I would like to comment that the balance achieved in the form and flow of lines in this Ford coupe is…have to say is absolutely perfect.  The restrained, tasteful elimination of distracting elements is a true celebration of that coveted 40’s traditional custom look.   Good on you, mate!

Just testing to see if it works. Updating the site.

I agree with Larry.

I had seen this car before at an indoor show… but these pictures from thehuffreport taken at an Morris Illinois outdoor car show are nice.

Interesting… kind of double feelings about this one. Modern, vintage, totally unique. Live Free Fabrication and Kustoms created the car.

It’s a swing and a miss for me. A pretty big miss actually.
