Customs The Hottest Kustoms Lately...

Mild '55.

 

HEY!!!! I know that car!!!!!
When does Fernando plan on painting it?

 

1953 Buick. I am the second owner. Just finished in March 08.
80 % of the work was done in backyard garges . Showed at Good Guys Pleasanton and Del Mar.

 

HEY FONZI, do you like this one???????????

 

Billy Gibbons Kopperhead... Didn't someone else do a very similar car in midnight blue?
That orange coupe above is cool but I am a sucker for a nice orange so what do I know

 

Really nice ride

 

i just spent like an hour looking at this thread. i love this thread

 

Cool Post, Here one of mine, I first restored this 57 chev, and then thought what was a thinking, so in a weekend a friend of mine helped me done this

Very nice! Please show us more!

 

Their was another one in Custom Rodder Magazine a few years back that was a green or blue. It was nice but the proportions of the Copperhead was better. The picture that you posted looks like it is chopped more then Billy's.

Like to see more pictures if you have any.

Happy Trails,

Mick

Looks fucking kool ! I dig your ride Paul !

 

I haven't seen that Custom Rodder one. Did you check these project pictures:
http://www.pohjalaisia.com/firma/ala...ord-coupe-1950

I know the owner/builder and he just did the bodywork and rest of the car based on magazine articles and this picture:

 

I remember it, it was a very dark green, with light green interior. youre right, it was nice, but didn't quite have the flow of kopperhead. (sorry cant remember the year, probably somewhere around 96-97ish)

 

I would like to see more of this one.. It gets my vote.

 

My Buick that was just finished last month

 

Very nice - the wheels are spot on.

 

I second(and third.....) this!..........I need to see the build pics of this one, it's blown me away!

 

That car REALLY needs a pie cut taken out of the trunk!

 

Very nice, I really like the taillight treatment. And the color is just outstanding.

 

Out here we call that a ghetto booty.........

 

A buddy of mine owned it for awhile and he sold it last fall at the KC Goodguys to someone up in the KC area. Got pretty good money for it too! The original chop was done by a guy here locally (kinda crude) and Russel (the guy who bought it) finished it to what you see here. The interior is black & white tuck and roll. Had a generic small block with all the comforts (a/c, p/s, p/b) and on air bags (obviously). If he kept it, the trunk was going to be dealt with supposidly.

 

Hey gonmad, can you talk to your buddy and Russel and see if can get as many pics of the '49 and post them on here?

I've decided that this is the one i'm gonna use as the model to chop mine.

Cheers

 

gettin there on mine kinda of an old pic but o well

 

I will try to, but I don't think they take many pics!

 

Correctomundo. EVERYthing done to that Merc was done in lead. Very very nice work
