Customs Customs gone wrong

I guess they didn’t tech cars back in the day. Darn bodies ain’t even bolted down.
They keep trying to slip off

How do ya drive broken rides like these

 

Do not want to leave out our friends from Oz...

 

@anthony myrick
Would ya? Drive it I mean? I know I sure wouldn't turn a black light on in there!

 

Crap. I almost want to build one now
I’ve got a 57 step van.
If the scrap yard gets any old caddy’s or something with fins I’m in trouble

 

When I was 18, I worked part time at a custom van shop. Now this is truly a custom van. Would love to see the interior. I can imagine this thing before the clear faded. It may not be everyone's style, but she was a looker. Looks like a mid 70s build though.

 

That thing's been sectioned to within an inch of its life.

 

I see nothing wrong with that.

 

I think it works with the canted quads , if the fenders were worked differently between the grill and fenders , opened up and the lights and fenders kinda “ hanging out in space “ it would look better .

betcha she was fancy when the paint was shiny !!

 

If you did it would look like a CSI crime seen.

 

What points are you wanting to convey by posting pictures of hot rods and racecars?

 

The ~definition you posted doesn't align with the notions of what makes a traditional custom car per the HAMB.

 

I’m not quoting the HAMB
A restored car is a custom built to OE specs.
It’s not original. Original is extremely rare.
A hot rod is a custom build.
A custom isn’t necessarily a hot rod

that’s just my worthless take

 

I’d drive that

 

besides the goofy grill I kind of almost sort of maybe like this one.

 

Customs gone wrong.
Those race car guys built some crazy customs

 

I don't believe thats real...

Thats one of the worst AI pics I have seen.

 

This one needs to see an orthodontist.

 

Yeah, definitely needs the highly desirable canted headlights and faux Ferrari grille treatment...
