Features 1948-52 New Old Style Kustoms

work in progress 46 ford

 

Stunning

 

Sylvian......thanks for the compliment a couple posts back.

 

Easter weekend.......this is when the whole Barris stable would go down to Balboa with all the Kustoms to go party and dance at the Rendezvous Ballroom and of coarse show off their cars.The era of this thread is when they started bringing all the sleds down.They called it Balweek,I had to go down there today just out of respect for the past.

Happy Easter fellow Custom Lovers.

 

Can always count on you to point this stuff out Jeff Must be a good time for customs. I actually found my 41 Buick Six years ago tonight, bought it six years ago Easter morning.

 

Curt Six, have you posted pics of your buick on here? I dont know if it doesn't fit, but from your avatar it looks stunning!!!

 

Happy Easter Jeff.

Hey, maybe for Easter we could start a thread on "80's easter egg" paint jobs???

 

And to get the thread back on track, heres a cool picture I found on google

 

No problem, I've been an admirer of your car for a long time. It's just perfect.

 

Thanks...the only thing that lies better than pictures are REALLY small pictures. My car is definitely headed in th pre-52 custom direction, but not far enough along to really belong on here yet. I'm actually out of town and reading this on my phone (nerd), and the only photo I have of my car is this photo I took when I was mocking up some skirts (that I'm not sure I'm going to use) very late one night recently.

 

That didn't work. Guess I can't post that one pic afterall...

Here are some photos I took of Jon Fisher's car a few years ago...

Great pics of Fish's 36,thank God things around here seem to be getting close to normal again.

 

My friend Paul Garland just sent me this photo of his Ford, and I just have to add it here.
His metal work skills are enviable - check those sail panels.

Yes, Duncan Emmons' Ford. I took these shots during de-installation of the Kustoms with a "K" exhibit at the Petersen in 2004. Here are a few more shots (including Duncan's Matranga Merc re-creation) ...
