The frontman for the heavy metal group Metallica, one James Hetfield, is a car guy. His complete custom, The Black Pearl, has just been named Custom Car of the Year by the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association!
I expected Hetfield to be a Chevelle, Mustang, Camaro kinda guy...Check
this ride out:
That is a work of art.
"What kind of car is it?", you may ask. Well,
it's a Black Pearl. You see, the body is all aluminum, and every piece of it started life as a flat sheet.
The bodywork is all hand-formed, the entire body was designed by Hetfield, his car pal Rick Dore, and body fabricators Marcel and Luc De Lay.
The frame is a '48 Jag. Motorvation is from a Ford V-8 making 375hp.
