When it comes to custom cars, there are often hardly any limits to the tuning manufacturers. Everything that is technically feasible is usually implemented in order to achieve the greatest possible show effect. This often results in the shrillest creations that would probably never get the blessing of the TÜV in Germany, but make the hearts of US car fans all over the world beat faster. Exactly such a model, namely a completely crazy one Ford F-100 from 1956 who as Restomod new aufgebaut and strong modified we will now introduce you to a little more detail.

Crazy pickup with a convertible feeling!

You probably know the extraordinary Chevrolet SSR from the millennium years. The pickup roadster with a foldable hardtop and only two seats became a cult car, which is still popular with US car fans all over the world, although it never sold in large numbers. The tuner of this Ford must have thought of this vehicle when he introduced the classic truck electrically operated fabric roof on the way, which provides a fresh air feeling in the former workhorse.

The overview to the rear is pretty poor, however, because only a tiny peephole was made in the fabric top. Besides, the platform Taken over from a Studebaker pickup and not from a Ford truck. That also explains the extraordinary, vertical ones tail lights as well as the two upper arm thicknesses exhaust pipeswhich protrude from the loading area. Furthermore, the entire vehicle was cleared and the Emblems, the Door handles and even the Mirrors were removed. Furthermore, the body was even removed from the ladder frame during the Restomod process separatedto the vehicle in the cockpit area chop, and to be able to attach the Studebaker loading area.

Other highlights include Suicide doorswhich, like a classic Rolls-Royce, open to the rear to ensure that entry and exit are as elegant as possible. There they go 15 inch chrome rims by Colorado Custom, but they also contribute to the fact that the vehicle becomes a unique piece of jewelry that you will not see a second time in the world. In order to adjust the security to today's standards, also stopped front Disc brakes into the truck, because the vehicle should ultimately be safe on the road.

Custom interior with light brown leather!

The driver's cab is with Individual sittingcovered with light brown leather. They were in the same color as the chairs Door panels held. That’s behind the seats roof, on which the inscription "Wild Fire" is attached on the inside. A Custom steering wheel with a wooden wreath and an unusual spoke design is also on board. The cockpit and the center tunnel are designed completely in red and match the color of the Exterior painting on. So you indulge in a unique custom interior.

HEMI-V8 with 331 cu. in. drives the pickup

It is as curious as the modifications to the body Power Type this vehicle. Because it is one Chrysler HEMI V8 with 331 cu. in., whose power and torque are unfortunately unknown to us.
