Default James Hetfield's custom MK build


This was built on a MK chassis, but there's not really any Jag sheet metal left from what I can tell. That said? I think the Metallica frontman has great taste in cars. What do you think? More pics and info here.

Rick Dore does phenomenal body work and interior work. The only think to me is it appears to have more of a old school Ford V8 and to match the style it really should have a modern computer controlled new V8 like an LS or Coyote V8.

If you're going to go this far, I think a modern power plant is the way to go, for sure.

You can see the basis of the original in the final job, great looking car

What comes to mind is one of those coach built Delahaye's built by Figoni and Falaschi.
