Customs The Hottest Kustoms Lately...

holy shit thats a nice shoebox interior? which shoebox is this have an outside picture?sure is a lot of chrome, not sure i would want a whole chrome dash, but i sure do want a chrome column some day!

 

Got to add ours,

 

It's the super cool Shoebox Ford built by the Drag-N-Shop which started this post.

 

Gary Howard and Jimmie Vaughan certainly built one of the hottest lately.I love that car,absolutely gorgeous.



Once more a pic of the Pratt Ford.Only wrong part on this beautiful Ford is the new license plates.Would look so bitchin' with old Cali plates...



Rusk,let's see & hear more about your buddy's Merc please !

 

That Drag-N-Shop Ford has the coolest (hottest?) interior ever. I love it.

 

How do you drive it without being blinded?

 

53 buick

 

Rechrome the bumpers, and change the wheels, and it could be a real winner.

 

Love all these bad ass kustoms!!
I am a little partial to the Caddy Westergard car I got to work on...but wait till you see what we are working on now for a very good client from Cali....its a Buick...set to be done early 09.....

 

Does anyone know whose '54 this is or have any additional pictures?

Thank you.

Ol Blue

 

ive seen this buick its sittin at a car sales place about 30 miles away its pretty cool looking was bought at Barret Jackson for 145k or some thing like that. i wouldnt give that much for it its not that good of a car it looks like its been around a little while id i got pics of it some where

 

the owner from that car is from Montebello CA. or at least is used to be. i haven't seen it around in a few years but that thing is SUPER nice!!!! i used to have a picture or 2 of it on my old computer...i'll look around to see if i still have it.

 

Amazing cars.............24 pages so far, and only one REAL pooch!

 

It's chopped.

 

Here's my '49 Kustom

 

1940

 

My favorite custom right now. Thanks Mr. Foster

 

I'm not sure if I posted this pic already, but 24 pages later, I doubt anyone will notice....



It belongs to my friend Brent from the Drag Lynx here in Sacramento.

If my memory serves me correctly, here's the lineup: stock '54 Merc trim, shortened and moved back, extended hood scoop with '53 Merc spears, tunneled head-lights with stock rings, nosed and decked, shaved door handles, and Merc caps with added bullets. It has cut coils in the front, 3" blocks with a leaf removed in the rear. Brent has a bunch of other mods planned for this car before the paint gets laid down, but I won't spoil those

Attached are some close-up shots of the chop...I can't remember the exact dimensions, but I can find out if anyone's interested. I wish I had better pics of the work around the B and C pillars as well as the garnish moldings, the detail work is amazing. The backlite is shoebox surrounded by superb metal finishing performed by Paul Garland.

Thanks much Bryan ! It's a verv classy car,can't wait to see it finished. I'm especially glad Brent also supports L.A.B.That's what makes the Merc so appealing and gives that timeless look.

 

A 49 chevy I am building for a man in Marina Delray, CA.

 

A very nice suprize at this years Sema show was Rick Dore's latest customs. A 1936 Ford roadster with invluences from European and US Coachbuilding, as well as the early Westergard style.

I feel its a bit to modernized in some erea's but if you can look past those and focus on the extended and reshaped hood, extended fenders – I love the look of the long front fenders – and removal of the stock running boards. You should really appreciate this custom.

And a quick photoshop...

 

bitchin chevy any more pics?

 

Good job Rikster, those 'JC Whitney' hubcap looking wheels ruined that thing. Still though, It just doesn't do it for me, the '36 has become the new '50 Merc, it seems.

 

Brownsmetal,
Thanks for the teaser! Show us more and tell us about the project, please.

Thanks
Alden

I have been following this thread and there are some mighty fine customs here.
Here are a few pics I took of a Merc in 2001. I don't know anything about who owns it and I don't think I ever saw it again but it did leave an impression.
