Features Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms....

Happy 500th page of Kustoms @straykatkustoms I guess we could call it "Stray Kat 500". You know? That's got a good ring to it. Some one should do something with that

Liking the '41 Merc above. Assuming those are '56 F-100 headlight rings?? Shows how a little thing can make a big difference on a Kustom. They look good, but add a little more to the bevel of the ring (a.k.a. Hagen headlight frenching kit) and turn kooool into aaaaargh.

Thanks for starting this thread. I visit every day to see the eye candy traditional kustoms.

 

Holy krout, I am surprised at all the kustoms out there. Most so damned kool, and some not so much. Just wish that those so far out there were labeled as to what they are/were.

 

Lol! Thank you, for the happy 500th page wishes. Kool to see all of the guys that contribute to the thread. I'm amazed how many kustoms are being built today. Kustom Forever!

 

1959 Ford Thunderbird owned and restyled by Bo Sandberg of Yanke Customs in Älvesjö, Sweden.

After building a mildly customized 1959 Ford Thunderbird named the... "Surfin Bird" that I showed you yesterday, Bo started building a more radical Thunderbird custom called the "Wild Bird" in 1965. Bo based the Wild Bird build on a Thunderbird coupe that he cut the roof off. Bo saved and chopped the part of the roof above the rear window. An additional trunk lid from a 1959 Ford Thunderbird was flipped around and welded on to the body over the back seats. The old taillight housings on the flipped trunk lid were used to attach the headrests. Fiberglass GT chairs were placed low and further back then original. A flying console was installed between the front seats. The original console and all the pieces around the dashboard were chromed. A 13 inch Covico steering wheel was installed to give more room for the driver. The rearview mirror was installed between the dual plexi windshields. The front end was heavily restyled and fit with two large air intakes. The front fenders that used to house the taillights were modified and fit with directional lights. The taillights were moved down into the air intakes. The air intakes on the hood were given the same treatment as the front fenders.

Apparently it now sits in a small village outside Gothenburg. Though it needs a lot of attention before it’s back in its former glory.

 

Let's keep the posts HAMB-friendly, ladies and gentlemen!

 

Saw this the other day parked downtown...46-ish Dodge

 

I'm not a big fan of asymmetrical styling, but Dave Puhl's Chevy may be my favorite interpretation.






Puhl later pursued the theme to the extreme, with his "Illusion" show car.

 

Compared to mine -48
