Damn right! - inspirational stuff!

 

Wonderful!

 

This thing is great. Seems like every Coachcraft car I've seen started as a '40 Ford. Did they ever start with any oddball cars?

 

Is that your grandfather RnC? Sure looks like a Hoodlum to me!
Great to see that the car still looks the same today.

 

Oh gawd.I love this stuff!!!!!!

 

Yes, that was my grandfather. He sure does look like a hoodlum.

 

cool thread. heres some pics of jack calori's awsome 36 3 window from my calori pictures collection. one of the top 40 customs ever. billy

 

Here's a few good ones!

 

You got that right, cant forget about Gils 40. It sure does seem like a lot of people forget about them guys. They also had that very smooth 41 ford that gave the Jesse Lopez 41 all he wanted or maybe even a lil more then he wanted,it was just such a smooth car.

 

soooo......Django - you lookin to start some custom touches to one of your '36's?

 

back to the top for anyone who hasnt seen these awesome photos.

 

somebody has to have a picture of Earl Bruce's coupe?

 

I really like this 47 merc! Barris built for Cliff Rockohn. More pics on Riks site.

 

Shit, I'll try again!
