1950 Chevy Custom

Ok, first off I want to let everyone know that Chris Clark built this car at Genes shop. Gene painted, and Alfredo cut and polished it. Im not kissing Chris's rear end, actually our two personalities are about like gasoline and an open flame! But I (Dewey) feel the guy truely captured the meaning of Kustom with this car, and alot of talent and time went into it. Im only 35 so I dont know everything, but it seems to me that Winfiled, Jefferies,Watson, Roth, etc. in the 50's and 60's were trying to create something different and of QUALITY. Allways setting the bar higher or coming up with some different artistic idea. Not some cookie cutter street rod, which I build plenty of and enjoy, or some half assed rat rod death trap with floor missing out of it. They were true craftsman and still are. I personally feel Chris Clark hit the mark with this car!

I love this car, and wish I had the money to buy it. Yes its for sale, arent they all?
Anyways this is Chris Clarks bitchin creation, and he is starting to assemble it and I cant wait to see the green glass he molded for the top installed! This car has so much trick stuff you got to see it in person. Im sure you will once its all together and in the magazines.

 

Looks like a lot of customizing to me.

 

I'm a huge Winfield fan, But I don't think I get the windows in the roof thing. Just don't get it. Horrible. Maybe I'm wrong. Paint looks fantastic as usual though.

 

I 2nd that!!!

 

It looks eco-friendly. I think it took "going green" a little too far...

 

I gotta say this is horrible,the roof is a mess,the rear end treatment is terrible,none of it makes sense,it looks like the roof of some hippy wagon grafted to a chevy body

 

Um... wow. I know you have to give the customer what they want. I would think that to be the case here.

 

Chris Clark built the car at Gene's shop. Gene just painted it for Chris a few days ago.

 

Yep, I am not feelin the roof...
It seems like it's too much...

 

The roof holes are view ports so people can look in and see you banging the track bimbo.

 

I justt wanna know one thing?,WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

 

This car could be a break through. Finish will tell.

 

Paint looks great...not feelin' the roof but I'll wait to see the finished product

 

Top looks like a bicycle helmet.

 

Is the plan to grow plants? I can respect all the work, but?

 

I don't like the roof but i'm Interested to see what it looks like with the glass in though.

 

don't care who painted it,car is to over the top,not a looker at all.....richie..........

 

Green is a good color...

R-

 

Gene can still spray em..what a nice paint job...Looks like he's got Jose' doing the colorsanding though...

 

I'm not getting the top at all............. that is fugly!

 

Well first off let me start by saying this aint Gene who posted this. Its Dewey, and Chris and I get along about as good as gasoline and a fire. But its a custom car its supposed to be over the top! Its supposed to be trick or different its art, not some cookie cutter street rod or rat rod. Im actually shocked that some of you dont like the roof. Youve got to see this car in person to appreciate the design and talent that went into this car. Chris Clark has been around for a long time, he's 65. I really feel he has captured what so many customizers in the 50's and 60's were doing. Well anyways its just my opinion. Dewey

 

really need to see it all together but I think I will never like the top. I'd like to see more pics of it.

 

I can appreciate the craftmanship. But customs are supposed to flow and the roof pulls the eye in too many directions. I think the glass insert idea could be cool, but only if it flowed with the body. The lines of these inserts do not flow. The rear window also fights the rest of the car a bit. just my .02

 

no offense gene, but the roof is dented and bowed... it just dont look right to me....

 

looks fuckin stupid and not what this board is about

 

in the magazines???? good lord!

good thing i dont read ol stool or traditional rat & custom

 

I like it! Screw what everyone on here says man, its a bandwagon. So ONE car out of 500,000 other kustoms has some roof windows. Give me a break you guys, just dig that someone did something a little different. Ya, maybe its not something you would do to your car, but its kinda cool to see something different. Id like to see some pics of when its done.

MEMPHIS RAT--Its not Gene thats posting this, idiot. Read what he wrote, its an EMPLOYEE.

 

1950 Chevy Custom.
What is it about then? ...

 

I guess its about evolution...creative ideas...and a trip back to 60's customs...right on srosa707, beauty in the eye of the beholder or some such...the paint is 'as good as gold'

Knucklehead read the entire post!

You the expert on what looks fuckin' stupid.
