Go to any street rod or custom car show and you will see cars drastically changed from how they came out. Many, you are hard put to even tell what kinda car they started out as. I long ago came to the realization not one of those guys built those cars for me to like. They built them as a expression of what they liked. Some I like , some not so much, but most people don't have the talent to customize something and make it all come together. All of the trucks pictured took a lot of time and talent.

 

The black one is a Toyota.

 

For good or bad, the custom car is art. Just like there's a lot of famous painter's works you couldn't pay me to hang in my home, there's a lot of things I wouldn't want in my garage, either. But it's far from me to say what should or shouldn't exist. That's the beauty of living in the USofA. Freedom of expression, even if it doesn't appeal to the masses.

 

 

 

These people that are putting these trucks together must all work on the government health care package as well! I would rather drive a Amc pacer!

 

I personally don't like most customized trucks because is seems like most are conglomerations of rusty, crappy parts and are caller "rat rods" the trucks posted so far seem to have a lot of good quality work put into them. I don't personally like them, I wouldn't want to own one but at least it looks like the builders did more, a lot more, that cobble a bunch of rusty crap together. They did a lot of body work and applied paint to them. I have to give the builders credit for their work.

 

not a truck but was seen around here often

 

I agree. I think these are pretty ugly trucks, but there is a lot of quality work put into them. These are more about art and being different. I prefer something with beautiful lines.

 

Mean like this?

 

Now THAT'S art!

 

Yes, quite a looker isn't she, attractive, nicely dressed up for the period, a real sweetheart.

OH and the young lady is quite nice too.

 

Reminds me of a Johnny Cash tune.

 

White shoes , long legs . What truck .... ? Nice top .

 

Here is a custom I seen today. Many alterations all done beautifully , just not my style.
