Customs The cars...that ate my brain today!

Ok, I'm giving in.... I have to start a thread.

I have gotten zero work done today. It is now noon and I must go into the garage. I have looked for a picture all day, I own the book that has this picture in it, but I can't find it. Searched the web, the Hamb, etc., no can find.

The pic is of a super cute girl, with a severly pointed braziere on... standing next too Dutch's crab claw Mercedes, or Dean "the Kid" Jefferies shoebox. Black and white, seaweed flames, crab claw, coming from the bottom of the car. Can't remember which car it is, or if I have a combo of both images in my mind. Please help!

Also like to see any pics of 55 or 56 T-birds customized, Vettes, Mercedes, odd ball stuff.

I'm clearing out some hot rods and need to make room for a daily driver. Really need something I can tow with, carry a 4 x 8 sheet of wood for sign painting, or parts haul with. But I know of a little 56 T bird for sale in a town near me...been sitting but maintained for along time, great condition. I keep picturing a little ugly flame job on it. My brother in law just got a van, so I may not need to get a hauler, and this T-bird is cheap for what it is.

Thanks for any help! Gott go work on my car now... well as soon as you guys find some pics, hahaaaa.

Yeah man...too the rescue! I was way off... It was the dame I was imagining with all three of those cars... man, life is good in my head.

Ahhh, right on guys, needed these pics for my mind hump on this little T-bird. Will keep you posted if she solidifies...

Feel free to post some more tasty customs or milds... we got the flare correct. I like em black and white too.

 

Would it be a crime to molest a little bird? Na

Ya, know what...think I got pictures some where, been years since I've even seen the car. I know she still sits

 

Man, thanks Slim... thanks everybody.

 

I own that book!

 

Here you go, long bed fleetside, plenty of room for full sheets of plywood. 350/powerglide and 3.73 for "towing" or stop light to stop light showing off.

NJ isn't that far. Come on down. Just be sure to be back up North before sunset. I can't be responsible for what happens to yankees after dark.

sorry about the music on the link...

 

Those 50's bras remind me of a '56 Buick bumper

 

Headlights and tail lights are cool too.
