Features Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms....

AGREED, that is some beautiful work.

 

Have a photo of the back? I'd like to see how you did the taillights and tailgate.

 

Hello,

What makes a custom car? A few modifications to a stock car, makes it a custom build of sorts. It defines the changes made to a car so it melds with the owner’s idea of individual creativity. We all like to be individuals with our own minds doing what it does best. So, on a hot rod build, there is no… “one way to build a custom car and not one way to define what is a custom car…”

Any amount of changes to a stock bodied sedan or coupe becomes a custom added touch. We all grew up seeing lowered, wildly modified creations called “customs” at car shows and in magazines. So, we all began to think in terms of custom cars as being like the “Ala Kart” or the “Rod and Custom Dream Truck.”

But, in every neighborhood, a young kid has his creations rolling around in his/her head to change the car in the garage to a “custom” creation. The only hold back would be the infusion of money necessary for the changes.

I was surprised in a neighborhood supply store parking lot at the sight of this custom car just sitting in a parking stall a few cars away. It had all of the cool things one could think of to make it different, yet cool.

Louvers on the hood, flames that accentuate the color without overpowering the whole car, the stance and definitely the overall custom car look. It even had a sunken radio antenna with some creative accents, in a depth perception look.


Definitely, for us, it was a custom car sighting and a fun one at that. YRMV

 

His build can be found here. Beautiful work...

Thanks for posting the link, He is really building a kool ride. I missed seeing it on the HAMB.

 

Don’t know if these pics have been posted. But dang what a couple cool pictures. A couple cool cars. This first one has a few subtle things going on

 

Saw these at two local events this past weekend.

 

That was so kool when David Guymon pulled into the Hanging Dice show hauling the coupe.
