Features The Definitive "MILD CUSTOM" Photo Thread....

40studedude, i love your caddy but id call it mild ,mainly because you can still tell what it started out as

i dont think you get into full custom until major things have been changed I.E chopped ,sectioned , channeled things modified that cant be unbolted and changed back with stock parts

i prefer mild customs

i hope this thread doesnt ever stop

 

Thanx, but I'm almost positive a chop, a section or a channel would put a car in the "Radical" category...any major body mod would put the car in that class...at one time, in the past cuz I've forgotten the ISCA rules, a certain number of mods would place a car in the "Mild" class, a few more would put a car in the "Full" class, and any major body mods would place it in a the "Radical" class. Someone here has to have an ISCA rulebook from years ago...

Yep, I agree, this thread is so very cool...most of us that grew up in the 50's/'60's could associate with a mild kustom cuz in the Midwest states, mild "kustoms" ruled and that's what most of us drove, before muscle cars took over.

Here is my old 53 now residing in Fla. I do miss this car.

 

Ya! Right on!

 

This thread is awesome!

 

Nice Plymouth, wish I had time for mine.

 

Is this Plymouth a stock color combo ?

 

I never get tired of looking at your panal Kripfink!! Love that flake!

 

Cant stand the pre-65 only shows. Here's my 68 New Yorker. It's pretty mild.

 

Roger, although I don't believe anybody is categorizing the cars strictly by ISCA rules, this is the ISCA classes:

Conservative - 0-3 body modifications

Mild - 4-6 body modifications

Semi - 7-10 body modifications

Full - over 10 body modifications

Radical - Any number of body modifications at least one of which is Chopping, Channeling or Sectioning.

Thank you LMick...I knew someone would have the ISCA list of classifications...

And yes, you are correct, no one (least of all -me) is categorizing any of the cars in this thread by those mods...but it interesting to note exactly how ISCA classified customs...and at one time, ISCA used to be the biblef or all car shows...

Cant say I blame you looks nice!

 

Nice!!!!!

 

Whitedevelscc you have got yourself a real head turner there. I love the look of that car!

 

Beautiful car, but you know it is not mild, plenty of other places to post it, so please fellas, lets leave this thread to MILD customs
No offence meant. Much the same for you Roger old mate.

i LOVE ME SOME "kRIPPLE KART"

 

Thanks I really appreciate it

Yes they are stock colors from what I have found and the maroon is called Mexican red

Thank you

 

Man, you read my mind. Even the color is out of the ordinary, but so perfect for the car. Getting rid of the 56 side trim makes the car look so much sleeker.

Thanks to Centurion9, and all the posters, for this thread! After lurking around here for years, I think I've finally found a home. Can't post yet, but plan to be in this club soon...

 

Welcome to the HAMB!

 

My 63 Capri belongs on this thread.

 

I dig the 56 Vic...

 

Mild Custom in the works. More work in the future includes: front bumper mods, shaved door handles, and possibly changing the rear bumper.

This thread is awesome!

 

They come in all shapes, Sizes, Years, and Flavors.......

 

I think you should shave the side trim....and send it to me of course.
cool car btw.
