do you have a favorite john d agostino and richard zocchi car....

It varies. Craig willits, Bob Devine, Jerry Sahagon to name a few.

 

jerry sahagon p***ed away in 2006

 

That's to bad. I don't think they have used him lately but I think he did John's Royal Emperor and his Imperial Royale.

 

Beautiful...where's this one been? Lets see more of it.

 

A few more... ex four door

 

Yeah thats a locals merc, I think his names Adiran Perris or something - his on the HAMB.

 

Adrian Perry is the name and yes,he's from down under...

 

Ahhh nice bit of champagne comedy there Frenz! Funny how no one here really refers to Australia as "down under"

 

(Hey Metalflake Man...what's up ? You've got blisters on your finger tips ??)

 

ya < I dont love the color, on the 56 I wanted to paint it a drak candy green with a lite tan carson top,but john wanted pink-------------later oz

 

Man I just looked through all of those pages and I only saw a couple pictures of the Cad Star. Does anyone have any more?

 

Wow same amazing cars here!!

 

free jav....

 

Did he got banned from hamb for lifetime or couple/more years? Or what happened?

 

You guys have thrown up a few on here I wasn't aware of....I thought I knew them all.

I gotta go with D'Agastino's '68 Eldo. It's the cleanest, most tasteful of the whole lot. Start with a really good looking car and then make it better.

Here's a '68 Eldo I chopped and sectioned on Photoshop.

 

I REEEALLY hate to stoke the drama fires, but I'm curious also. He had one of my favorite Mercs of all time, kinda wondered where he went..

-Abone.

 

is John a member here on the Hamb?
if he is I would like to ask him if he built this one?

 

How about some shots of Zocchi's 56 Dodge?

 

His newest '39 Dodge......

 

This one blows my damn skirt up... I get all warm and fuzzy whenever i get near it...

 

Dont know if John is a member or is he lurks here from time to time.
But I do know that '56 Lincoln was his.
Bill Reasoner did most of the building on it. Gene Winfield of co**** did the paint job.

Here is the car before it was chopped, but it already had some body work done including the rear fenders,





Later the car was sold and went to the East Coast.

It got sold again.. possebly more times and now its somewhere in a Museum I believe.
It has been repainted in Orange fades... but I have not seen the finished car. So if anybody has some photos of it finished in the new orange fade... please post them here.

Stripped...




removed Winfield fade paintjob...











I think I like the original Purple fade better.. but I have to see the finished car to be sure.

 

I was very impressed with Joh's 58 Oldsmobile designed and built by OZ Kustoms.... very nice!!!

 

I spent a good hour drooling over this at Sac....stunning car

 

wow truly inspirational post!!! I have seen that merc at garlits many times and never knew it was the "Green Flame" also zocchi and D'agostino true creative heros of mine. I have got to get to work on my car thanks to all you guys and your pics....thanks again

 

nope not new . that thing was done YEARS ago . but still a *****in car .

 

Hey, What happened to Javier...??? His absence is noted... Anyone know...???

R-

 

got banned . but for the life of me i cannot remember why . i do remember him making a lot of ''random useless '' posts that pissed certain people off .

 

Thanx L n S, he did that for sure...

I hadn't read this thread for a while, but man, there's a lot of kool kustoms here since the last time I visited it...maybe someday, one of mine will be on here...!!!

Oh, BTW, here's a link to my latest "kustom" build: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=329070&highlight=the+best+55+caddy+build

He was a tool who thought his randomness was intellect...

He did have a p***ion for Customs... But man was he annoying.

I thought he was Jesse James trying to be funny...
