Funny, I was taking a break from work yesterday and caught a TV program owith him and his cars on it! I think it was on one of those moronic shows where some mahogany-coloured man rummages through someone's belongings for antiques and irreplaceable sentimental items to flog on in order for them to drag their screaming brats round Disneyland for a week. You know the sorta shows... the televisual equivalent of eating wallpaper paste.
Anyway, yeah, Andy Saunders. I'm a fan! Some of his stuff is not to my taste but his creativity is brilliant. I think the only thing that stops him being bigger is the self-promotional skills that Americans seem to be born with.

I'd say he's got a good eye. Some of his stuff looks the absolute dog's sack ;D

i think he's both !?
he has a really good eye as someone else said and abviously a hell of a craftsman (i assume he does the majority of the work ?) - but i think he's got enough time and talent to loon around with curse word cars too.

all the cars posted so far in this thread are horrible, but he does do some cool curse word.
that mulsanne he did is excellent, and the list of donor parts and the cars they're from shows the eye he has.

Yeah! Thet bentley he built is amazing, I read a great article in 'Intersection' about it, apparently he got it cheap in a salvage yard or something, and most of the body mods are built round interesting bits he found in tat yards here and there. RESTEKP.

Still think his 47 Pontiac (I think?) lowrider and the 57 Ford fairlane are the best ones he's done they are stunning cars.

I wasn't a big lover of the Bentley at the time, though it has grown on me.
Loved the Amazon though, even now it still looks bang-on.

can't say i like any of his stuff, he's obviously very talented to do these transformations, but the end result usually looks gorky and uncomfortable to me.

This guy a genius of the custom scene or just a whack job on wheels? Whack job, but then I can say that coz he's a mate! The Bentley has RR Front and Rear lights, plus the side gills. The Bodykit was bought at a car boot and is meant to be for a Montego! Been chopped about a bit since then. IIRC the front pillars are Carlton C pillars, most of the roof is Volvo and Mercedes, and the rear panel between the lights is Focus. The Tetanus Cord should be awesome when finished, its a long term build. There has been some 'interesting' cars in Andy's history, but most of them are sheer genius.
