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

Royboy caught me driving around last weekend. I like my Wichita rake.

 

Yeah it will be interesting to see if he can pull it off without it looking like a bunch of pieces stuck together but if it works it will be super cool.

 

I'm digging that one (love the later Merc (EDIT: LINCOLN) wheel-well!) AND the Buick in the post that followed.
Great group of pics all around!

 

I believe the wheelwells are 58 Lincoln.

 

Doh!
Post edited.

 

Actually the man that I was building it for and with died about 3 years ago, truck was sold to a man in Portland, have no idea where it is now.

 

Color brings brilliance, but quality and content is what I like. Thanks for the neat post Terry.

Beautiful.

 

Before...

 

I am really digging the canted headlights but I have my worries about the wheel coves looking out of place/disproportionate to the rest of the car given the behemoth they came off of but a big thumbs up for trying something different.

 

I'd save that one...might be a fun one...

R-

 

What’s the story on this Buick. Looks like a pretty nice build. Any history?

These are some random shots from various magazines I was going through doing research on a car that I just was told about....

This is the car that I'm trying to find any history on.....it's being offered to my brother and he's asking my opinion on it ....only info he has so far is that it was found in a shed/barn in Oklahoma...these are the only pictures I have so far we are supposed to be going to see it in person in the next couple of days... I was trying to figure out what exactly has been done to it besides the obvious the rear section and how high it sits is hard to figure with out some more pictures or to actually see it in person...it's kind of a mix between a hot rod and custom I guess....if any one has any info about the car I would like to hear from you.... thanks

While attending the 1986 Michigan Hot Rod****ociation picnic I came across this Barris custom. A few years later I saw it in a hot rod magazine in the Henry Ford Museum. Anyone have an more info on this one?
