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

I would love to clone this '36 Sedan or the rag top...

 

Mick - here is a 36 coupe to go with both of them - from the Hot Rod (and in this case Ksutom) Hill Climb in Georgetown, CO this last Saturday. I would love to see orbetter yet own that ragtop.

 

Wasn't it in one of Pat Ganahl's Lost Hot Rod books or something also showing it unchanged? I half thought I had seen something about it recently in print that is is still just as it was....which I think is cool.

 

The drop-top shoebox is gorgeous!

 

My first Custom, just nosed and decked at this point. Later it got a 60 Olds grille insert between the stock parking lights and 61 comet tail lights laid in place of the 3 round lights. 57 Plymouth hubcaps topped it off. I was 17 when I bought this car in 1963. I will look for pictures of the final version.

 

One of the Starbird kustoms that I would like to own. I flipped out when I saw this years ago at the Starbird show.

 

Well, now this makes me kinda sad that I am giving up my Fleetlines for the new Grapevine-ish sedan. There is just something about that Fleetline shape...yummy!

 

Early Studebaker "Bourke" C-body coupe converted El Camino style. Note the antennae pods in the roof and the early 60s Caddy taillights.

 

More pics of that Stude, that thing looks crazy

 

Is this the one that used to sit outside of duncan Oklahoma? sure looks like it.

 

That is the one.

 

glad to see it got saved! Awesome.

 

now, go save the kustom kaiser in Dwyers junkyard, in Witchita falls! LOL!

 

Pictures of the Kaiser, please!

 

man, I wish I had em. I took a few, but my Ex wife has everything I had back then.

 

Here's a real nicely done 56 Merc. Called MERCHERO It was at the 35th KKOA in Salina.

 

A few from when I rolled into the Sleds Midwest show in Branson yesterday. Saw Jack Walker's Hirohata clone in the parking lot last night, so got some good cars to study today.

Shameless plug

 

Get that A/C in yet, Dr. Dave...??? Or is it not hot around there...???

R-

 

Lol...not yet Roger. It's been plenty hot, but the last week has cooled off a bit (funny to call 90 cool LOL). Been collecting parts....got the brackets and working out what I'm going to do for vents that look half decent. I think I've come up with something cool, but am still working out the details of them

this was a drawf 54 chevy that was at the KKOA 35th it was completely hand built.

 

our 50 slowly getting a makeover..............
