    Really over the top, my man! Not to be at the tail end of the "Congratulations" but they are definitely in order. Nice, nice work and a totally different approach.

    The 5T7 show rod is just spectacular. I don't know what kinda drugs you're on to come up with the idea, but they are rare gold - for sure!
    Thanks so much for posting the progress of your build - from day 1 til driving it, it's been a great journey.
    Also, congrats on taking the time to absorb all the early suggestions - I think v-cutting it down to taper is much the better solution or it might have looked a bit odd (-er)
    :)
    I hope you enjoy it for ages.
    Cheers.

    Best looking custom 57 Chev to come along in years.
    Have a request, excuse me for barging in no your thunder here Kustomizer.

    So my 34 in the avatar was the "Northern Star" and showed and raced back in the late 50' to mid 60's. There was a Hot Wheels die cast of it with its full fenders and in lime green. I'd like to find one. Any one on here have one or know where one is.
    I promise not to make it into a hi-boy, LOL. Search "34 Larry" for my update of the real car and Google "Jerry Bergs 34 Ford for its history that show more pictures of it as the Northern Star. I'll pay good money.

  11. hey kustomizer i know im a little late to the party but do you think you have the body dimensions?
    Im trying to build something similar with one of my many 61 oldsmobiles but the everything i think of either has a small body with short wheelbase or too much room with a stupid long wheelbase. any input would help either way, thanks! and i really love the " 5-T-7" !!!!

  14. Dennis is cool! A TV feature?! You're a star! On day I want a pic of your car next to mine.
     
  15. I watch Dennis's show, so I'll be keen to see this episode.
    I remember thinking you needed to ditch those front eighties wheels, for some 12 spokes.
    Glad to see your still rockin this cool machine.
