Looks cooler with the tank between the headlights too, and without the saw blades that used to top the airbags
The above switch is a real electric chair switch, from a Texas death chamber
I love the gauge pods, they are exhaust pipe! 
Click on the above to see the flat black applied to emphasize the tattoo designs that are WW2 era simple birds, ships, etc

this belongs to Frank at http://mechanicallyderanged5.blogspot.com/ and is just a rolling chassis with dry rot setting into the tires, having been passed along from the previous owner as a project and it's ready to go to the next owner, still without an engine. I think Frank added he vents though.
I've wondered why more fuel tanks weren't designed with tank level indicators, in the above case, a sightglass. Probably a held over prejudice from my submarine days
It's been on the show circuit since 2008.
this car isn't something I'm keen on, but the attempt to make what you want from a new car to look like an old car is a good thing
Steve does more than just auto transfromations, he also hand crafts wood furniture and welds sculptures http://www.fabulousfurnitureon28.com/index.html
These lights are cooler than the car, I don't care for the saw blade, but that some old headlights are used for spotlighting is very cool

I love the seats, the center console, and the shifter knob.
You don't see many try at lace paint... this is one of the few new lace paints, and nailed it. perfect look!
The above "Wild Cad" from Mario Colalillo and Canden County Customs won Top Radical Kustom and the Barris Kustom D'Elegance award.
Love this color combo, reminds me of blueberries and cream
Terrific looking design, but I wouldn't have went with this color
