    I'm thinking wrap.
    Personally, I prefer it remain a novelty, rather than a trend. (I still miss lacquer!)

    Lol I was thinking the same thing. Why? Maybe another kustom took it before they got a hold of it.

    I always thought the flames that Rod Powell applied to Mike Young's Chevy to be some of his best work. Curiously, they are no longer on the car.
    Does anyone know why?

  29. I found this from 2013:
    Mike-Young-1960-Chevy-Exotica.jpg
    Mike Young’s ’60 Chevy “Exotica,” Austin, Texas

    Texas customizer Gary Howard finished freshening up Mike Young’s ’60 Chevy “Exotica” just days before loading it up to head to the Revival. The chopped, shaved, and lowered Chevy is nothing short of a modern classic custom car built in the spirit of the early-’60s show car era. The now-freshened Abalone Metalflake paint is Exotica’s crowning glory.

    https://www.roddersjournal.com/portfolio-item/trj-revival-rc-fab-5-awards/

    No mention of why it was "freshened up" though... or why the flames were left off.
