Snakebit

Gene Simmons (Kiss), his wife Shannon Tweed, and Ford have collaborated to create a custom '56 F100 to be auctioned off for charity next year at a Barrett-Jackson sometime in 2014. It was unveiled at SEMA 2013 and has a 550hp 5.4.
It has some ties as far as looks to the Mustang.

It is a nice looking truck.

I think they could've done something different with the design of the front bumper.

It looks like it's moping.

I think I have a new signature now..

But yea I agree, doesn't really flow right with the rest of the truck.

Yep, grill is too much like a Shelby Mustang for my tastes. The two driving lights in the center need to be removed, for starters. That alone would make a big improvement.

Still, it is a fine looking truck.

I'm a big fan of putting classic sheet metal on top of a modern drive train, suspension and tires. That's often a win/win scenario, and blending a '56 truck with a GT500 is pretty creative.
