    Really cool car. Love your talent and your determination. The only thing I haven't been able to appreciate is the steering wheel. Hope to be able to see it on person sometime.

    Really neat. Not at all what I was expecting. I have a feeling this car is a huge conversation piece wherever it goes.

    I started out thinking "Huh?" But it came out pretty cool. What if you have a rear flat though? LOL

    It may not be all that practical but it is way cool and looks like they are going to have a hell of a lot of fun with it.
    This is a great example for the guys who say that they can't afford a custom or hot rod and a nice one at that. Plan it out, do it yourself and don't get caught up in the gotta have those trinkets that cost a lot of money what ever car you are building. I'd say outside of welding wire the three biggest cost items on the car are the tires, paint and upholstery material.

    I love how you kept all the design features of the 53 Ford finding no need to mix the makes and models so common with other customs. It would be great if you could come up with a common drivetrain, frame combo kind of like a dune buggy did so others could rescue other too far gone hulks and build them into awesome roadsters like this one.
     
  16. Rad build, awesome job.

    Gotta poach a little from Ralph Nader. Way Kool at any speed!
     
  18. I'm gonna be honest. The outcome is just not my thing.
    But... somebody has got to crate a double featured feature for these kind of stuff. Wholelotta crativity, knowledge and craftsmanship going on.
    Sincere congratulations on this car man.
