Another look at the El Guapo, the paint has been upgraded in a unique way

Written By nyit on Saturday, February 26, 2011 | 4:47 PM

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


for the contrast to what it looked like with plain black paint, but pinstriped:

Gary and Pam Beineke made the GTX they wish Mopar had produced, but these hardcore fans did it themselves with the best designs from other mopars

The 1969 recalled rims, 1971 Barracuda gills, AAR Cuda hoodscoop and chin spoilers, 1971 Go Wing
I posted a photo of this in July 2009, but didn't have a link to a gallery like you can use here: http://www.bangshift.com/gallery/1972-GTX-Jet-X-by-Gary-and-Pam-Beineke-gallery.html

Isetta with a custom side vent from a VW bus. Great idea

Written By nyit on Friday, February 18, 2011 | 7:26 PM

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

Steve Heller is customizing new cars, an unusual type of hobby, not many pull it off well. Steve is putting a lot of effort into it, here's Cro Magnum

Written By nyit on Monday, February 7, 2011 | 6:31 PM

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

Something else Steve made looks familiar to me, the 48 Plymouth he made into the Bubble Car http://www.fabulousfurnitureon28.com/auto/bubblecar.html

Austin Speed Shop's "El Gringo Loco" ... fantastic interior, superb lace paint, terrific total design

Written By nyit on Sunday, February 6, 2011 | 6:35 PM

I even dig the flame outlines.. .the traced out lines look really good in context to the gold lines from the headlights and along the hood borders
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!

Great customs at GNRS, I don't know what hall bldg, but the total quality caught my eye of these beautiful cars

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
