Features 1948-52 New Old Style Kustoms

Love this thread, this made me get off my but crack open another Pabst and get busy getting my car ready for the summer/fall

 

Ill always remember taking a load of pics of this thing about 20 years ago in Holland Mich.

 

Love that tub !

 

Fish's '36 Ford.Nice !

 

the Fisher 36 rules. looks a lot like Jack Calori's 36 finished in '48...
now the question is...do you need spotlights to qualify for the style J.B is looking for or not?

 

One piece of roofles and satin painted matranga clone from 2003

 

It ain't easy to find cars that have all the details right, but 38zephy's 36 fits here even though it doesn't have spotlights..

 

This one is also soo nice!
I think I have seen it with skirts too, but I couldn't find any photos of it.....

 

Fantastic car Sondre... but it does not count. Its an old custom that was recently restored.

The boss (J.B.) only wants to see cars built in the last 15 years or so that look like they could have been built in 48-52.

 

Absolutely great!!
This is with no doubt my favourite style on Customs (but I'm afraid mine does not fit here ... 54' grille, etc.)

keep posting!

 

Haha my mistake, I thought that was a new build

 

I likem low in the back. But I'm from the south.

 

Ha ha..." the boss"
Well, the thing is that it would be very nice to see recent builds. Otherwise we will end up with a thread about old kustoms and we already have some great ones of those. Rik and other members have done some fab threads about this.

Could be 20 years back too. But not much longer. To see the newly built kustoms influenced by this distinctive style and also all the great efforts and historical knowledge that the builder needs, to achieve the goal.

Time to talk about drip rails yet?

 

Where is the red 36 from Norway that used to be a 4 door?
It has 57 Cad hubcabs but its a really nice car.

 

What drip rail?

 

Did I say drip rail?

 

Drip rails are for cars that are DRIVEN in all kinds of weather, including rain & snow. Can't live without them in my little part of this planet.

Ultimate styling doesn't always go hand in hand with most practical... That is unfortunately very true

 

Doesn't quite meet the criteria but really great car anyway.



Zorro is back.

 

If your chop and your stance is correct then that shit should be rolling right off the back Plus.... when its raining who drives with their windows down.

 

Mine are finally gone

 

All these cars are way Bitchin! Tail draggers for ever...

 

It's a HUGE deal to me to even be mentioned in this elite company !!!
Thank you !

 

I love the looks of this one. Definetly going in the right direction as far as looks.

I do not even want to mention drip rails in the same sentence as traditional 48-52 kustoms...

 

i'm not trying to be an ass hole ( really ! ) but 55 desoto grilles were a really hard to find item in 53 !!!!

 

same thing for 55 poncho trim !

kool thread anyway, keep them comin'

 

This is one of the best post in years....

 

Zed thanks for pointing that out,for once it wasn't me.
