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

And a couple more.

 

Anybody know if McPhail's old fairlane got fixed (got side swiped)? I wanted to buy it when he was trying to sell it in the classifieds here a few years back. Always loved that car

 

It did. The update was in this post: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ne-wrecked-totaled.649986/page-8#post-9453383

 

@Sancho thanks for the link. I knew the work had started, but never saw it done or in any event coverage. That explains both.

 

Found a few more kustoms I like...Bob Davis out of Indy owns this fine Chev...

"Ray" from ColoRODo Springs owns this fine sectioned Chev...haven't seen Ray on the HAMB for a few years, anyone know if he's still around...???


Dick Kroeber's fine fastback, he calls Bartlesville, OK home but prolly most of you know him for his Maroon Model A with the early Caddy engine...


And as long as I'm posting Chevys, the chopped hardtop shown below belongs to Cliff Addenbrook of Lakewood, ColoRODo...

So, that's it for this go-round...Long live Kustoms...!!!

Thanks for all the great shots. Enjoy seeing it all. Everyone has a keen eye. Keep them coming......

 

Hey Mick, it's been a month since you started this thread, have your "Kustom Blues" been satiated by now...??? I hope so, but just in case, here's a few more from my archives...

My friend, Greg Davis of Hiawatha, Kansas, owns this radical Buick with Cadillac engine...


And a genuine "Barris" kustom now living in ColoRODo Springs...


Definitely a 'kustom,' but of the trailer variety...note the taillights. This man knows what he likes and is not afraid to show it off...!!!

Roger, this thread has been the cure for my Kustom Blues. I didn't want to say anything because I want guys to still post the pics... Lot of kool kustom pictures.

 

OK then...thanx Mick...but rest assured, guys that like kustoms will STILL post on this thread...me included...!!!

'46 Aerosedan 'sled'...door handles were removed, headlites frenched, rocker trim removed, rear fenders molded to the body but the hood emblem stayed...


Nice Olds convert...


And last, Greg Pitmans's Chrysler in its "old" paint...!!! The car is now purple but I think it looked a lot better in the color R-E-D...

40StudeDude, is Greg the one who built that awesome Buick?
I saw it at a show in Oklahoma (Monkey Island??) years ago, when it had just appeared in Rod & Custom (I think? Could have been Custom Rodder?)
Amazing work. Probably my all-time favorite "new style" custom. And he didn't yell at me when I leaned close to look at it, which I appreciated.

 

here's some from our Route66 trip.............

 

The Harold Olsen Buick is another one that I have liked since before I could drive. I still have that issue of Classic & Custom somewhere.

 

Here's a couple more Texas kustoms to keep this thing going.

 

Here are some from Santa Maria 2010 I think. I am terrible with dates.

 

a few more
Got to include a picture of George

 

Here are some I took at the Spectacular in Salina. Not sure of the year but within the last 3 or 4.

 

I love Pitmans's Chrysler, I didn't know that he changed the color. Any pics of the new purple paint?

 

Ryno's Caddy.........................

 

IF you are talking about the Copper Colored '49 Fastback in post #148 , then No, it was not Greg Pittman that built it - Jim Smith is the owner builder and the car has been done for several years...I'm just not aware if it appeared in R & C or Custom Rodder altho it's possible...the Buick is gorgeous.

And Mick, I have no current pix of Pittman's Purple Chrysler...
