JF Kustoms made another cool car, this time the magic was cast on a '67 Gt 500

I love before and after photos, and am sorry that I didn't get a good front photo... there were a lot of people and lousy

one of the trickest coolest things on this car were the hood pin cables. Yeah, I'm geeked about some odd stuff

 These are genius details... why hasn't anyone ever done leather hood pin cable covers before?

Here is a photo fo the 55 Chrysler station wagon that JF Kustoms did 4 years ago... it shocked everyone... it's that good. It was in the Car Crazy corral in front of SEMA in 2009 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/entire-outdoors-at-sema-lot-to-look.html

It also put JF at the top of the custom car builder world, and earned him the Trendsetter of the Year Award by Goodguys for 2008. In 2006 Chip Foose awarded him the Design Excellance Award at the Grand National Roadster Show.

waste 180 thousand dollars, pay for a 4 door 6 cylinder automatic to be masterly crafted into a 2 door Hemi dragster, then try to sell it because you are crazy. All true

 It's not restored, it would still be a 4 door, 6 cyl, automatic. This guy is not easy to talk to, because for the last 5 or 6 years I've seen him at car shows he is constantly angry about how the world is against him. Well, he's rich enough to waste money like this, but not smart enough to get an ASE certified, or BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repair) licensed car crafter to do it his way. It's a stunning example of big money, big troubles

Nos or reproduction parts were not used where original could be repaired or reconditioned to like new. The car is incredible really. But who else but this guy who wanted a car exactly like this but didn't want to buy one, would blow 175-180 thou for it?
