    It was a custom at one time, then somebody turned it into a hot rod.

    It's whatever you want it to be. I understand wanting to drive it, so without the hood, so be it for now.

    Instead of those g78 wide whites, how about some thin whites with those chrome reverse? Give it more of a hot mild custom vibe when the Louvered hood goes back on. I think the mid sixties blurred the custom/hot rod lines a bit better.

    Cool car no matter what you call it!

    If it has two peddles it's a mild custom, three it's a hot rod. ;)

    I've been an alliance member since 2008. It MORE than pays for itself. It's worth it. If you're not an alliance member and you're buying parts, you're missing out.
     
  10. Yep ^^^

    We used to call cars like that a street brawler. More suited for the stop light drags then the low and slow crowd.

    so says the man!

    I agree-but I think it really needs a hood. clean engine bay, but not "wow" enough to merit going topless.

    Slap a hood on it.... make it a taildragger. Definite kustom (with a "k")
