That thing is really cool. As for taste and talent, building a Kustom was a sort of rebellion in it's own right. Back in the early days, those guys having their cars customized wanted something different than everyone else. Not just another Mercury or Ford. Back then there was no stnandard, and most customers have forgotten that. So now every Kustom is supposed tho be a chopped Merc on '57 Cad hubcaps with a DeSoto grille and flames! Yes, there usually was a theme involved and YES, some were thrown together with spare parts and turned out amazing. Find some pictures of pioneering Kustoms, There are as always, The good, the bad, and the ugly. This is my cup of tea, and I'm only 23!!!
