anybody have some pics of this incredible 49 chevy?

I'll be the US pres. of the fan club, I am a 49-52 Chevy freak and it is by far the most beautiful one I have ever seen. The first post I ever posted on the HAMB(after my intro of course) was basically this same post. Here are some pics from my collection

They do turn out some badass stuff out of that shop...I believe this merc came out of there..

 

did a seach, the Drag'n Shop did this too

 

Okay,we now know they are from Santa Fe Springs,Ca and the guy behind the shop is Joseph "50's Joe" Garcia.Come on guys,there's still more to find out !!!

 

some more

 

This is Frank Epsteins '51 built by that shop. His pop is Joe Epstein of Epsteins muffler in Montebello.They turn out some badass bombs, pretty well known in the lowrider world. Here's some shots over time...

Now comes the kickass subtle body work.. check out work around the lake pipes

 

here's some recent shots

 

I didn't mention that the truck and the '51 came out of the Drag'n shop as well

 

Yes,that Chevy is great too.Here's another one for ya...

 

And what think you guys 'bout this one ? The car is from Japan and I also dig it.Of course it's "completely" different compared to the Valencia Chevy.

thats an understatment ,,,joe epstein is like the vern tardel of the vintage lowrider/bomb community

 

Wow,


wow. . . . wow!

it's great to see a few cars from one buiulder and see a consistent style. all off that molding around the rear bumpers and the continental "bumps" on some of those cars are really great. keep the photos coming.

 

Woh some great photos.. When I see cars like that it give me a push to get mine finished , but it will never be that nice.Then it starts to give me more ideas .

 

I believe this Merc is part of this gang too.I got many pics and these cars park together and drive together as you can see from this pic.





I didn't know the green '51Chevy (shown above) is also from this shop.Thanks !
Will post a front shot of it later.

 

Here's a pic of Dennis McPhail's Chevy.Definitely beautiful !
I especially like the Shoebox Ford tail-lights and sheetmetal,and those exhaust pipes.Of course,the chop looks good too...

 

Joe Epestein doe some good work and fair priced and you we always find a few cool looking rides at his shop. Frank offered to sell me this car about 4 years ago. didn't look the way it does now i just didn't have the cash. he mentioned someone from the Auto Butchers c.c was buiding it. i like the club name really cool.

a better angle to see the front.

Yes,all those "small" details make these sleds very special.Here's another pic of the Kaiser.The metal almost looks fluidly...



I really admire this kind of work.

Epstein is a fucking Legend,,, no doubt about it. That guy knows so much about cars and who owns which car and how many have been through his shop. I always dig driving by cause there's always rides around. I remember when Frank was selling the '51 pre chop. I took my '51 to get piped and wanted that one instead. That ride has been a favorite since then.

 

i've heard of them before (the DragN shop) but seeing their work is impressive. nice lookin stuff. i love the Kaiser, it is waaay different than your typical kustom cars. there are many details on al of their cars posted here that have given me some ideas of my own. great inperation.
