Customs Has anyone made a 100% custom car?

Im just curious. Once you reach a level of being able to fabricate with confidence, has anyone just built a car completely custom and tailored to what they want? I know I would.

Sure you dont need to build the drivetrain or gauges yourself, maybe not the frame, but everything else.

Id love to build something in the vein of a cl***ic, with all the curves and contours, but otherwise be a one off.

 

Pretty close

 

id say when im done i've built 70 percent of this body.

also building a rear left quarter chunk of a 34' still needs lots of tuning and welding





I'll be building myself a roadster from scratch next.

 

"I'll be building myself a roadster from scratch next ". I like the sound of that!

 

Have you seen the " beetleduece" thread ?

 

Those are really cool, but I mean like, you dream it up and start with sheet metal - looks unlike anything

 

I havent

 

My Dad Everett Built 3 of these Miniature 10 wheeler COE's ,He is gone now I still have the last one, The first one built in 1954 was featured in Jan. 55 HOTROD Magazine

 

And for the few of us who don't have the mag tell us more! Tell all at best [emoji41][emoji2][emoji106]

i've always wanted to do that. i would likely go with a mid-engine setup also

 

My replica champ car - body, ch***is and many driveline parts all hand fabbed:

 

"The Meteor" was built in the 30's for Dry Lakes, driven on the street in the 40's

 

There's this one I did.

Yes. raced it for 3 years and then backed it into a wall @120 when i wheel hopped it into turn 3. So, not really a custom, but built it all from sticks of tubing and sheets of aluminum and steel.

 

insane! love it

 

Wow! Absolutely love the track nose. Nice work.

 

I'm surprised Jim Sibley hasn't chimed in yet?

 

Google Marcel DeLay....has done many fine cars

 

Steve Moal the gatto

 

Well, there was Ed Roth.

 

And Henry Ford.

I'm working on it. Got to finish my 41 willys first.

 

My C Cab body is 100% homebuild. Gl***fibre over ply with some steel framing. the new Mack style nose is steel, however.

 

Ok, now I'm just being a smart aleck.

 

Never got the Ideer behind a C cab. But also don't get why you don't post pic, you might have one c cab that can win me over [emoji2]

 

Nothing better for a muffler shop

 

I'm pretty sure Hetfeilds Black Pearl is almost or is 100% custom made, No '48 Jag in that.
