Features Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms....

Keep in mind that we are a small country,only 10 million people.
But I think you`re right,it feels like it has slowed down a bit.

 

Haven’t seen pics of this one without the Jimmy Jones skirts before. Cool!

 

Reminds me of Marty Feldman...

 

LOL!

 

Thanks for the reply, j hansen.
It seemed for a while that America's Kustom Culture Past was alive and well, and living in Sweden!
I was afraid maybe some laws/politics might have changed. But at the rate you guys were turning out great Kustoms,
maybe someone just took a weekend off! LOL!

"Helldorado".

The second photo has a date it was processed at the top, Dec. 1965.

EDIT - I just noticed you can barely see it on the first photo as well.

 

A few more old shots of this one LOL Still has the same license plates.

 

Just to be clear, the photos that @straykatkustoms posted are of the current "clone" build.
The original is said to be gone....

 

Ray Wilson of Kent Washington. You have seen his work before. Moriarity owns the original of the last car pictured. the last car pictured.

 

Yesterday I was reading the latest Kustomrama newsletter and saw that the El Capitola is for sale.

flatout51, that is one fine fat fender Ford! The chop looks absolutely perfect to me.
But, so help me, I'd weld on the rear fenders and round the upper deck corners before I'd call it a proper storage shelf!

 

Thanks MO.

 

Hahaha!!! All of that is coming as soon as my shoebox is on the road! And thank you! I'm pretty proud of how the chop came out!

This is one of my favorite "modern" customs. The top has that modern look to it while the rest of the car still retains a classic vibe. A very successful combo IMO. This is the era of cars that I cut my teeth on for customs as they were what was being built when I got into customs so they have a soft spot for me.
