About the car

In the rear it has frenched 1952 Lincoln taillights which are housed in hand made chrome bezels. The upper quarter panels have been sectioned two inches and stretched to accommodate the taillights. The lower quarter panels are handmade with side scoops also with hand made flush fit wheel skirts.
All seams have been lead filled and smoothed. The trunk has been stretched at the top and the corners have been restyled. All emblems, door handles and locks are shaved and leaded smooth and now operate by remote solenoids. Rocker panels are also seamless to the fenders. All door corners have been rounded to match the rounded hood corners. The hood has been peaked and re-styled at the front leading edge with Kustom style lines that stretch into the grill shell opening. The headlights are frenched 1950 Fords with frenched and re-tailored '55 Chevy parking lamps.
The grille started as a 1954 Pontiac with added handmade floating chrome ovals to fill the center piece. Outer grille shell opening has custom hand built chrome trim.
