Great 40 Merc tub real beauty!

 

My first tub in the driveway on Mc Groarty St. Just noticed my chopped 40 Ford P/U reflection in the side of my tub. Lucky guy had alot of fun stuff.

 

Out on the front lawn on Chimineas St Northridge

 

Nice 36 Ford Convertible sedan skirts, ripples, wide whites, DeSoto bumpers, hopped up flathead.

Bruces' green tub, chopped, louvers, DeSoto Bumpers Stude tail lights, photo by Steve.

 

Almost a tub we designed following after the Burtaolucci/Ohanasian tub with the lift off Chevy top. Built by myself and John D' Angelo. Chopped, Chanelled, Low as you can go, 52 Ford trim on the running boards, Chevy grill and bumpers, frenched headlights, flush skirts, bumper guard tail lights, almost a tub!

 

1936 Ford tub stock California car like Clete Roberts had years ago.

 

straykatkustom played this trump on another thread.

Another nice tub from Lynn, 40 delux front end 39 Ford conv sedan, nice color.

 

D socal34, thanks!

 

Can I play? I don't know that id call my tub a custom, but i guess one could argue...

 

Great tub, with those hubcaps and trim rings you're in like flynn!

 

I like it! How many custom parts you reckon you had to build to make that sweet little ride? It's a Custom Hot rod imho!
