That car always caught my eye! A unique kustom by a unique caricature! I wonder if Bill Hines is still with us? He's no "spring chicken"! I bet they will bury him with that unlit cigar! I bet he wouldn't have it any other way.

BTW, the board has "edit" and "delete" functions. You can delete a double post, as long as it has no replies, afaik.
