There's a story there -- probably 5 or 6 years' worth on my favorite custom ever. Every year (or quicker) it just got better -- not the fate of most customs of its era.

I guess it was one night in 1962 while I was thinking I was King Shit cruising "E" Street in San Bernardino. Hell Yes! Red '29 roadster with six 97s, Halibrands, Cyclone quickie. Yeah!!! Until he came cruisin' up the street in the lavender version of this.

I met Ron Aguirre (sp?) in San Diego some 40 years later. What a hell of a nice guy!

 

Ron Aguire's Corvette, The X-Sonic.

 

Didn't this guy have a tv show called "The Rebel" ? Nick Adams?

 

Yep

 

Hot Rod magazine cover car? I think one of the very first issues.

 

Nick Adams. "The Rebel."
