Rebel Run Post #6

If I had to title today's post it would be: "Well Constructed Customs".

Some of the absolute koolest vehicles at this year's show were built by the same customizer. He had pictures documenting both builds. He started with a Chevrolet HHR and a Plymouth PT Cruiser that had both been involved in rearend collisions.

When he was finished, he had to VERY sweet custom pickup trucks. My question....why can't Detroit designers come up with this kind of stuff!?!?!!? I'm thinking we wouldn't be in the situation at GM and Chrysler today if we had designers putting out cars that had these lines! SWEEEEET!

And while we are on the topic of sweeet, this little green Chevrolet makes me break one of the 10 Commandments EVERY time I see it....Thou Shall Not Covet....Thou Shall Not Covet!

Yesterday, I was talking about cool paint colors and schemes. This Caddy's color shifting paint gave the car a VERY "Suede and Chrome worthy" appearance. And Gene Winfield himself painted the incredible fade on the sweet Merc below.

If you've been around the car scene in the Midwest over the past few years, you've probably seen a flamethrower called "ShaBoom". The owner's latest creation is this Caddy he calls, "ShaBoom Gone Wild."

Still More from The Rebel Run, Post #5

Since this site is now linked to several other sites and communities, there is a good chance that my mother will read today's post. With that being said, I'd like to say, "Happy Birthday Mom!" It's pretty cool that my folks are "getting into" technology. It's great that my father follows this site and that my mother is now a member on Facebook. Keep it up guys, it will keep you young.

The kool thing about being into custom cars is that you can NEVER say, "Now I've seen everything". As long as there is imagination, and a desire to create, there will always be something new and cool. Whether it's a new eye-popping paint color, a radically customized car, new wheel/tire combination, there are lots of ways to make your car unique and a true express of you.

I'm really diggin' the newer candy/pearl paints. Wow, they can really push a car "over the edge" as this sweet tangerine paint does for this T-bucket.

Hey, yeah...I like the traditional pre-63 stuff, but there are a few post early '60s vehicles that catch my eye. Like this sweet red 1967 Impala. Heck, I even like the oversized wheels on this rad ride.

I'm still diggin' the wagons too. This '58 Chevrolet 4-door wagon was very kool.

Look at this 1951 Chevrolet closely. You should notice the custom Corvette headlights, grille and tail light combo. Yep, you really can't say, "Now I've seen everything, can you?"
