  1. Clydelicious, that car is amazing! The color combination and the finishing details just kill me.

  3. You're welcome clydelicious! In an area of a lot of very cool Rods & Customs at the PRS, your car stood out. My wife saw that car first and nudged me, and said "take a look at THAT!" If my wife is impressed, then I know it's a killer car. Have fun putting some seat time behind the wheel.

    That car is outstanding clydelicious. When I was looking through the PRS pic threads your car stopped me in my tracks. Couldn't stop looking at it. What a bitchen cruiser you have there. I may be a bit biased to that color combo too.

    Too bad Larry Watson ain't around to see that. I'll bet he'd have wanted a cruise in it!
    Beautiful car, with all right the custom touches. Simply outstanding!

    The Packard side spear also looks great.
    Interesting hooded headlights, almost look as if they have been lowered.

    Sorry about the hood being up, but I couldn't find the guy to ask him to shut it!

    I have a couple of Merc shells to redo my '53 but I was wondering what they'd look like, this car is a great example of how well it seems to work. Thanks for posting it.

    I can't remember if that's a Monarch or a Meteor, but the Merc grille in a Ford was a stock Canadian variant.

    The only image I have is "My Blue Heaven"...but it's not a mild custom due to being sectioned. I originally saw it in either the Seattle or Portland Roadster Show B.I.T.D. Imagine my surprise to see it again in the flesh at Paso Robles in the late 90's or early 2000...
