    My taste has changed over the years but I use to really love this chopped Chevy. I'd add some chrome bumpers and it would still be kool to own it.

    BTW, Some here may not know Junior's legacy. Here's a quote, from 1993...
    "(Conway)...works at least 12 hours a day, six days a week; in a year he paints no more than five cars.
    Conway doesn't advertise, but everyone knows where to find him, including the timber baron from Thailand who spent more than $400,000 in taxes and shipping alone for the privilege of getting his Rolls Juniorized, which cost him another $200,000."
    That's $200,000...for a paint job!
    No one else compares!

    Are there only 6 of us regularly reading this thread?
    I have noticed the photos I "like" are almost always "liked" by 5 other people. Are we the last six diehard kustom fans on the HAMB??

  15. I look everyday as well and I will comment or like stuff that I find extra special but don't like every post.
     
  16. I check in often, but I'm kind of stingy with my likes.
     
  17. I just found this thread lately, but it"s one of the best on the HAMB! So much creativity and talent showcased in these cars. No paint by numbers or 1-800 builds.
    I "like" many of the posts for their content, but also to encourage folks to keep on posting!

    Wondered bout that also. My thinkin is that the site doesn’t record every “like”, but only the first 5/6.

    Jim, you never cease to amaze me with your photos and your memory of this Kustom hobby. Incredible! I’m looking forward to the CCR2020, hope to see you there! —-Lou

    They ^^^ put music notes where the speakers are. The previous owner(Dave) sold the Merc to them in an unfinished state. Before Kim and Nancy car was finished, Dave`s Merc burned up in a house fire. The Music notes are identical to the one`s in Dave`s. Scan0120.jpg Scan0089.jpg Scan0115.jpg

    Here’s a quick sketch I did last night of a possible route I may take on my upcoming project. This is with a mercury front clip. Kinda convertible Merc-Camino

    A year ago I was getting kind of discouraged with the same thing. Last summer I talked to a lot of guys that watch the thread weekly and don't do the "Like" thing. It was good to hear but if its only five of us watching, I'm fine with that.
    Thanks guys for adding all of the kool Kustom pics.
