At first I was going to say lots of drugs, but I now remember (coffee is beginning to work) the photos your are talking about. Far as work, anything is possible with a welder and patience.

Here is a photochop of something like that. Is this what you are talking about?

I think it would take more work that would be worth it.

I think it would be worth it... but I can hardly fathom the amount of work that would go into that.

That P/C is bad ass

I wonder if using a 67 68 truck front clip would be easier?

for sure it would be way easier to use a 67-68 front clip.
