ICON - Derelict --- my idea of a resto-mod.

Man I love these. Old lines, new drive train. The ultimate sleeper.

Here is a Rolls on Jay Leno's garage.

My favorite
We discovered this 1948 Bucik Super Convertible while on the hunt for a Roadmaster. We instantly fell in love and bought it anyway. The minute it arrived, a great client and friend saw it and also fell in love, so he had us build it for him. Last on the road in 1958, it was perfect for what we do. This client is a bit of a leadfoot, so we built it with a blown LS9 putting out about 670HP! This one is an absolute blast to drive!

Thumbs up "ICONIC" Hot Rods

I looked at that Buick rag top when they were doing it and after finished, I *think* they did another one in blue....

What they do is very, very good but I like oldies and I don't like fake 'patina' nor the modern drive trains .

Very, VERY $pendy here, you need to be seriously rich and have a couple years patience whilst they build your ride .
