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

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

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

D'Agostino Customs tackled one of the ugliest cars, a 1975 Stutz Bearcat... Elvis loved them, but do you?

John and his company do great work... and this will stand out anywhere is goes, but would you want it?

Hot rods, rat rods, and customs on the grass at the GNRS

The hub caps really set this hot rod off

The barber chair was there for sale, but if it had been part of the truck's custom build I think that would be awesome

1924 Dodge that was customized in 1947 by Bob Ferguson in Coronado, San Diego
