    Thanks!
    I know the guy who built it around 10 yrs ago,he sold it and the next owner painted it,did other work too and it looks like that nowadays.Too bad i dont have any pics of the first version,but i'll ask if friend of mine has them.After the 54 was gone,his next project was '62 Chrysler.That '62 was built as a mild kustom from something you guys call parts car over there.That happened over 20 yrs ago and it was one of the first kustoms i saw on the road when i was a kid.I think its not the worlds coolest or the most important kustom car,but it made a huge impression for a kid who didnt know a***** about anything.
    Well,here is a pic how it looked like after Niko(the 54 guy)got it done.

    Nope, Purple one is a hardtop with 8 tailites and the Silver one is a sedan with 10.
