Folks Of Interest Bruce Conover Customs

Anyone know of Bruce Conover? He's been building custom cars for years. He's from NJ, PA, VA, MD area. I've known of him since 2004 and he lives a few miles down the road from me. I finally met him last year while stopping at one of his yard sales. I stopped by his place this morning and he took me on a tour of his car collection. Some shots are from magazine cars that he built. A few are not HAMB friendly so I will not post them.

Great cars and history

 

He replaced the firewall in my '40 Coupe years ago. He was in PA at the time.

 

Thanks for sharing a much better pic of that Merc. I posted the blue ford in the classifieds for him.

 

Hi Scooterville...
I knew Bruce back in the early 90's when he was in Easton Pa. He built my 54 Chevy Belair, the pink one in the Custom Rodder pictorial. I had the car for a few years until; I lost it in a bad divorce. I posted on a this thread

Thanks Again!!!

 

Thanks for sharing the pics and info. I'm going to his house tomorrow to help him list some cars and things online. He's just now getting on the internet. I'll show him your post.

 

Take some more picture`s please and post them.

 

Cool. Is he still working?

 

Dayuum...some real cool stuff there...thanks @Scooterville and all the other posting up additional work by this Talented Craftsman...

 

Golden Memories was built for a friend of mine. I always wondered where it went.

 

No don’t think so. I am going to see him today. after work to help him post some his cars and projects for sale online.

 

.......Scott, Are you going to put them on the HAMB classifieds first?..Thanks, Don.

 

I already did put some on there awhile ago. I’ll see if I can get him to join the H.A.M.B. too.

 

......That would be cool. "Spread the Gospel"

 

If it's not too late please tell him Cal Sampson said "HELLO!!"

 

Will do! I’m on my way to his house right now.

 

Bruce says hi!

 

Bruce looks like a cool guy. Would enjoy meeting him sometime. Like the checkered flag table also.

 

It's great that there are still custom car builders out there.

But the group is getting smaller.

 

That '60 El Camino is spot on. Very cool stuff!
