Anyone ever see this front end before?

Yes, it's in DGVWPB.

I'll have to dig through the book again, but it was a 3rd party mod, not factory.

Interesting, but those headlights look too low for legal height minimum.

Thanks Andy. I saw it on Facebook and had to ask. Not my cup of tea but interesting to say the least.
