Would be a cool Kustom if he could have toned down the front and rear end treatments a little. The tweed looks really out of place in there with the style of everything else... needs that super sparkly vynil(sp)!

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

I think thats supposed to be some kind of Barris tribute.

Make it stop! The front wasn't pretty, but I about choked on my cookie when I saw the back end. I guess the builder thought the design needed to be carried out on both ends. The rest of the EXTERIOR of this custom is pretty cool. The radiator cover says "After Shock". It should just say "SHOCK"!

They missed on the interior, but the exterior is pure '60s custom.

I think it looks pretty cool. Looks more like they were trying for a '60s custom look while building it in '79. I like it

I can remember looking through my uncle's old Hot Rod magazines when I was a kid. They were all from the late '50s and very early '60s. This type of custom was all the rage, and this car would have been considered mild.
I think it is safe to say our taste has evolved a bit.

I'd ditch the interior for some sparkly tuck & roll, and change up some other things. But I'd drive it.
