History The Kustomrama Survivor Truck - 1955 Ford by Barris & Dick Richardson

Firstly, what a great story and incredible find by someone who appreciates what they now have. Looking forward to hearing more.

I second that!!

 

Clean it & preserve as is

 

I think we have a winner for the "what have you found in your old car?" thread.

 

Me and my friend Alex from school are doing yardwork today..

Can't wait for more!

 

"Kustom karma"

This thread made my day/month/year.
Like everyone has said it sure went to the right person. The only way this could get better is if they find your Wagon and it's restored haha.

If you find more pics of his bike please post them!! I'm building something similar.

That would be the dot over the i if the wagon surfaced on top of it all!



Currently I'm searching for a 3x2 manifold to smallblock Chevy for a reasonable price. Preferable with carbs!



Photos you ask for, photos you'll get

 

Man that Triumph is awesome. What ever happened to it?

The little Honda is pretty cool too. You meet the nicest people on those.

 

that bike is awesome, did he say where it ended up?

it's probably in his shed with the Von Dutch paint still on it...lol

 

Oh man. Nice!
Would be cool to find the bike too!

This is what I'm building. My dad bought it in '69 as a basket case. I just found a set of those pipes. It took over 10 years!

For some reason the phone ap isn't letting me post a picture. I so it tomorrow from the desktop. .

Deleted my post. I didn't mean to hijack a very cool thread. I don't want to ruin this one. Apologies.

 

Man, greatest thread on here in a long, long time.

 

No work this weekend! On the Greyhound bus going to viva las vegas! The chassis is as good as done now. Dropping the engine in when i get the mounts.

I think all you West Coast Hamb'rs should be ashamed !!!!! No one offered Olav a ride
to Vegas in their car....he has to take the freekin BUS ?????????

 

Amen to that. Just shameful...

 

I must have missed where he said he wanted to go but needed a ride

 

Don't worry guys, Greyhound was nice. Me and Alex listened to country music and ate sandwiches. But if someone out there could give us a ride to LA tomorrow, it would be highly aporeciated!!

Have you checked the social groups?

 

Is there anyone out there going from Las Vegas to LA today?

I'm sure some cool cat will offer a ride... I wish I was going west but went eastbound!

I was blown away by how nice everyone was at the show. I had never been to VLV before but will try to go back for sure!!!

 

...sorry to interupt. I do hope you find your way today!

I just read this thread...



...and I am WITHOUT WORDS!! I mean to say in some way AWESOME!!

congrats Kvipt ...this is very very nice... Thanks for sharing, and thanks to George for keeping a lid on the treasure all these years

 

Olav,
wow and Charley Sheen thought he was "winning" you trumped him!!!

 

seriously though you better put a GPS on that baby and get a hell of a security system on the shop. Also I would'nt reccomend advertising when you will be away such as in VLV this weekend. It sucks to have to be paranoid that way but people use social media to help them commit crimes like this all the time. This is like leaving the louvre unlocked as your truck is a valuable piece of ART

and as far as I know we still can't shoot people for those kind of crimes.

 

This is amazing!

 

Awesome thread, thanks for taking the time to document as you go.
