This is what happens when you go to fix a little rust spot on the fender and things get a little out of hand... :-\

Believe a Chevy pick-up is the basis on which this was built but I'm afraid that's not the answer to the puzzle!

Somehow the 'nosejob' (or how do you call it?) reminds me of this conversion : http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=20119.msg207034#msg207034 I remember this one, 'cause I asked for more pictures ...

Something to do with Pegasus Motorcars?

Well, I dugg a little further and it seems to be a one off vehicle built by Fantasy Cars on a ’78 Chevrolet C1500 truck, presumably for a movie.

Oh, the retina burns!  Sick and wrong don't even begin to cover the subject. 

One would think that the builder(s) would at least have painted the doors the same pearl white as the ugly growth on the front. 

I think I like that "62 International Rat Rod" in the "Someone else buy this" thread a lot better.  At least a coat of primer would help it.  In the case of the alleged Pegasus, it would just be a waste of primer.

I really like Chevy pickups.  I've owned several of 'em...one of that approximate vintage with a 454 V8.  That one was interesting because it had 2 bullet holes in the hood.  The previous owner's kid had melted the motor down and the aforementioned PO decided (no doubt helped out by liberal consumption of adult beverages) to put it out of its misery.  He pulled out his 45 caliber pistol and shot it in the head, twice.  He still didn't kill it.  Unfortunately, I had to get rid of it (the community in which I live took a dim view of having a quantity of "parts vehicles" in my driveway) before I got a chance to pull the motor and see exactly what carnage he'd created in his attempt at euthanasia.  I was gonna put the entire front suspension on my 64 rat truck, but that didn't happen, either.  The salt ate the 64 to the point of no salvation.

Anyway, as much as I like Chevys and Chevy trucks, I'd be very tempted to try the automotive euthanasia with the flying horse turd.  Even the custom striping on the hood looks like rust!

(Violent shudder!)
