Industrial designer Keith Charvonia stops by with the amazing restomod.
It took eight years to build (by himself) in his garage.

Tough ride
Yup, a real bad azz.
One of my friends had a 47/48? Kaiser/Fraser.
Alligator skin roof and seats, chrome dash so you could wash off the blood easily.
Straight flat 8
Gramps had a Kaiser in the early 50’s, though it was stock.
A friend came by the other day with a 1952 Hudson Hornet, the guys that collect these things are amazing. Lots of time and effort to do these. Hats off to those so driven.
Great car. ThaMk you for posting.
Crazy amount of sheet metal work.
Those tuned port injection engines are getting hard to find, especially if it was a 350. (having to watch it muted as the wife is sleeping) Most were 305s. But they look so good in some vehicles.
That K&N air filter sticking down by the main pulley is stupid as is the aluminum tubing strapped up under the radiator support.
Upholstery has some puckers.
Bondo over PVC over steel steering wheel rim? ok
Cool car though.
Beautiful car! ETL, you know how to pick ‘em.
Thanks! Glad you like these threads.
Just want to help keep the America we knew and loved alive.
Fortunately, thanks to President Trump, we have still have hope!
