Issue 58 over car is a gorgeous 1950 Ford shoebox coupe, chopped and customized by none other than the late Bill Hines. Lova is a tribute to Bills wife and was finished off by Tom Cunningham and friends in honor of Lova herself.
Also featured is another shoebox Ford owned by a young gun by the name of Ryan Kopchinski. His radically chopped 49 sedan is perfect and traditional in every way. We know you will like it.
Next is a custom from across the sea! Palle Johansen drew inspiration from George Barris, and with the help of his good friend Rik Hoving, created a stunning 47 Cadillac with a Gaylord-style padded top. This one is a true time warp!
