Features T A I L D R A G G E R S..... again...

So long as you are making a Sunbeam mixmaster custom called "Kermit".

 

Another one of Lucille with the Caddy caps and some spots.

 

Man! Lucille has really come a long way! Good job, there, Sir Charles.

 

Were the Caddy caps and spotlights an older look for that car or is that what it looks like now? I love that car with the black steelies and caps

 

Heres mine with a distinct Aussie flavour! chopped,sectioned,with a wedge body channel,LZ rear fenders and dash ect Johnny

 

/\ Really cool - have some more pictures?

 

Aren't they LC rear fenders?

 

Yes Mo! Lincoln zephyr fenders stretched 10 inches to mimic a lincoln rear .When i bought the ute it had very bad rear quarters and was unable to find replacements,so i went looking for alternatives,perfect how the swage line matches the fords front fender that trim is ford on the rear fender.It took two attempts to get a set to Australia after the first set got lost in shipping!Luckily my car club mates found me another set while in the u.s and shipped em over!The rear bumper is made up of two ford bumpers lincoln overriders and wingtips with a chev crossbar! johnny, This car is a work in progress and may still get fadeaway fenders

 

And i fitted a lincoln dash aswell!

 

That is one way cool Ute.

 

It's how she is sitting now, I like the steelies and caps as well. Switch it up every once in a while.

 

MO, i see your point now ,continentals and zephyr fenders i believe were shared at least in 1942 i believe, and i believe they are the same to 1948.?I may be wrong?Johnny

 

Here are just a handful at the best looking taildraggers, when there was no air ride. These kustoms built from late 30's to mid 50's are the best looking ones. No slammed cars, and not every kustom had spider hubcaps, or tri bars like today.

What a great pic! Love that car!

 

I saw this car in the flesh at Greazefest last year, beautiful looking ute!

 

Some more kustoms built the way the should be...

 

BTT!!

 

Built 4 years ago with the late 40s look.

 

A tail dragging custom with blackwall tires and a spare tire carrier on it yet, never in a thousand lifetimes would I think that'd be a good idea, yet there it is, and I gotta say, I like it. Well done, I like to be proven wrong sometimes.

 

Thanks!

 

The look is awesome. Well done!

 

Cool paint job.

 

here mine 35 ford

 

Wow, That is a really great look! Congrats

 

That is stinkin' cool...

 

I THINK SO TOO! :} THANKS

 

Great Ride !

 

From Detroit Autorama this weekend. The white one, although not a taildragger, was an original Pierson Brothers car.

 

Cool

 

Buuuump......!
