1957 Ford Kustom. Raiden wanted an early 60’s kustom style. Quad headlights were popular in the time so the 57 needed those to make it appear newer than it is. Scratch built cruiser skirts and a thin kustom side trim with an early fifties Buick flow.
1958 Impala grill and bullets. The fins were shortened and rounded. I used headlight buckets flipped backwards to house the 1959 Cadi taillights. The rear bumper is a 1957 Desoto front grill and bumper flipped upside down. Frenched dual antennas and a 4 seat bucket interior with matching console in black and white diamond tuck. The paint is pearl white and gold with a partial panel paint job similar to the Watson style and a mold fade away similar to the Winfield fade. Deep dish steelies on white walls finish it off.
