kustom

style of car modification, as applied (mostly) to cars built after 1949. cars prior to this date being hot rods.
Modification's include lowered suspension, roof chops, shaving of chrome side trim, and basically trying to make a good car look better.
One of the most famous examples being the Hirohata Mercury, a 1951 two-door mercuray sedan which was extensively modified by the famous Barris Bros

Take a look at Barris Bros, KKOA, Kustom Kings, in this case a picture paints a thousand words
