custom car revival and why you should have been there!

lowcustom10 on here and i made the over 1100 mile round trip and loved every minute of it. although we missed the friday nite cruise, the mini show in the hotel parking lot on friday nite offered more customs than most shows do today! first thing saturday morning snapped some shots in the lot

 

Hands down the best show i've been to in years. So glad that I got to see old friends and make new ones. I really do hope that there is another one next year

 

bright and early headed over to the show and reached "the motherload"


got to meet and spend some talking to mark moriarity about his cool '55

 

jack walker showed up with his hirohata merc clone. having never seen the original or clone in person, this was great for me. maybe the most famous custom ever.

 

i knew jim thompson (chopper99 on here) would be debuting his newest build and it was everything i expected, absolutely beautiful! great to see you again jim.

 

WOW, outstanding ! Hey, that Blue Chevrolet is my favorite .......... scrubba

 

finally got to meet kustomlincolnlady on here and not only thank her for her thousands of custom pictures she has posted on here over the years but to check out her amazing lincoln. it was great to finally meet you and your family.

 

Tanks for posting pics! A couple of us were planning on making the drive out but a fellow Stray Kat set the date for his wedding on the show date so plans were changed. I will be there next year for sure!

 

fatty mcguire and his brother the supersized drove 14 hours from new jersey in his full custom vette that was customized and shown in the very early '60's. after driving all nite. they slept in the car for a couple of hours before the show started. these guys are true hard core custom fanatics!

 

built in 1945 by the barris brothers for johnny zaro. motor trend magazine cover car in july 1951. very cool old custom, love the full fadeaways.

 

neat shoebox that has been around for a long time now. i remember in the early '80's this car got alot of coverage. still looks great. known as "little darling"

 

if you like later customs there was something there for you too.
very cool riviera with the coolest taillights i've seen yet.




a really clean '60 chevy with buick headlights and pontiac taillights




a cool '59 chevy with buick grill and wild bubble taillights

 

did you get any pictures of a skylark called the bumble bee owned by francis rockey out of lacon,illinois it is yellow in color.

thanks

Allen

 

one of our hosts, kevin anderson owns this slick 5 window. nice chop and i love the flush mount skirts.




really loved this '53 olds. lots of mods but everything fit and flowed beautifully.

 

great color choice on this subtle chevy hardtop




radical chopped and sectioned '41 ford

 

really liked this chopped ranchero






neat mid '50's ford

 

and i'll finish up with some random pictures. all in all the quality of the cars there was incredible. really hope this becomes an annual event. and thanks to kevin anderson and bob davis and there families for putting this great event together.










had to end with this shot

 

damn nice show. Thanks for posting for us.

 

Thanks for the pics, I live in Indy knew about the show, but had to work. Looks like a nice turn out for their first true custom show, hope it's returns next year.

 

I like the rear wheel opening.

 

Awesome looking cars. I need to add a custom to my stable!

 

I was there also and would like to think the hosts for putting this show on and having such strict rules on what was allowed into show. Literally if it wasn't a custom it wasn't going in. I hope to see it return next year. Lots of beautiful cars

nice pics mike! yes this car was real nice, alot of super nice little details that most wouldnt notice..one of which was they way he put curved glass on the shoebox speedo and clock.. such a classy touch.
