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

@gonmad I think Mickey is saying that the damage an old one might incur wouldn't matter.... Jeff can fix it.

By the way, in that photo of you pointing at Jeff that's me in the red shirt and goofy hat that he's talking to!

I started to point out my personal opinion and just changed my mind but we all know some things just shouldn't be done.
I'll go back under my rock now.

That's kind of the way I took it, but wasn't sure.

Man, we've been to all these shows at the same time and I don't remember if I've ever met you! Need to holler at me next time so we can officially meet.

 

Pics from CraigOwens, Novato CA Cars and Coffee. This has got to be a Richard Zocchi designed custom.

 

Wow, that's nice

 

The proper chrome steel wheels/tire combo can really set off a stocker or mild custom.

 

Yeah, the car ain't bad, either!

 

Some random pics...

 

Here`s the pic`s. Maybe the bondo was thicker than an inch.

 

I always had a soft spot for 64-66 Ford P/U's, but as a factory stock. Don't know if I've ever seen a custom one. Don't know if I'll ever be able to un-see this one.

 

Some old pics I took from the 1984 Merc Deuce Reunion in Wichita. I know that I have posted these before.
I'm just trying to wipe out the memory of the Ford Pickup. of up.

 

Interesting post on a '39 Ford custom built in the early 50's on Hemmings this morning

I like the way this one is coming together. Love the use of the body line.

 

My brother Dan, and I drove up to Puyallup, Washington the end of July to attend the GG's Northwest Nats and see some west coast kustoms. Found quite a few there so thot I'd post some up.

First one is this gorgeous '59 Impala...


...'59 Caddy taillights, '60 Mercury grille, bucket seats and ww's...

Next up is a '57 Packard that puts John D'Agostino's Pink Packard to shame (mods please don't delete simply because it doesn't have whitewalls)...!!!

Thanks for posting the pics. That '59 took me a while to scroll down. She is Purrfect.
I love the Packard, it has a lot of kool kustom work. Defiantly a work of art.

 

That '59 sure looks like Bill Hines' El Camino! (Photos from Rik's archive)

 

That would be kool having both of them parked side by side in my garage.

 

"Imitation is the greatest form of flattery," Sancho...you and I both know there's been a lot of kustoms built on someone else's ideas over the past 65 years...

Here's a couple more...
And yet another Cadillac... ...and another '55 Cadillac (apologies for the open hood)...

...and finally a nice mild shoebox...

I wasn't knocking it at all. I just knew I recognized that rear-end treatment.....

It is a fitting tribute. I recall a couple magazine articles that discussed replicating well-known kustoms and rods with the same year but different body style. I think this would fall into that group as well.
