Many owners of Classic cars like to add their own individual features to their car. This results in what is known as 'A Custom Car'. Happy Hump day!
This is a fully-rebuilt custom Hot Rod special which (according to supplied paperwork) originally started out as a 1935 Ford Roadster (build date 04-01-35), was rebuilt/customised by Dan Slayton of Bakersfield, California between 1984-’86, and was later shipped to the U.K. in 2005, where it was later transformed into a circa 1928/’29 Model A Roadster bodied-build (fitted W/ a chromed Model A windscreen surround, plus custom fibreglass body built in Yorkshire, U.K.), featuring a custom-built grille, chromed inserts, petrol tank and retrofit frame steels all cast in the style of a 1932 Ford. The car was fitted W/ full classic MoPar running gear, such as a retrofit 5.3-Litre 318-CID Chrysler LA engine originally from a 1969 Plymouth police cruiser, including a rebuilt TorqueFlite “Street Racer” automatic transmission W/ 8” Gennie Nostalgia shifter, and an 8.25:1 live rear axle differential ratio from a 1976 Plymouth Volare.
The car also features a custom-built full steel floor, custom smooth steelie wheels + whitewalls, custom-fitted Pete-&-Jakes front axle I-beam, chromed hairpin + dampers, Buick-finned front drum brakes, Plymouth-finned rear drum brakes, Posie springs, the steering column + wheel from a Triumph, and a modified bench seat from a Hillman Minx, plus lots of other new components and custom-fitted equipment. Full Kustom gray respray, black/grey interior.
The car is fitted with an age-related six-character black plate registration; “468 UXK”, which matches a 1957 London plate.
This car was featured at Mathewson’s classic car auction and sales showroom, Pickering, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K., October 2021.

I thought she looks sweet like Caramel, so I decided to call her that. Then I thought by adding an 'i' to her name, it looks prettier? Haha...hope i'm making some sense here.
She's my 2nd fully customise girl but I really like her even though she hardly has an upper lip due to too much sanding >_< Acrylic eyes work wonders, but it is so much work to install. And it's not fully functionable, she can't blink now.
Hope you like Caramiel too :)

I have an earlier version of this (221) in white which has an opening bonnet and pop-up headlamps. The doors also open on that one, but the casting for this later version has been modified to make them less deep to accommodate added side exhausts.
The box for this one is incorrect, it is for the earlier version.

The Dodge Ram Van (also known as the Dodge B-series) is a range of full-size vans that were produced by Chrysler Corporation from the 1971 to 2003 model years. Replacing the Dodge A100, the Ram Van transitioned to a front-engine drivetrain configuration. Mostly offered as a cargo van and a passenger van, the model line was also initially offered as a cutaway van chassis.
The B-series van line was produced across 32 years of production, spanning three generations.
The second generation B Series was introduced in 1979 with the front portion of the body undergoing a redesign. The front fascia received a taller hood line and grille (styled in line with Dodge Ram pickup trucks), with parking lamps wrapping into the front fenders. Higher-trim Sportsman vans were fitted with four rectangular headlamps while lower-trim versions (and Tradesman cargo vans) were fitted with dual round headlamps. For 1981, the model line underwent a major rebranding. In line with its pickup truck counterpart (which became the Dodge Ram pickup), the Dodge Tradesman and Sportsman nameplates were retired in favour of Dodge Ram Van and Wagon; the B-series nomenclature remained, revised to B150, B250, and B350.

This Car Was Spotted Outside Mathewson’s Classic Car Auction House And Motor Museum, Thornton-Le-Dale, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K., In March 2021.
Onside distanced view of a 1959 Buick Le Sabre 4-Door, 6-Passenger Sedan; Customised, model code [4419], one of 8,286 examples built. Age-related six-character registration “651 UXM”. Snapped outside Mathewson’s classic and vintage car auctions house, Thornton-Le-Dale.
Back in 2018 I snapped this brutal 1959 Buick Le Sabre 4-Door Customised Sedan outside the famous Mathewson’s auction house in Thornton-Le-Dale, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K. (around the time the first season of the popular TV series was being filmed). This jet age-styled car was by far the most radical vehicle on auction that day.
This Bad-To-The-Bone Buick, registration “651 UXM” had been in the U.K. for quite a while, and had received some interesting custom work, including aftermarket alloy mags, removed door handles, missing some chrome trim, and its front bench seat was a replacement which might’ve come from a pickup truck. The car was painted in a shade of Kustom “Matte Black” respray, underneath a glossy “Glacier Green” roof. At the time the car was up for auction, it still had its original (possibly tuned) 6.0-Litre, 250-HP, 363.5-CID “Nailhead Wildcat” OHV V8, column-mounted 3-Spd helical M/T, and an (assuming) original 3.58:1 ratio live rear axle hypoid differential. The car required some mechanical attention, including new brakes. The chrome bumpers were quite badly pitted, too. However, the rest of the car seemed pretty solid and complete. This Buick was purchased by an enthusiast who has since undertaken some much-needed recommissioning work.
Read about how I customised this Pocket Eden as a travel journal on the blog here: www.cathryncook.co.uk/blog/2010/11/filofax-as-a-travel-jo...
The fabled Bedford JO was the smallest model of the TJ range.
New Zealand almost certainly had the bulk of the limited production run (1961-66), with many government department having considerable fleets of them. A fair number have survived but many have been either customised to varying degrees or exported to the UK, where they are favoured by nostalgic members of the travelling community. These vehicles are subjected to no-expense spared restorations and end up in better than new condition.
This particular example was seen roadside on the outskirts of Thames at the base of the Coromandel Peninsular. In common with just about all of the customised examles to be seen here in NZ, it has been re-powered with a V8 engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The wider pattern wheels and tyres do not look too out of place and no "chop-job" has been done to the cab! The steel-channel bumper, "Roo Bar" and sun visor are normal Antipodean accessories for a JO and make for a not unpleasant blending of originality and tasteful customisation.
I passed this beauty on my way down to Aberdeen Harbour this afternoon Sunday 24th March 2019, I asked the driver if I could take some photos , he agreed, we chatted for a while discussing the truck its background etc, it was a fine half hour indeed, posting a few of the shots I captured.

Customised Colours - Oor Wullie
Oor Wullie (English: Our Willie) is a Scottish comic strip published in the D.C. Thomson newspaper The Sunday Post.
It features a character called Wullie Russell.
Wullie is the familiar Scots nickname for boys named William.
His trademarks are spiky hair, dungarees and an upturned bucket, which he uses as a seat - most strips since early 1937 begin and end with a single panel of Wullie sitting on his bucket.
The earliest strips, with little dialogue, ended with Wullie complaining ("I nivver get ony fun roond here!"). The artistic style settled down by 1940 and has changed little since.
A frequent tagline reads, "Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A'body's Wullie!" (Our Willie! Your Willie! Everybody's Willie!).
Created by Thomson editor R. D. Low and drawn by cartoonist Dudley D. Watkins, the strip first appeared on 8 March 1936. Watkins continued to draw Oor Wullie until his death in 1969, after which the Post recycled his work into the 1970s.
New strips were eventually commissioned from Tom Lavery, followed by Peter Davidson and Robert Nixon. Ken H. Harrison drew the strip from 1989 until 1997, when Davidson resumed duties. Between January 2005 and 2006 storylines were written by broadcaster Tom Morton from his home in Shetland, and subsequently they were written by Dave Donaldson, managing director of Thomson's comics division.
The current writer is former Dandy editor Morris Heggie.
lthough Wullie's hometown was unnamed in the original Watkins strips, it has been called Auchenshoogle since the late 1990s.
Wullie and his friends roam the streets of his town, though he is sometimes depicted at school which he finds confining. Praise from his teacher, who addresses him as "William", is rare and acutely embarrassing. His adventures often consist of unrealistic get-rich-quick schemes that lead to mischief, to the despair of his parents Ma and Pa and local policeman P.C. Joe Murdoch. Wullie's gang consists of himself, Fat Bob, Wee Eck (Eng: Little Alex), 'Soapy' Soutar (/ˈsoʊtər/) and Primrose Paterson (an annoying girl who likes Wullie, but who Wullie often does not want to be in the gang, yet manages to be much better than him in various games and activities such as football, racing, climbing trees and firing a catapult). Wullie is the self-proclaimed leader, a position which is frequently disputed by the others. In early strips the gang met in a wooden shed - usually located in the garden at Wullie's house. In later strips the gang meets in a derelict caravan called Holly Rude. He used to have another friend called Ezzy, who has stopped appearing in the strips, along with Wullie's unnamed little brother.
He owns a pet mouse named Jeemy and in later strips a pet dog called Harry. In the Ken Harrison strips he gained additional supporting characters, such as the pretty Doris Gow (whom Wullie likes, much to Primrose's rage), her boyfriend, the town bully Basher McKenzie, and grumpy old neighbour Moaning Mildew (modelled on Victor Meldrew from One Foot in the Grave).
Wullie's age has not been consistent, in the early Watkins scripts he looked about 5 or 6, in later Watkins scripts he looked about 10 or 11, more recently he has become slightly younger.
William Ross, Baron Ross of Marnock, Secretary of State for Scotland 1964-70 and 1974–76, was occasionally depicted in political cartoons seated on a bucket as Oor Wullie.
In March 2006, BBC Scotland documentary Happy Birthday Oor Wullie celebrated the strip's 70th and TV show's 28th birthday with celebrity guests including Karen Dunbar, Sanjeev Kohli, Kaye Adams, Iain Robertson, Tony Roper, Tam Cowan, Stuart Cosgrove and Dominik Diamond, and was narrated by Billy Boyd.
When The Topper launched in 1953, Oor Wullie appeared in the masthead, although not as a story in the comic. He often appeared sitting on his bucket, though other poses were used as well.
The pose on Topper no. 1 had him wearing a top hat. He had the top hat in one hand and the other hand pointing at the Topper logo. Early annuals were undated, so this information is to help identify them. Later annuals had the copyright date inside them.
Annuals
Starting in 1940 the Oor Wullie strips also appeared in the form of a Christmas annual which alternated every second year with “The Broons”, another D. C. Thomson product. (No annuals were published between 1943 and 1946.) Pre-1966 annuals were undated. Starting in 2015, both titles are now published annually.
A facsimile of the first The Broons annual was released on 25 November 2006 and of the first Oor Wullie annual the following year.
Since 1996 - the 60th anniversary of the strip - D.C. Thomson has also published a series of compilation albums featuring The Broons and Oor Wullie on alternate pages.
The early stories are often recycled in current annuals. An example being the “twin cousin” story in the 2018 annual being first seen in the fifties.
Oor Wullie's Bucket Trail 2016
In celebration of Oor Wullie's 80th anniversary in 2016, he was the subject of a major public art project when 55 decorated 5ft sculptures of him were placed around Dundee and its environs with another 13 touring round Scotland over an 8 week period.
Additionally 29 smaller versions of the sculptures were designed by school children in Dundee as part of an education programme connected with the trail. There were also two smaller community sculptures.
As of 2017, the Bucket Trail was the largest mass public art project to have taken place in Scotland.[3] The project ran from 27 June for two months, with the sculptures being auctioned in September for £883,000.
The proceeds went to the Archie Foundation’s appeal to raise money for a new pediatric surgical suite at Tayside Children's Hospital.
The event attracted large numbers of visitors to Dundee, while the city's inhabitants showed enthusasism towards the project.
Prior to the auction, a farewell event held in Dundee's Slessor Gardens from 9-11 September saw 95 Oor Wullie statues on public display and sold over 12,000 tickets.
Ultimately about 20,000 people attended the event. Each statue has its own unique design, for instance one entitled Oor Bowie, was inspired by David Bowie, while a spaceman-themed statue was inspired by Tim Peake.
