    Look, I'm not interested in an argument here, but the terms mild kustom, semi kustom, full kustom, etc. have always delt with body modifications, which are the true measure of any custom car. Not engine, interior or suspension modifications, although most or all custom cars generally have modifications in those areas as well...just saying

    Those that get it, get it, those that don't, don't.

    My own car isn't good enough for this post, hence it's not here, and it's a full, radical custom that I've owned for 21 years.

    HAHAHAHAAHHA!!! I LOVE IT! If everyone had there own definition for everything. Then why is there something called a dictionary? What CHOPMERC said is very true.

    Come on your in NC. maybe in the mini truck scene slamming a car makes it a custom min truck, but here its just a suspention mod. Nothing more. I was in a car club and one of the members said he was building a mild custom. I said " COOL! You gona take some trim off and shave this and french that?" he said " No. Im just lowering it and putting a 250 in it." Well i had to tell him the truth that he just had a stock car with a different motor.

    Some people need to go back and learn what CUSTOM or KUSTOM means. Its not that hard to do reasearch. Most people reasearch is mags like Ol' Skool Rods. That mag any like it brought a lot os shit into the custom car world.

    damnnn i didnt mean to start any arguments on here sorry to clog up a pretty good thread or insult anybody..but just felt this thread was for kustom cars, i wouldn't post my own car on this thread as i feel it doesn't measure up to some of the master pieces on here....

    I see the begging of a good looking custom.
