If it is somehow possible to express the music style "Heavy Metal" in the form of a car, then this is most likely to happen with the 1948 Jaguar of the tuner RD Kustoms! The jaguar with the abbreviation “Black Pearl” was the eye-catcher at SEMA in Los Angeles.

Far removed from the 2014 models that the tuners actually deal with, the 48 Jaguar was created. The "Black Pearl" managed to steal the show from all new models.
The American Rick Dore (owner: RD Kustoms) designed this black monster. Metallica frontman James Hetfield was involved in the project to achieve the desired heavy metal flair.
The basis of the car was only a chassis of an 1948 Jaguar. RD Kustoms then used various templates for concept cars from the 30 years and designed the car on its own on the drawing board. An extreme performance deserves the absolute highest regard! Every detail of the case is absolutely handmade.
So that a decent drive is integrated RD Kustoms has installed a Ford V8 with 375PS. Not surprising that Hetfield in the US just about every price that there are and gave. You do not have to be a Metallica fan to call this car perfect.
This is what the unpainted body shell looked like.
