Aghast at their practices, I developed a lifelong distrust of such places of business before owning my first car.
This is the ultimate '51 custom. Bill Hines was the Grand Po-bah of chopped Lincolns. He used old school lead and smoked fat cigars constantly, it's a wonder he lived to 94. Larry Watson was the dean of custom paint.
