A tasteful chop to the original car would have been the way to go! My vote is for a Custom, not a Rod (Hot or Street).
At the risk of being slapped, I kinda like the taillight idea. You gotta admit, they blend in well. Personally, I'm so sick of names and shit, it all comes down to: Do I like it or not? Yes, I like it. I don't know if it's a Rod, or Custom, and I don't really care. Its cool, and someone with good skills built it.
IT'S A STREETROD nothing more than a street rod its not a ratrod its not a traditional hotrod. its not a fucking custom if anything its a custom streetrod
It's kinda like a Fat chick or uero scooter....Nobody wants to be seen on it, but everyone wants to ride it LOL
