Peter Lombardo Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Lyle, you flat out "own" that style of Hot Rod. Nobody does these builds better than you. You have all of the details perfect....the colors, the wheels and tires and the stance....you nail every one of these points. Beautiful....just beautiful.

charlie8575 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I like the overall execution, Lyle. I love the little irony of using a lighter body for a gas tank. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
