Features 1986 Kkoa leadsled spectacular Springfield Missouri

Last time I saw it was a year or 2 back. It's all black primer with a few spots of that cool green paint.

 

He got rear ended really hard outside a fairgrounds show somewhere. Fixed the car but sprayed it in black primer and left the green as flames from the front. It was a clever way to blend thr repair without a repaint.
It has been that way for 10-15 years.

 

Here it is at the HAMB Drags 2008. That's when I met Dad. Really nice guy...

 

What a super blast from the past, thanx for sharing these sweet customs!

 

Found another one.

 

Was this there?

 

Hoods are suppose to be shut on Kustoms. It messes with the flow of the car.

 

Liked this 60`s style build. Sadly it was updated to a modern build(purple) with big wheels. Can someone bump the 82 Des Moines thread along with the 87 show as well.

 

Why didn't I go to this one? I guess life got in the way, work, college, family and just being out of touch with the kool people. Thanks guys for posting all of the pictures. So kool to look back at all of the Kustoms.

 

Here is a 51 Vicky with a straight 6 out of a Chevy. Called Little Town Flirt. He had Barbie dolls displayed around it. Look closely at the package tray. You never criticize any body or their car. This was Ray and Myrna Bozart`s car. Before the Buick that won the Harry Bradley Award. . He bought another Vicky a few (3 or 4) years ago.

 

I came across these today. I believe this is from the 86 Show.

 

The 80s were better..........E

 

That's Dick Schultz's 51 he still has it!!!
Drove it to a cruise night last month!

I know that guy! When I first moved to Joplin (1996) he was always at the cruises. As far as I know he still has the car, but I haven't spoken to him for a couple years. Give me a second and I will post some photos. It's a 4-door that he turned into a roadster. (Lift-off fiberglass top.)

 

Ah, dang it, I do not have the photos anymore! I photographed his car in 1996 or '97 for an article I was working know at the time and a year or two ago I sent all the prints from back then to Rikster.
Still have the slides, but that doesn't do much good.
Who'da thought I'd suddenly have a use for them after all these years?

 

This was the one everybody else was talking about that was at that show. From Illinois.

 

It’s properly pronounced “Fiddy”.

 

Dave Conrad’s Chevy. My Dads black 48’ Ford in the background.

 

I wonder what ever happened to that little Chev. The last I heard, someone saw it after I sold it. It had a Tasmanian Devil on the trunk and Woody Woodpeckers on the front fenders.

 

Sad...

 

You ever find the pics of the 1987 show in Springfield, IL? I would love to see them

I remember my Dad telling me the story of your Chevy after you sold it. His buddy Jim Korte is the one who bought it and had the Tasmanian Devil painted on the truck, apparently he had that put on there after a long day of drinking and regretted it the next day!

 

Yes, he introduced himself as BIG JIM. HAHAHA! I also hear he put narrow white walls on it too. on it.
