James Hetfield (also a member of the Beatniks car club) had a cool customized 53 Buick Skylark (named Skyscraper) at the Grand National Roadster Show (formerly the Oakland Roadster show), and won the Most Elegant Custom at the San Fran Custom Show http://www.sfcustomshow.com/navigation/showresults.html#Anchor-35326 and Kirk Hammet had his 36 Ford GNRS too, and they were both pictured in Street Rodder magazine.
