He's got the look, confident and cool, a hot rodder of talent and grit

Man Rides Cross of Car and Motorcycle
a cross between a Model T and motorcycle scrap parts, it can carry three persons. The whole thing cost only $18 and is the work of Gayle Lockhart.

The coolest unique custom ideas

I love the piston tail-light, that is a first. Damn, I would love to see a set of these on a rat rod

Meet the gang at Roth's


Click on them for the extra big size

Among the "Don't Miss" attractions at the Grand National Roadster show, Atomic Punk







For more on the Atomic Punk, a cool video of it's creation http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/10/wow-how-atomic-punk-was-built-trunk-of.html

The Barris taxi for the Bob Denver tv show "Good Guys"


But the cool kustom stuff was a grappling hook to slow or stop it, no tires and rims were the same, the taxi meter was a pair of coffee pots linked together top to top to form an hourglass that had metalflakes (that usually are put in hot rod paint)

I wouldn't drive, build, design, or own them, but I give them credit for being stunningly impressive

Some new trend? Maybe, they are striking and memorable for those headlights

Wow, how the Atomic Punk was built.. Find the trunk of a Savoy, make a bubble, section a bumper..!

Greaser alley at the Grand National Roadster show

It's got a Hudson emblem on the front, but I don't know.. it's a long way from where it started



Cool images from Los Boulevardos ( too lowrider for customs, too custom for lowriders )

I found another photo of the above custom... it's a radical look for something new, I haven't seen many far out customs since the late 60's early 70's craze


These are the most beautiful scallops I can recall seeing, and I've never seen any running down the trunk!
