    It doesn't take much to set your ride apart from the others....This is what captured my imagination in the beginning....While I loved the offerings of the major Customizers in the 50's and '60's, I knew those cars would always be out of my reach. It doesn't take a lot to nose, deck, tape Flames or Scallops, or have somebody punch some louvers in your hood....Man, that was the stuff dreams are made of! Centurion9

    That's a great car. I actually liked it better when you were running Fiesta spinners on it, but it's a knockout either way.

    Man Slim, you take a good picture!

    So am I correct in saying that a mild custom is any custom that hasn't been chopped or sectioned?

    Is it mild with a 6" section? The rest of the car is pretty tame.
