My 1949 Ford coupe custom named Obsidian Teardrop.

My favorite part is that wicked engine bay!

Nothing like a fuel injected Ardun flat head to keep things moving along.

[Street Rod]

Really cool! Like the art-deco look.

The slight tear drop shape of the 49 body, accentuated by the new top, is most evident in a bird's eye view. Also, a comparison was made to the 53 Studebaker, so here is a shot with one I built as a mild custom a few years back. Thanks for all the comments- it came out pretty much as I wanted, except the rear end could be a bit lower. However, this would make a real car a lot more drivable!

Very nice work,Paul! A very nice, unique looking Kustom!

Pretty cool. I've been secretly following and I didnt think I was going to like it. You proved me wrong. Great wheels and motor. Nice build.

A lot of major body work and interior. The front bumper/grill resembles the Muntz roadster from the early 1950's. Integrating the later style roof onto the earlier body is really well done. I also like the Arden head engine.

Again, thanks for the positive comments- My take on customizing is sleeker, simpler, and usually lower. Does anyone see a little Tucker in this? Just began to see it myself..............

That's a good looking Ford Coupe. It has a Sinister look to it.

[Paul Payne]

It does, doesn't it!

[slusher]

Wonderfully done!

[Oldcarfan27]

Paul, you're killing it with all of these customs, good eye!

[rsmodels]

Really nice looking custom, Paul. I love that front end!
