He keeps another old Ford from being scraped. The pickup has a purpose and nicely done.

Naaaay!! We all forget what cars and trucks are for! They are not lawn ornaments,not furniture,not barbecues,etc!! They are to be driven!! Saved it from scrapper? How do you know? If he didn't turn into a barbecue maybe someone would have it on the road where it belongs!! Pete

Not my cup of tea, but with that said it is his do what he wants too. Better to be a cool yard center piece for parties then crushed and shipped overseas. I'm surprised he didn't turn the cab into a refrigerator for his kegger.

Sounds exactly like what someone would say to the owner of a 'trailer queen'

Better than the typical butcher job with a Mustang front end, garbage truck engine and easter egg color.

Vic Piano · 04-07-2014, 04:17 PM

Apparently he's not the only Ford BBQ guy around...

BBQ... I like mine well done, and done well...

gmc1941 · 04-07-2014, 04:22 PM

It could be a lot worse! It could have had a beautiful paint job.

Some of you guys would bitch if they hung you with a new rope.

Isn't that the truth. Nice job and well done.

I like the kegger idea. Leave out the hardwood. Someone wants his brown water he can BYOB.

B-O-B · 04-07-2014, 06:35 PM

Nothing wrong with a cold brew or some brown water on ice so why not have both. I wonder where he hid the boom box for the 50/60 s music.?

dude · 04-07-2014, 06:48 PM

Love it! the guy is thinking outside the box , rather than sitting inside one.
It would be great at any car event.

Talkwrench · 04-07-2014, 06:57 PM

Not what I would like to see done to it. However he hasn't butchered the body and what he has done to it is easily taken off, Im hopeful that it will be saved and returned to a nice running truck one day..

Rowdy · 04-07-2014, 07:39 PM

Fortunately there are still quite afew F-1's and decent original sheetmetal left. Rear fenders seem to be the hardest thing to find good originals of. Rod

Shadetree · 04-07-2014, 08:08 PM

Personally I would not have done this to what looks like a pretty decent F1. But like I have always said, to each his own. We can't tell them what they should or should not do with their vehicles. We may not agree but it belongs to them... c'est la vie!

itsa52 · 04-08-2014, 02:16 AM

I like it.. Hasn't really hurt it, other than that BBQ in back is going to peel some paint I believe.. Heck turn the cab into a smoker..

tiger.1000 · 04-08-2014, 05:18 AM

I reckon he's really summed up the definition of HOT rod !

zzlegend · 04-08-2014, 07:08 AM

And it seems like some guys have a "beef" with him and are raking him over the "coals".

TStiles · 04-08-2014, 08:53 AM

Having built a '51 F1 and a '53 F100, this makes me sad.
