    What issue of Car Craft is Lenny Legere's shoebox in?
    That is probably my favorite kustom.

    Here ya go Sancho...... I agree this is a very cool car in a kinda nasty mean way.....a mix of a little over the top custom and not so normal , for a custom or strip/street , engine choice...back in the days this would have been the kind of car that you roll in to some out of the way town pull into the local hang out park and wait till the first farm boy walks up and says what the hell is that...looks like a freak in sissy car ...you ask what's he driving and he points to a old Plymouth sedan(moms car)sitting across the lot then bet's are made and off to the dike road you go.... continued in my next dream....[​IMG]

    I always thought the GM fastbacks made a good custom car starting point...[​IMG]

    The thing I like most about the blue Merc above is it runs a useable side mirror on it that isn't one of those body colored horror shows that seem to go on so many smoothed off custom Mercs, and pulls it off still looking very nice and clean.

  27. I remember talking about that one with Mickey a while back. I think I had found some old photos of it with candy green paint but can't seem to find them now.
