All the time and effort, then he blows it.

That mess on the door screws it up pretty good too. I cant imagine anyone getting so far and then going off he rails. Looks like he bought it almost complete and then decided to make it look "really kewl" :wacko:

I agree, probably could have had MACCO shoot some cheap black enamal on it for what somebody would have charged to paint that gypsy, or at least several cases of Duplicolor and rattle can some basic color on it. Not like they're trying to spray bomb a big van, truck, or station wagon, even hitting up sites like Dip Your Car could allow for a decent "paint" job for cheap!

Probably did the same thing that many of us have done to get a car on the road for a show or just to drive it and grabbed either what was available while looking for the right parts or just doesn't care about pleasing the crowd or anyone else than him/her self! They lost me at the lame spider web grill insert.

The lack of paint on the exhaust system indicates to me that this is an "Unfinished" Hot Rod. As far as Chevy engine blowing it, Ford was still running the Flathead when Chev already had the 265 Small Block in production. This engine was at the time superior to the Flathead and is indeed a period correct engine choice, there are far more early mounts and adapters out there for the smallblock Chev than any other engine. (Just look around at the next swap meet that you attend, that question will be answered within the first 10 - 15 minutes.) Ford in a Ford has only been recent trend (in appreciable numbers) they've always been around but there have been more small block chevs than any other engine.
