Technical Radical custom roadsters

I’m considering building a radical custom roadster as the ones I’m these pictures and would like to see some more if there are any. i

 

Sometimes it can kinda work, other times...

 

hope that you have the skills and $$ to pull it off - search here for threads by members that have built some wild one of a kind rides

 

I think one of the positive key design features is narrowing at the cowl, otherwise it looks too bulky in that area. The 59 Olds in the second pic along with Bipolar and the burgundy one (third from the last) are examples that have that feature and they look right to me. I've always had an interest in these. The wilder the better!

 

I'd like to see a front shot of the burgundy one.

 

I have thought for a long time that these could be cool. Or….. they could turn out like a load of crap. It’s all in the execution. There’s already one or two in this thread I would not have. Plan it really well. Learn some computer rendering skills or hire that done. This is either a win or fail deal. Lack of planning on this can be disastrous.

 

Some of these look killer !!!

Others look like they should be killed

Real easy to make a killer custom or a bloated rodent rod pile of I dunno what

 

Plowboy nailed it.

 

What is the proper term for these custom roadsters?

 

I'm in the "other times" camp. It is similar to dogs screwing, it is a fact of life and I like puppies but I don't wat to look at it.

 

Barn hunter , I found these for you.

 

I could tell from the first pic that they didn't just throw a deuce grille on it.

 

This is freakin"COOL!!!

 

I suspect that most people would say that they are a type of “show rod.”

 

I dig em.
Just call em cool.

 

I would like to see some interiors of these cars if anyone has pics.

Many try, few succeed

 

I have not seen Ian on TV for a while?

I enjoyed watching him work and making something out of nothing most of the time.
I found it interesting that he used Harbor Freight Tools for so many projects.

Great show, but I cannot find anymore.

Ian (Full Custom Garage) is behind the PayWall at Motor Trend (same place Roadkill went). Hopefully he gets renewed for another season.

Whatever floats your boat. Even on cars that are not my taste, I can still admire the craftsmanship.
