KUSTOM Of The YEAR: Bugs' Troy Ladd-Built '35 Ford WINS!

Wow!! It deserves the award-- Was this car at Beatnik Bash , I thought I saw it there or was I dreaming/buzzed??

 

I agree, much more impressive having read through the buildup pics. Very nice work.

 

Truly a rolling art work of metal sculpture. I read in the build thread that it was painted a Root Beer color, yet in this thread it looks purple or a deep maroon or Oxblood. Is it still Root Beer? If so, what makes the color appear changed? I love it.

 

It was there.

It's a deep burgundy.

 

Great car! But could someone put about 3" of air in the front airbags?

Congratulations all you guys, that car is AMAZING! Well deserved-

 

That's such a beautiful car!!!!! Congrates to Troy and Company. They really build nice cars...The interior is second to NONE!!!!

 

beautiful car!!

 

I was talking to bugs at ink n iron and he drives that ride alot its no trailer queen,Also their is a book bugs has out documenting the build,its a killer book.

 

Beautiful! Very well deserved.

 

I second that!

 

Kirk, Do you know the name and brand of the paint? Wonder why it was repainted.

 

Not yet, but I will after the feature is written.

 

AWESOME DESIGN, it has a WICKED look to it! Congrats to all involved.

 

That's an awesome car...and a well deserved award!!

 

Well deserved Troy an crew at Hollywood Hot Rods.Killer car!!

 

A few more pics. You can see how the color looks different in different light.

 

That thing is wicked cool, congrats to all involved.

 

What a gorgeous car. Love the interior.
Good for you guys.

 

I've been in love with this car since I first set eyes on it, Big Congrats!

 

God yes!! A couple inches up in the front and a 41 ford front bumper would help that car so much!!

 

I don't think it was repainted it just looks very different from one picture to the next.

Awsome car and outstanding work done by all involved.

 

Congrats, that's a well deserved award - I really enjoyed the build thread and was very impressed by the workmanship.

 

X2--this car is so frikin clean, especially that interior. I was standing next to it at Beatnik Bash when they started it and drove off, thing purred like a Kitty high as a kite on katnip! Beautiful car, Congrats Bugs and Troy

 

19Fordy -

I really dig the color too ... and was wondering the same thing.

According to the show sign that KIRK! posted, the paint color is "Cherry Amber Red" ... I'm thinkin' it is a custom mix as none of the Automotive Finish companies (PPG, Dupont, HOK, Sherwin-Williams, etc.) list a color by that name.

 

Well deserved!! Congrats to my Brother Troy!!!

 

beautiful

 

OK HEMI32, Your job (should you decide to accept) is to get all the info about that paint formula for all inquiring minds.

 

This is one stunning piece of work! Congrats to the builder and owner for going all the way. Beautiful car.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing those too!


Beautiful car! Very well deserved award..

 

There is nothing I don't like about it other than the fact that it's not mine.
