yblock292 Builds a '51 Ford Kustom!

Lyon hub caps.....car looks great man.

 

That's what I thought, thanks. I bought some 16" Lyons recently but didn't read the whole ad and can't use them as they're for 16" Kelsey Hayes. Someday I'll learn!

Thanks, been following your build, excellent job, beautiful car! Yes they are lyons, couldn't run them on the back due to the skirts, but found the original ford "beauty" rings have about the same shape as the lyons, just without the centers. Rear is baged and normal driving only the edges of the rings show.
Thanks for the comments!
Jack

 

Looks good,nice work man!

 

She was driven for the first time last week, bout 6 miles, but all seemed to work good, still have to finish the stainless around the windows, then she's done! Driving her to Straykat 500 on friday the 3rd, bout 110 miles form my house, should be a good shake down cruise!Chris and the guys (and girls) at Chactic customs did a great job on the car, Hub Harness's chop, Fast Al's interior, tony's glass and many more have been involved in this build!Damn its been fun!

 

Car looks great Jack. Thanks again for selling your old rearend to me, my 49 is back on the road.

 

Great, glad it worked out for ya, gonna make it to Dewey?

 

I'm going to try. That is the perfect place to take my wife for her birthday.

 

I agree, we can celebrate with about 500 of our closest friends!

 

Thanks, bout done!StrayKat 500 will be killer this year, had over 550 cars last year gonna bust that his year, just a really good family reunion every year!

 

It's been awesome watching this build come together!

 

be proud you and your bud,s did a hell of a job car looks great love it just would of love it even more if it more if it had a y-block ha -ha drive the shit out of it enjoy

 

It has been fun with so many great people involved, began with me buying the car minus engine and tranny about 20 years ago, buying my 50 at the round up 8 years ago, selling the 51, buying it back about 2 months later. Taking her to Hub Harness for the chop about 2 years ago, started the frame off in july 2011. Did the chassis then off to Chaotic Customs for body work and paint, Aaron Lawrence ,Fast Al's upholstery in Dewey Oklahoma, Tony at Bairs glass in Winfield ks. for glass, back to Chris at Chaotic Customs to finish up. Been a hell of a ride!

 

Jack. The car is going to knock them dead at Dewey. I think I found a location for the shoot. Get with you this week.

 

How fun, can't wait, thank you so much!

 

nice job dad! its been great watching your vision take shape.

 

Thank you, young son, means a lot to me!

 

Wow! What a stunner Jack! I should have known that was a Hub chop. He does such a great job! And obviously you had a great crew of folk that know what's what. Beautiful! Of course it's been your vision all along also.

 

Very nice build! The car looks great. Would you happen to have a picture of the front with the hood shut? I'm diggin the way you mounted the grill.

 

Oh, By the way, I want my grille back

 

Thanks, will try and get ya one. we cut the grill down to "french" it, then replaced the centers of the stock bullets with regular chrome bullets.

 

Lookin good Jack. I will get to see it in Dewey in a couple of weeks.
Later,
Dick

 

Welcometo the "kustom" side. Gonna be fun running with you.

 

Is that the "dark" side or the "light" side? Plus i don't think the doors will fly open on this one!

 

It's the "dark" side, Only bad asses drive kustoms. Wait, do bad asses use smiley faces?
when they post? I need to quit that......

 

Wait a sekkond...I'm not a "bad ass"...and I drive a kustom...and a rod...where's that place me...???

R-

 

I don't know Roger I'm not one either because I caught this virus...

 

That's not a virus...that's self-inflicted...!!!

R-

 

I guess we just gotta wear different hats, depending on what we drive, and it is self-inflicted! ( with help from others)

 

Looks awesome Jack. Can't wait to see it next week. I have seen pics here and there of it, but somehow never saw the build thread until now. Fantastic job!
