The Cragar fronts and jacked up rear ends scream 70s show/drag car but the blacked out, yellow lettered rubber and sponsor list doors have a real NASCAR feel.
What ever its called I can't think of a better use for 80s JDM box designs.

Style School - Drag Look?
Another American influenced Japanese style but one that I have never been able to find a name for.

The transition from teen skater to the world of Chops and Bobbers is a path well trodden.The following is an example of the the wonderful results so often produced by this combination of hyperactive skateboard energy, beautifully crafted custom motorcycles, quality photographic equipment and just the right amount of free time.

Style School - A Hacksaw Is OK
I really love how easy these old articles make things sound.
Did yesteryear's men have more skills or is the modern journalist more realistic?

Dragon Snake
Created by Shelby American employees as an after hours project the Dragon Snake Cobras extended the Cobra's Motorsport dominance to Drag Strips all over the country.
This one showed up at this years Grand National Roadster show
The original Dragon Snake (CSX201) started life as a PR special and high flying movie extra ("Viva Las Vegas" and "The Killers") before becoming the test bed for the factory Drag Racing program.

Safari Status - Los Boulevardos
"Too late to be traditional, Too lowrider to be custom, Too custom for lowriders"
"A style born on the Boulevards 'Bellflower' customs are typically late 50s through mid-60s fullsized models that are characterized by wild paintjobs, customized interiors, and a lowered stance."
The modern home of the Bellflower movement is Los Boulevardos CC, a group of cars and guys committed to continuing the evolution and application of true 60s style Boulevard cruisers.
