SUMMARY:The Art of the Build: Rods and Kustoms
DESCRIPTION:Whether it be Europe, Asia, here in America or anywhere in
  between, the world depends on mass-produced vehicles to make life con
 venient and comfortable. These vehicles and the factories that assembl
 e them are what keeps economies growing, businesses flourishing, and f
 amilies in motion. For most of the general population, a ‘showroom s
 tock’ car is more than adequate. In fact, the Antique Automobile Clu
 b of America (AACA) prides itself on promoting the preservation and re
 storation of cars and other vehicles to the exact way a car left the f
 actory for historical documentation.\n   But as typical human beings
 , we are all individuals, and some are not content to possess an objec
 t that thousands of others could easily own. Be it a house, car, or ev
 en a fashion statement, many of these free-thinkers prefer to create a
  custom tailored vision of their unique persona. We are all (thankfull
 y) guilty of this trait in some degree. Most manufactures now offer �
 �boutiques’ within their dealerships catering to customers wishing t
 o personalize their rides. Some owners take this to the limit, complet
 ely altering a vehicle in every form to create a true “one of a kind
 ”. The AACA Museum’s “Art of the Build” exhibit focuses on the
 se individuals, and the rolling art they have created. By treating eac
 h custom vehicle as a piece of sculpture, the Museum has planned this 
 display as an art installation, celebrating each item for what it has 
 become, not lamenting of what it once was. Each of these vehicles has 
 been carefully planned, and painstakingly transformed by hand to its c
 urrent configuration. Metal has been shaped, worked and smoothed, leat
 her has been dyed, stretched and sewn, paint has been sprayed, sanded 
 and polished, and powertrains have been extensively upgraded by world-
 class craftsmen. It was feared that many of these skills would be lost
  to history, but thanks to both restoration and custom shops they have
  been resurrected.\nBut as typical human beings, we are all individual
