    @34Larry Sorry I've been away for a few days. Thanks for the kind words. Just trying to keep the Kustom hobby alive and the HAMB is a kool resource. I hear guys talking about how Kustoms are dead, I believe its alive and more popular today than it has in the past. A lot of kool kustom projects are being built and you see them posted on here everyday. Seeing what everyone is building or driving is kool momentum to keep our hobby going. Thanks again......

    I thought it might look OK if the pictures were staged a little better. I have little hope for the rear end treatment though, must be a diesel.

    I always thought the headlights were molded on that '58 and accents painted around them to match the scallops. In that low-angle front shot it appears they are stock bezels, just painted.

    A mod that really looks good and I bet fooled a bunch of people. It did me anyway.....

    I thought the same thing about the bezels. Kool example that kustom work doesn't have to be hard.

    Is this the one that Carl Green was trying to finish?

    Yes it is. It mentions Carl and his involvement in the article.

    Really is a nice write-up.

    I know it's a small thing, but when somebody writes an article about Bill, I wish they would spell his name correctly.
    It's Cushenbery, one R.

    I figured that's where it came from. I recognize the rest of the photos.

    @rudestude That is an earlier photo of the car I posted in post #6671 on page 223. I am definitely saving that one.
    Where/when is that from?
