  4. Didn't Luke Skywalkers drive one of those in Star Wars? That's a wild Kustom for sure! I wouldn't wanna change a flat
     

  5. I'm waiting for the finished product. He's done some pretty weird shit in the past. Bunch of Ratrods and that Shoebox with the bondo roof. I will say...it looks interesting so far.

    Pretty cool.
    In that first pic it looks like a boat!
    I've always like Roussel's ingenuity, and the fact that he doesn't build the same damn car over and over. Some of his builds aren't to my taste, but I still appreciate the amount of hard work he puts into them.

    Wow, I'm digging it so far. Sorta like a futuristic vehicle from a '50's sci fi movie.

    I actually like this one so far. I'm not insinuating anything here, but I feel like I remember a late 90's or early 2000's rod and custom dream car sketch of a tbird similarly styled to this car. I thinks it's a neat concept really, and will be great if the finish work is good.

    That's the Beatnik Bubbletop.

    It sold at BJ a few years ago for almost $400K.

    I've never cared for anything he's built... but I'm curious to see where this one goes.
     
  28. My opinion is reserved untill i see the finished product. Hope he stays away from flat black.

    Even if he paints it a shiny color it could still end up ugly. Lets not forget the zephyr thread...
