Looks like he did some nice custom exhaust work, but beyond that it looks like a standard AME frame with a GM crate engine and some custom plumbing. Not knocking the car, because I think it's very nice....but "custom" just doesn't ring for me. It's like Dan's "Bruiser" being featured in the "Homebuilt Heroes" section in Hot Rod Magazine. Nothing on it was "home-built".



Like this?

So exactly how many one-off hand built parts does a car need to be qualified as "custom" anyway? So, you can't buy any parts needed from Summit, or anywhere, or use any original parts to build a car for it to be custom?
