Glad you said that. I've been hesitating posting mine because it is a year OT, but done traditional.

My dad bought this car new. My brother and I grew up in the back seat. There's probably cow DNA still in the upholstery from dripping ice cream cones. It has almost a quarter million miles on it. Retired from daily driving in 1996.

Going to finish the custom grill here soon and strip some emblems and the door handles. Custom tail lights are on the drawing board.

Crossing my fingers on finding a three two intake for the 318 polysphere.

 

Got my grill finished.

 

Heres my old 59 plymouth. 318 poly with 3 speed overdrive. This was a great car. Gary

 

1936 Dodge...Harry Westergard style:

 

This is such a cool car

 

What a beauty your car turned out Radio, you can be very very proud.

WOW Some of these are just too Kool!!!!
Got to LOVE those MoPar Customs!!

 

here's mine 54 Canadian Desoto, lowered, 265 with Edmunds intake, Edgy head and Cam

 

I like it. I have to laugh at some of these arbitrary rules. I rememeber the days of kustoms and during the era there was a constant debate about which kustoms were true customs. One school of thought was the more wild dramatic stuff (which personally I think is uber fugly 95% of the time) or the school of thought that you should look at it and think it could've come from the factory like that.

Funny how the one school seems to have won out for the most part.

And BTW I appreciate ANY car's customizations, it's just some are just not for me.

 

Here's my '55. Shaved handles and badges.

A friend of mine built this one a few years ago, He's since sold it.

 

An "in progess" pic. I really liked that car.

 

49' Coronet Club Coupe in the works, putting floors in it right now.

 

I really like how the roof came out. Was that padded cloth over fiberglass? I can't tell much from the photos.

 

Here's a 1953 cranbrook I used to own.

 

"I really like how the roof came out. Was that padded cloth over fiberglass? I can't tell much from the photos."

Yes. I don't remember if was removable or fixed though.
