Welcome to the Time-Bomb Roadster web-site. After 7 years of design and re-design, build, and re-build. I think we have the finished product pretty close.

As you navigate through the galleries you can appreciate the effort involved in getting the look just right through trial and error. This car was probably built twice all together.

Kustoms in my opinion are the most difficult cars to build, simply because there are no limits to the imagination. I wanted to incorporate three distinctive styles into this roadster.

First was the Kustom styling for the body modifications and there are a lot. Second was the Hot-Rod styling with the stroker flathead, 4-gear, 9 inch, and 4-bar set-up, and third was the Classic style of the interior with seamless diamond tufting in leather and the extensive use of donor cars for all the jewelry appointments throughout the car.

A huge congratulations to all the great craftsman involved in this project. With only 400 miles on the clock and having just finished in June 06 the car has been on 2 national magazine covers and won the Chip Foose design award in Toronto Ont. in January 07.

Now all the bugs have to be worked out over the winter so the summer we will be motoring problem free.

Drop me a line if you have any comments or questions about the people or the build, or any likes or dis-likes. I am planning a trip to the "Grand Daddy of them all" in January of 08 as a result of a personal invitation from show producer John Buck while at the Detroit Autorama this year. What a blast this ride has been.

Hope to see you over this summer`s show schedule...Time-Bomb John
