    I was very very sorry to hear of the passing of virginia kustom kar builder ....cecil profitt.
    He was a very kind and decent man who did his best to re boot the kustom movement all his life.

    Rip cecil.

  2. Oh man, that's sad to hear. I always liked Cecil's cars because he wasn't copying what everybody else was building.

    RIP, Cecil.
     
  3. RIP to another that " kept the flame lit" for the Kustom scene

    Being from the mid-west, I always knew when I saw a car built by him. I loved all three shoebox`s he built, the silver 51 Merc he brought to Iowa in 82 and the VW bug that he made to look like a 40`s custom with a carson top. Then there are the cars that I am forgetting. The yellow shoebox was in the swimsuit issue of Hot Rod. Rest in Peace.

    Sad, he was a fixture on the East Coast during the custom revival in the 80's. Built some cool cars.
    RIP, Cecil!
     
  8. I always liked the cars he built. Me and a friend were talking about a few of his cars just a few days ago. A real bummer.

    My condolences to all his family and friends. Vaya con Dios Cecil..........E
