Hot rodders could learn a lot from the custom bike scene. They take more chances with style, color selection and fabrication. Their projects have more "attitude". Sure, some of the ideas get carried away, but a lot of it is real cool like alternative wheel colors/finishes and oneoff detail items.
Nothing wrong with rallye stripes silver paint and shiny wheels, but it would be cool if more hot rodders mixed things up a little. The Killer Customs 69 is a good example. That car really stands out.
