“Kill ‘Em All” With an Iron Fist
Before this coupe became “Iron Fist,” James Hetfield drove it as a Rat Rod with a lowered roof and suspension and large exhaust pipes. Blue Collar Customs reshaped the trunk and added a metal roof. In contrast to its bare exterior, the interior is more refined- with nickel-plated instruments, a Petri steering wheel, and a horn button featuring St. Christopher and the signs of the Zodiac. Hetfield chose the special clear coat paint job after seeing it on the two Bad Seed guitars.
