Customs Leave well enough alone??

I like how you are keeping the look specific to 60-61, that's one of the reasons I am now considering a third grille for my Merc.

 

Thats cool...not everyone can understand and appreciate kustom cars, especially early to mid 60's radically styled ones..

besides, I normally like the type of kustoms that everyone else hates, I love that super over the top no rhyme or reason stuff...LOL

That being said, my car definitely has rhyme, reason and direction...thanks for your input...

 

Holy crap!!! I just saw this thread......awesome work!

 

I liked the 3 tooth grill because the horizontal pieces of that grill are almost the identical shape as the bumpers. They match perfect.

Then again, having a wild busy grill with stuff sticking out, ala El Matador or that recently restored white f100 show truck would also look good.

 

nice work dude, thats a really tastefull radical kustom.

 

looks good the bob box is coming to life

 

If the box comes to life, its time to cut bait and get out of there!

 

'Saw it at the Whiskey last Sat nite, 'looks very cool, great work.
