Harley Earl put 13" wheels on the 1938 Buick Y-Job to get it sitting lower. Someone has to be a trendsetter; its not much of a "custom" if...
Great story. I saw a piece about Brizio and a '32 he was/is building for Eric Clapton. Clapton loves his Ferrari's, so he asked Brizio to put a...
The blue Duesenberg is a Graber-bodied car. I think its owned by Sam Mann of NJ, but that isn't him behind the wheel. Hetfield's car is just...
Cadillac bumpers look good on everything.....including a '47 Chevrolet.

Here's photos of my humble car next to the Aztec, at Chopold's shop. He helped transport the car back to Barry Mazza's home. Forget for a...
There are a couple of other things. First, you said the gauge is not reading anything. Do you mean the needle is at its extreme beyond the F or...
That looks like you have another fun project on your hands. Crailville Restorations in the UK also did a replica torpedo body for a customer. I...
The cars look cool! Were the monk's set up in a beer tent? A little cinq-cent on tap, perhaps?
Great work by everyone this Friday! Webb Automotive's SO-CAL STREAMLINER recreation inspired this 3D model. Hope you like it.
Cool stuff (as always)! My humble contribution: A simple 3D rendering (based on a picture Ryan posted) which allowed me to practice UV...
