Killer Krop of Kustoms, 54delray!
Thanx for posting!

 

Thanks 'Mo. No time like the present to get up to speed. Like my taste in cars is old school traditional, so is my level of technology use. Earlier this year I went through my many shoeboxes full of envelopes of photos. I pulled out most anything that was traditional custom (kustom). I plan to scan about 10 or so at a time and post them as time allows. Glad you enjoyed.

Mick, that last batch reminds me of a saying....

Just because you can, don't mean you should! LoL!

 

Careful what you say. One of them was built by the A-Brothers. One was owned buy Mr. Roger Jetter and yet another is owned by Moriarity.

 

Jimmy & Mark is talking about the '55 Chevy with the 280z headlight buckets. My Merc had the same buckets. We all can agree we are glad that they are no longer on the Merc.



Although I kinda miss the spoiler...Lol!

I took *The last batch* as being that last group of picture`s you posted. You have done good with Cowboy Bob`s old Merc. And speaking of Corvairs. A lot of them showed up in the little pages magazines in the 50`s. More than you would think.

 

I'm not sure if I have seen this version of the Charlie Lopez Merc.

 

Wasn't that one built by Bill Ross out of Washington...I see it has Cali plates on it now...

Gonmad, ever see the true story of that copper colored kustom...??? If not, here it is...

I thought that was called a cow-catcher Mick?!? Kinda like the front of a train! LoL!

I think I had seen you (or someone) post that story on the chevy before. KooL car for sure. Mick was right on what I was referring to.

 

It was built in Washington, couldn't find the magazine with the build pictures. I thought it was part of the Buck Owens collection. He had Kool taste.
