Can you show us more of your Chevy, Dave?

Found these kool pics from Kustomrama web site....... Thanks to Johnnie Overbay, owner of Reno Rod and Custom, some never before published photos of the Krimson Kart has surfaced. These photos were taken in the mid 1960s, just before Emory Ashpaugh sold it. When the photos were taken, the rear wheel openings had just been opened up, and the side spears had been shaved. Current owner Cody Burghdorf is currently restoring the old Oklahoma City custom back to how it once appeared

 

Thought it would be fitting to show these in progress shots, also from Kustomrama:




Here is what it looked like when Cody got it:

 

I might be out of line, not knowing the history of this car, but find it odd, that the pictures from the mid 1960's, show the rear wheelwells opened up, and the later (I assume) field car show a stock rear opening. So when did that happen? And I wonder why? In any case, cool to see an old kustom in the hands of someone who cares.

 

Some pictures of my shoebox on her last ride of the season before the snow came to Sweden.

Hepcat,

Tasteful shoebox! I really like the grill, are they pieces from a 52 mercury?

 

1952 Ford, I think.

 

Love the front end treatment. Very kool!

The car passed through a few hands after it was sold in the 60's , one of the past owners put on stock lower quarters and returned the wheel wells to stock, they brazed them on and sunk the quarters in about a inch. The car now has new quarters and I'm trying to convince Cody to open the wheel wells back up.

 

Thanks! It is as Sancho said, pieces of a 52 Ford grille welded together. All the other mods on the car is FoMoCo only. Kind of a factory custom project you could say.

 

The shoebox is sweet! Enough changes to show the TLC but pretty conservative. Nicely done.

 

borrowed these pictures from John Tretten (aka Paso John)

 

Looks like a picture taken recently. I haven`t seen that car in years.

 

I'm liking this one more all the time!

Period perfect! Right from the little pages "Reader's Rides".
I love it!
