    I'm not a big custom Fan but I have always liked the Ala Kart, its a nice blend of a hot rod and custom.

    Calori coupe,any of several Mercs built back in the day,and now I'd add the Jack Stewart coupe to the list after watching it come back to life here on the HAMB.

    Can't list just 3 anyway..I'd have to come back and edit my post several times...
    If you ask for my top 100,I'll have that list for you by the end of the day.......

    I know how hard it is to decide a top 3. That is why I put it at 3 just to make people really think about what really is there favorite Kustoms. I could have listed a lot more just like the rest of you but I really like these 3 cars.
    PLEASE SHOW PICTURES OF YOU FAVORITE KUSTOMS

    The first two are locked in solid, but I could put any one of 10 different cars in the third spot. For now I chose the Aztec :) Nothing beats the Sahara in my book. It was Mr. King Shit at any show it went to.

  27. The Jade Idol of course, Cushenberry's 'Matador' '40 Ford (that candy red paint!), and while I know it was strictly a show car and undrivable, Roth's 'Beatnic Bandit'.

    Honorable mentions, the Ala Cart, Starbird's bubble-top '60 T-bird, and while it was a 'concept car' more than a 'custom', the '64 'Super Cyclone' Comet with the fastback top. The last one looks like that's where Plymouth got the idea for the Barracuda and I've been waiting for someone to try to build that car using the early 'cuda roof....

    Dean Jeffries built some interesting cars too; his '64 Falcon for the Ford 'Custom Caravan' was always a favorite...
