the 70's were quite a roll, the cars that were customized were far out, the ones that were produced were lousy. Here's a cheer to the customizers, the "Street Freaks" , and the street racers.






Notice the above has doubled the tail lights on both sides, and now it looks a lot like Cougar brake lights... the closest side is clearer to see that they didn't use Cougar tail lights though





stretch the tail, or replace the trunk with an El Camino bed? They kept the Firebird rear spoiler though


Square headlights and a superbird wing, unusual.


above, yuck, white walls in front

In the above, aren't those Cragars in the back and Keystones on the front? As Mike says, Party Foul!

Daytonas above, Superbirds below




How about that hood scoop arrangement? A pair of Super Bee / Demon scoops, and arranged in a unique way I've never seen before. Plus, the fender scoops for tire clearance that are normally found on Superbirds aren't on this car

Anyone want to chime in on a case of theft?


Do the photos look familiar? It's because they are mine. I took them at the Bo Huff Rockabilly car show http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/01/1951-mercury-m1-truck-at-bo-huff.html , but you see that the banner says Kustom Car Parts?

That's because although they say:

we, Ron & Jill and Family, do everything we can to try to earn not only your business, but your respect as well.

 We talk about little things like how to answer the telephone and what to post on the Web Site or on Social Media like Facebook.

 We try to learn something from every single customer we come in contact with so that we can serve the next one better. We discuss our mistakes and try not to repeat them.

on their website  http://kustomcarparts.com/our-promises-to-you-the-customer-our-boss-and-our-friend/

but they didn't think about asking me to give them my permission to use my photos on their website.

If they have heard of the term Copyright, it's not apparent

Ain't that sweet? I just thought I'd see if anyone wants to give me their opinion on this

Biggest air of the San Diego Monster Jam 2013 was from the Hot Wheels truck




compared to the photos of the other trucks, this was the only one to get it's front wheels over the Lucas Oil sign lettering
