    Rolls Royce and Bentley had their own versions in the early 60's.

    I LOVE IT!

    so tell us more about that grille surround?

    Looks like a 58/59 t-bird mixed with a 52 merc??

    very very nice bro!

    and the recessing of the headlight bezels looks very organic!

    no stick on afterthought going on:D
     
  8. How about some quads set into a scoop in the fender? That seems to be an uncommon way to do it.

    According to a magazine I have from 1984, this car was built in 1958 and ressurected sometime in the early 80's by a dude named Barry Atkins.. Some seem to think the car was originaly built by George Liddle from Chicago . The car was painted Heavy Flake Teal and may have been Named " Barracuda"???? the jury is still out on this one...

    Mine came right from the factory, but they're still canted quads. Like if horn rimmed gl***es were a car. Love the look.

    I believe the story behind this car was that this car was a graduation present or something to a kid from his father, his father bought it and sent and out to get customized and when he unveiled it the kid didnt like it. I may be wrong...I think CHOPMERC on here knows the story better.
