Default 1936 Pontiac custom

I saw a pretty cool '36 Pontiac custom at a car show today. It's still under construction, and they were displaying it in bare metal so you could see the workmanship which was pretty impressive. The top has been chopped, and there was a lot of modifications to the chassis including an air bag suspension. The thing I really liked was it's still running the original flathead 6, with an Edmunds twin carburetor manifold - you don't find those just laying around.

Here's a link to the shop's website. I've never heard of these guys before but they do pretty nice work.
