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

That is a nice one...you fellas have it quite different down there with premium show weather...the shows never stop...not to mention the populace of material to ogle over...you do capture many, many works of art...thanks for the link...I was having a challenge finding it...

 

Nice & clean...

 

Saw this merc at a car show today. Was actually very well done. And one of those cars that the more times you look at it the more stuff you notice was done to it. Would have loved to talk to the owner but they were nowhere to be found

 

This part ain't so mild.

 

I like this Merc.

 

Thats why there's louvers in the side...

 

Premium Show Weather? I gave up the snow of Lake Arrowhead for the ungodly heat of the Sonoran Desert, you must be writing to Stan.

 

Many times the people behind these masterpieces in both Hotrod, Custom and Race really don't leave any stones unturned...literal showcars...and by that I mean like brand new, perfection...and they drive them too...good on them...I am not cut from that thread but certainly appreciate and understand the why...and powertrains in Customs aren't always given lesser to give more to everywhere else...

 

Oh, I guess you head down to the oasis were the shows are...

Yes, you Hambers have a hugely diverse array of climate and landscape that's for sure...

 

Me either, I had to go back and check!

 

@40ragtopdown posted this one in another thread today…absolute perfection…

Anyone know what the parking lights are that were used on this car?

 

He said he cut up a 1955 Chrysler grille bar to use as parking lights.

 

I must be getting old but am I the only person who is not a fan of cars sitting flat on the ground?........lowered is fine but as I've only been playing with cars since the late 1960's so what would I know............just that lowered was just that.......lowered.....sitting on the ground or layin' frame to me looks like the car has flat tyres...........oh well, I'll get back into my corner & go play with my 1940 Dodge.........yeh, I know I'm from the dark side.......lol....and all those cars are really nice customs, just layin frame?....I think that the lilac Chev was the only one that wasn't......lol............Andy Douglas

 

I agree. This is the way an old style custom should look. In my opinion.

 

Yep.......thats a nice 40's style Custom.....would not look out of place in any pictorial of custom cars, ie Pat Ganahls(RIP) Book "The American Custom Car" comes to mind.....just went & looked thru my copy.......your car would fit in the 1st chapter perfectly.....nice......andyd

 

You always bring great content to this thread @59FORD keep up the good work.

 

I agree, and am not opposed to bags, but am all about the scrub line.
