    Talking Show Me Your Bubble!

     



    Man I really dig 60's style Kustoms, especially Bubble Tops.
    I stumbled across this today, from 1946 .. it may be the first bubble top kustom ever.



    Show me you best Bubble Top!

    Here are a couple. The X-Sonic showcar from the '60's, and the current build of Aaron (Plowboy on the HAMB), which he calls the Atomic Punk. I love this car, and he cranked it out pretty fast, I understand.

    That first one is the offspring of a Buick and a B17. He shoulda left the twin .50's in it for freeway driving!

    Was that Atomic punk car at Indy? I saw the car there. Very retro-kool(not in dictionary but a cool word just the same)

    I Googled retro-kool and got this:

    I think it was at Indy. Aaron it quite a guy and has done a few of these types of cars. My Son tells me he cranks them out unbelievably fast for what they are.

    It has to be expensive and difficult to make those bubbles with no distortion.
