I would also like to say that I purely enjoy customs and I did'nt choose the car, it chose me. This car was destined to be pro-streeted or crushed by the PO because he could not sell it. I am keeping this a period 50's Kustom piece with original drivetrain, suspension, interior and so on. It is nothing more then what the likes of Winfield or Barris or the other great icons would have done at the time. My build is done with my vision, heart and soul. What others of today seem to do (no names mentioned here) is create a 2008 vehicle wearing an old overcoat. No offense, but just about anyone can yank a beautiful period drivetrain for the sake of saying their car is a "hotrod". What people like PACKPRINCE do is merely no more than doing it for the sake of making a living. No heart, no soul - only bragging rights. My car is built to enjoy and that I do. I smile as much driving it as those whom smile at it. I will park next to a 100 point resto anyday and still feel nothing but pride. It's much better than the shame of lifting the hood on my trailer queen and saying "see my nice shiny small block chevy and late model suspension"

Just my 2 cents!
