Talking Kustomizing........

Who has done some kustom work in the auto world? Being sheetmetal or fiberglass work etc......... or do you even dare to tread in the realm of the kustom world and just go out and buy from a magazine? From simple to complex show off your pics of the work also if you can guys n gals.

I have customized every (many) vehicles I have owned. I am currently working on a Bradley GT (fiberglass body on VW pan). So far I have filled in the big round tail lights and replaced them with four '39 Ford teardrops and have added a vent scoop at the rear fenders. If I can figure out how, I will add some pics.

Just curious ... you have a red truck with black accents and a grey interior. Why the blue color?

I had to cut some plastic to recess my driving lights (see gallery).

Oh... yeah i'm not sure if I have any old pics in my gallery, but my truck used to be red, white, and blue.

I just haven't gotten around to tearing apart the interior since I painted the truck black.

EDIT: I just checked.... and THE ONLY picture I have in my gallery is of my truck when it was red, white and blue.
really need to put some more pics in there.
