Build Goal
"The idea/goal was to see how far they could really push the envelope in quality, creating one of the nicest '32s possible. That's why it's so over-the-top, with a level of quality rarely seen even from the industry' leading builders"
This '32 Hi-Boy has about 5,000 labor-hours into the build. There are many hand fabricated parts from the exhaust, tail lights, body, frame, wish bone front suspension, etc. New Metal Kustoms did nearly all of the work themselves.
