Projects The story of my kustom project

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by Sancho, Jul 18, 2018.

  1. It's still going. Slowed down a little due to unforeseen circumstances.

    Jimmy is in the process of installing the engine/transmission now. Then he will start on wiring.

    I've always liked Poncho's rides. They show much inventiveness and creativity.

    BTTT, you can't show us a side project of the caliber of the Ranchero and not get us even more revved up about the build at hand...Hope all is well as can be @Sancho...

    Hi, Pancho. Ditto as to Stogy's share says.

  11. As you guys know Jeff passed in December. That had me down for a while... needless to say this build has slowed dramatically. It WILL happen!

    I bought out Jeff's half of the Ranchero and I'll be keeping it. It's very sentimental now.

    @Sancho my belated condolences to You, Jeff's Family and friends in his passing...I was unaware or missed the mention of the loss here or my mind is getting old...Life is fluid and unpredictable and truly can take a chunk of the heart...it will be a very Spirited Build and Custom...We're here for the Journey, High Fives on to the key turning and the rumble...great to hear from you and thanks for sharing the journey Hamber...;)

    I acquired a '59 Custom 300 2-door this year and found this thread. I grew up traveling I-44 between Oklahoma and Missouri and always saw the signs for Daryl Starbird's museum...could never talk my parents into stopping. This is an inspiring build and I hope you find the will and courage to continue on after the passing of your friend.
