Here is another link http://www.zercustoms.com/photos/Hot-Rod-Jakob.html

I also like the way they did the disc brakes on the front wheels. I have seen some custom harley's that run them like that.

I like it from a "looks" standpoint! Those brakes are dangerous... as a cruiser and show car it is fine, but you would cook them pretty quickly if you ever actually got after the car a bit... unless it only weighs what two Buells weigh which I highly doubt. Still, neat looking - thanks for posting! (My buddy is a big-time Volvo guy so I will let him know )

I appreciate the elegance of its design, but it's almost too simple. Still cool though.

And yes those brakes look like they will fold like paper!

I like the look of the car. I (as you all have said) have to wonder about the durability of those brakes in this application, but they do look cool.
