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.

My friend Eric Gorges competed on that show against Cory Ness. Eric owns Voodoo Choppers in Rochester, Michigan. He lost, but then how do you compete against Ness and his fathers sprawling fortune and resources? I was proud of him though...he did the best he could for a small bike shop from Michigan.
