Isn't it amazing how people half way around the way get enthused about what us people in Ohio can do? My guese, do to the look around the steering box, is that it's on the S 10 Blazer variety frame. Probably that much value in the parts (especially if it's titled as an "A"). Too bad about the wheelbase. It could be staightened out though. If it's titled as a Blazer. It would be worth more money if it was sold as a re-bodied Blazer with a Model "A" clip on the front GPster '53 Chevrolet Belair disguised to look like a '51 Chevrolet truck disguised to look like a "Rat Rod (truck)"
Hmmm. I wonder if we could enact some Tool Control laws that would help prevent this kind of tragedy. Nah, probably wouldn't work any better than the 250 or so gun control laws we have. :wink:
I've thought for years that acetylene and sawzall blades should be sold only with a prescription, this is a classic example of why. At first I thought it was a joke, that somebody had set a nice A body on an S-10 frame for laughs, but if it's a joke they went to a lot of trouble to put front fenders on it. I suppose the body alone is worth the $$ providing they haven't cut up the floor to make it fit.
Boy you guys are hard! :shock: My 34 Ford is going to look about like that :roll: , now I'm scared to post any pictures. Guess I'll just hide in the garage a while more. :twisted:

Yea, but yours is from Mi. Kenny so it'll look better :lol: :lol: :lol:
I see that he's been parallel parking too close to the curb. I kinda like his method of making the front fenders to fit the tires. Just put a flat sheet of metal on your tire, then drive it for a while. Probably how he scraped the right tire; got too close to the curb to make the downward curve on the outside of the fender.
I've picked up some good ideas here... :lol:
If you look at his other auctions you will see he is into Honda Cycles, prolly was trying to make this look like a Honda. He darn near succeeded.
B :roll: B
they don't all look bad on a s-10 this is a 48 my son and i have been working on and i dont think its looking to bad. but your wright about that one. i'll try to post a link so you can take a look be nice thanks. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=7637410&uid=2242046&members=1
Well, you could send him some tips on how to put the wheels where they belong but he'd probably respond like he did to questioners in his auction. This one is wrong on so many levels!
anybody care to guess what that A body would bring if it wern't on a blazer chassis?
wonder what the reserve is?

I reckon it (the body) would be worth at least $3000 if it's as good as it looks. The rest, 'maybe' $1000; so my guess would be $4000.
It truely is; unbelievable :roll: !
absolute pile of crap work.
the body is worth more alone....... imho
You can tell how much of an idiot the guy is - he even let the questions be posted to the listing.

Can't disagree with that. It's clear the chassis needs to be thrown away and you can't just put it on the curb for the garbage man!

aw, c'mon, it CAN'T be that hard to dump a pile of scrap metal in desmoneys iowa.....
the rear end has got to be worth something (the 2.8 v6 prolly isn't)
It appears he's a cobbler by trade. :lol:
OK guys, don't hold back. Tell us what you really think!! :lol: :lol: :shock:

Well, if I go to the right neighborhood I could probably roll it off into someone's front yard and it would never be noticed! :twisted:
Dunno how common this is, but the scrap metal dealers around here aren't fond of taking cars if you don't have a title, unless they know you. They don't want to dispose of the evidence of a car that's been stripped.

Well around here if you take a car and cut it in half and take one half in on one week and the other half in the next they do not even consider it a car anymore. They do not even ask for a title in that condition. And frames are not even looked at ever.
Whizzer24, that 48 of yours looks the goods, dont keep it in the shed a very nice unit, but you have made the same mistake a lot of you guys over there a making, if I may give you a little advice, - MATE the steering wheel is on the wrong god * side again.
Quote from: "grazza"- MATE the steering wheel is on the wrong god * side again.
Yeah, you see that a lot over here! ;)
ya know thats funny i was thinking the same thing maybe split the difference and put it in the middle ? http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=4383012&uid=2242046&members=1
Funny thing there 100s of cars trucks laying around because the rumor of how "EASY" and s-10 swap is. It aint and 99% of the time looks like trash with the wheels in the wrong spot. :shock: Saw one the other day the guy cut the fender and moved the wheel opening.....what a mess and it only took him 5 years to do.
Too bad all experts in this S-10 craze would not show how wonderfull it really is LOL :P
This one should say"I read how to do this on www."
