Customs Kustoms.

I like both of those cars,but the only I don't like or understand why they do it is...DRIPRAILS!!!! Why do ya remove them??? I think it takes away from the lines of the car and your eye is drawn to the square door.JMO of course

These are pix of my full custom 37 terraplane, I did the head and tail lights the rest was done by some of my friends, I am not a body man. Bill Abate of NJ did the chop and Chuck Sago did the hinges, skirts and the dr. handles,ants. also the paint The fr. handles are now off an the fr. hinges are next before spring. Its great to have friends to do the work you can't.

An oldie from the Drag-N-Shop. To the best of my knowledge this pickup has never been finished. This is what it looked like when I last saw it.

 

Stolen from the Fuck!-board.

 

Damn those are fantastic looking!That black one is perfect in my eyes.I love.its now my all purpose desktop!

There any more info on that black merc?

 

Can you believe this car sold for more than $30,000.00, this is why I wanted my 60 Buick.

 

It was a realy nice car till someone put those flames on it

 

here is my 48 Dodge rag top with a lift off Carson Top,anyone recognize it??? I have'nt got a clue who built it or when,my best guess is early 60's ? All the body work is in lead and it had tons of chrome plating everywhere

 

this is my 48 chev x-4door a bit of fun with what was barely a parts car,if it doesnt get sold to help with the moving west expenses,ther will be lots more bodywork...56 dodge bumpers,full fade away to the cab corners ,i have a much better set of front fenders,53 Buick headlights and several different grill choices.

I built this car for my dad a couple years ago for the Choppers Show. We had 6 weeks to complete it and managed to get it from a stripped and tired rolling body to this in my attached garage, paint and all. My dad is from Oneonta, NY, when he was a teen racing stock cars, he always wanted to build a custom. He ended up in the Army instead, but collected old custom add-on parts for many years. He always told me that customs near there weren't as much chopped and channeled, but wild paint on mostly stock bodies with lots of bolt-on stuff. So it's basically a stock Merc, I dropped in a 53 flathead with aluminum heads and headers, straight pipes, 4-speed toploader, and 3:54 gear. We tuck and rolled the interior, and added the crazy 6 volt add-on stuff, cigarette holder/lighter, 1953 Sun tach, tissue box, spotlights, traffic light third brake light, and much more. We mounted a Coronado kit on the back, matching caps, lakes, lowered, and a green plexiglass visor(not shown). I painted, flamed and striped it for him and he's been driving it ever since.

 

Any more pics of the Holden FJ that thing is awesome.
