Folks Of Interest Jeff Myers '57 Eldorado Seville Kustom Story...From Koolsville With Klass !

TO ALL MY FRIENDS HERE AT THE H.A.M.B...



As most of you know, JEFF MYERS is one of the PREMIRE builders & kustomizers in the mid-west. And a few years back he began work on a true kustomizing masterpiece: a '57 Cadillac Eldorado Seville Hardtop !

Most of you on the Board have seen it, or, seen pix of it. BUT many, especially those HAMBERS Overseas, have NEVER heard Jeff tell the story of how he acquired the car, and how it all came together through his extraordinary vision of what he wanted to accomplish... with the end-result being one of the most beautiful Eldorado Seville Kustoms to ever hit the streets ! PLUS, we talk about one of his BIGGEST problems during the Build. (The car was at "Fat Lucky's" getting the Interior done at the time of our Interview.)

I've always loved '57 Eldos, would love to have one, SO, enjoy Jeff's Interview about his: it's in-depth and complete with some very cool "Build Pix" that Jeff sent me, plus many candid pix, AND a surprise appearance Guest Appearance from one of the most famous R&C Artists/Designers: STEVE STANFORD ! To hear Jeff's story, simply click-on the Link below...and you're on your way !

WOW, Thanks jonnie,!!!! I can't even put into words how nice this all makes me feel about my work. It is an honor having people really enjoy all the hard hours, and time spent away from the family while doing all this. Thanks to guys like jonnie for making notes of all this, for everyone to enjoy. The memories will be priceless someday when I'm crippled up and can't do it anymore.

 

A few months back I had the honor of cruising to Dewey with Jeff, Jack, and Travis and I have to say to stare at that car all the way there was spectacular. It truly is a work of art as well as anything else that comes out of his shop. Thanks Jonnie for the interviews and your awesome site.

 

Great Job! Enjoyed it.

thanks for posting.... Had a chance to talk to him at the Grand National roadster show and he is a nice guy to boot!

 

That was a good listen. I'm glad to hear the 1/4 windows were a bitch. Going through that now with Roger's car, LOL.

 

thats a bad ass ride!!!

 

I love that car!

 

Proud to call you my friend JEFF!

Nice thread Johnny!

Jeff " FUCKING " Myers rules!

 

cool

 

100% cool class= Jeff Meyers. He has done work for my buddy hotrodroadster and is truly one of the super talents. Like a lot of us I have had the opportunity to say Hi and shake his hand and he was a natural dude. Anybody that is cool enough to be a Beatnik from Coolsvile is the real deal. ~sololobo~

 

hands down, one of the baddest fuckin' caddy's on the planet!

 

What a laid back nice guy Jeff is. Always enjoy the chance to visit with him when I get a chance. And his cars get driven A LOT!

Congrats on the well deserved recognition buddy.

 

THANKS GUYS, Really means alot..........................

 

Ian, FuManchu, sololobo, surfcaliforniasurf, G V Gordon, autobodyed, tootallokie, 31 Vicky with a hemi , big creep...thankx for logging-on to this !

Jeff deserves all the good things that come his way. As I stated in a previous Post he sent many of the pix on that Page for me to use. He's ALWAYS helpful with anything he's asked about...and that goes for Dennis, Mike, and the rest of the Beatniks and the Koolsville Krew !!

NOTE: Many just coming online for the Weekend can check-out what we're talking about here: http://www.legends.thewwbc.net/gpage37.html

Jeff,

I saw the nominees when I got my copy of "Trendsetter" last week. Congrats to you & Dennis ! You're in very good company: Bo Huff, Keith Dean, and, "Speedy" Bill Smith are in the mix right along with you guys...so the list is one of the best that the KKOA has put together, and it's not easy to get on to begin with !

Great to see some of the younger group learning from the hard work that you've done over the years. Like all good builders, your work stands "the test of time"...cars that look just as good today as when they were first built.

"Fads" come and go; "Class" has no expiration date and lasts forever.

See you in Salina !

PS: This story about your Caddy is one of most viewed on the HOFL Site...must be because of the pic of Stanford & I "stealing" the Seville.
