Customs Jeff Myers-Ian Berky shoebox chop

Hubcaps look like Olds sombrero's without the painted center. CalCustom made some generic knock off caps that look exactly like the Olds caps but without the painted center and the embossing in the center.

 

@HudsonCustom.. thanks for the hubcap info. Better pictures

Drove the car down to Mercury Charlies about two weeks ago. 700 miles rt. Car did great. Picked up a cool trophy from Mr Gene Winfield. Super stoked!

 

Very cool!

 

Kongrats! That is a very kool award. Look forward to seeing it the end of the month.

 

very nice, saw the car being done at Jeffs shop, looks great!

 

Gotta give props to Shoebox-Chris for doing an awesome job with the vents and door glass. He also installed the back stainless and lost the black rubber around the back glass. Looking sweet!

 

Great time at P&P this year. It's always good to see frineds and killer cars...,, Getting picked by Bass just sealed the whole deal!

 

Nice and smooth traditional custom. Very tastefully done. Congrats on the well deserved award.

Those do look like Olds caps...I think 52...not sure. But I have an Olds set that I plan on running on my 56 Olds custom.

 

Yep!

 

The Blue Shoe is on it's way. Can't wait to get there!

 

Wow I walked in first thing I see I was blown away. So nice. I think I might have to go glossy.

 

Awesome, Ive seen it on acouple of GNRS threads call me when you get back. I'm leaving for Cali on the 4th Feb. BUCKD

 

Looks really nice with the shiney blue stuff on there. Love the chop.

 

Great job arturo,really awesome ride.I am glad we had the chance to meet up and talk.Remember you need to come to SD with that ride so we can shoebox it around san diego!

 

Good times! Glad I was there for it, and I'm already looking forward to next year

 

As you can see by my expression.. I had a blast the GNRS.
Thanks to LowDown Kustoms for picking my car!
Thanks to Dan Greenberg for the awesome photo.

 

Wow, that car is incredible.

 

Thank you Elturo. You have an amazing and very photogenic ride, my friend. Hard to take a bad picture of it.

 

It's been 3 yrs to the day - Thousands of miles and a few awards later.
I've been very fortunate to have so many talented craftsman work on the car. Where it all started - the awesome chop from Jeff Myers & Ian Berky. A beautiful paint job from Chris Frasher. Many people & friends i'm grateful to have had a hand in it. ShoeboxCentral, Atlas Speed Shop, Douglass Machine, all the behind the scene people - the list goes on & on.

Thanks again to everyone that has made the car what it is.

 

Congratulations on that milestone for you and your gorgeous shoebox, Arturo.

 

Big time!
