Features Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms....

Kool example why we build kustoms.

 

This car was recently in Cornelius, Oregon near me in a big car collection. Recently sold though. Here is what it looked like when toured the collection a couple years ago.

 

Chopped and some other body mods done by the late great Bill Hines. Bummed I didn't get any pics of it there. Do have pics of it in primer from years ago.

 

I didn't have any info about the Kustom. That is kool that it was built by Bill Hines. Thank you for adding the background info. Like to see primer pics...

 

Only pic I have, thought I had more.

 

Does it still have doubled-up pipes? Hard to tell in the later photos of it down in the grass but it looks like only a single pipe.

 

Yeah. Bottom one is buried in the grass.

 

Looks like someone either maintained it well or gave it a sympathetic restoration.

I think it had been restored at some point. I know the owners of the collection had gone through the mechanical's of the car. The paint was in decent shape and looked good. The interior was older, would say done in the 80s or 90s

 

Say @straykat, any updates on the restoration of Dave Stuckeys ‘40?

Good question, I was wondering the same thing. I know they got it running and driving but was told the guys was just going to use it for a driver. Last I saw it was still in primer. I'll see if I can find an update.
