Customs kustoms i've owned over the years

i was sitting here reminiscing, and trying to count how many cars i've owned over the years,,,i came up with over seventy,,,here are some pics of some of my favorites...

 

Nice memories and some great cars in there. I came up with about 40 for myself and thought i was addicted. You like them all just like me. Gotta have one of each.

 

Damn!

 

I know you told me about that 56 "Ranchero", Jim ,but this is the first pic I've seen....that thing is *****in' The Caddy 3w was the first thing I saw you do that really slapped my face, and I still like it--very cool, brutha

 

Damn Jim, thats quite a stable ! The white "Ute" is killin it!

 

Hows the one in your avatar coming? Lippy

 

Did that Caddy ever get finished? That one was a personal fave. Also, isn't that black shoebox with the fins on it what would eventually morph into the Telstar? Or is that just another, similar one?

 

Here's my kustoms---enjoy

BILL-----TwoChops

 

Didn't you used to live on the East Coast in the distant past???????

 

yes,,,,,once upon a time...

the caddy was chopped @ chopolds shop...it now resides in europe with a HAMBer.........miss that car....

squablow,,,yes, that pic of the finned shoebox is one of the very early incarnations of the telstar...

 

Jim - y'all doin the Meatheads run this Saturday? I didn't take enough time to talk with ya last weekend, and still haven't made the 12-block trek to see the current in-car-nation of the Telstar... we need to schedule somethin.

I just got my first one and I still need an engine and a transmission, damn...

 

Nice Jim...I think I'm only up to my 8th or 9th...but then again, I'm particular about what I build/own...

On another note, that Caddy is FINE!

 

nice group... particularly like that 1st pic... always loved that look

 

Jim Did u ever finish the Telstar? Luv to see pics.I finished the galaxie.

 

Wow man thats a lot of customs for one man. I like that Caddy. Looks like mine kind of.

 

Saw the pickup for sale at car show in Florida last year
BILL

 

hey bill,,,do you remember the price by any chance?

 

Dang it son, it still kills me that you sent this one down the road. It was just SO friggen right!

 

it's probably the one i miss the most,,,,,

 

wish i looked at the merc conv before you sold it

 

You would be KING pimpin around Austin in that beauty!


Ok, I'll stop rubbing it in

 

That black shoebox with flames was yours?
I've seen it in here Finland.I dont know who owns it at the moment,but i bought a 8ba from the previous owner few yrs ago.

 

yes,,,that would be it....sold it to a hamber in finland 6-7 years ago...i heard he put the side gl*** in.....how's it lookin nowadays?

 

if you would have looked at it, you WOULD have bought it...the thing that ****s the most is that i hammered on the guy that owned it for almost 20 years, until he finally gave in and sold it...after all that, i ran into some money problems and had to sell her,,went to a guy in louisiana that planned to "streetrod" it,,,,hopefully, i'll never see it again

 

I dont have any fresh pics of it,it looks like pretty much same nowadays.Same color,same flames.When i last saw it,it looked like there was nothing else done to it than riding it.

 

Got any more pictures of the shoebox in picture #5?

 

Wow they all look great. This is what keeps us all dreaming...

 

Hey Jim,

I still don't forgive you for having that Mercury leave NJ.
