Very nice Mercury Kustom.  Looks like a 1980's car show photo.

St. Patricks Day w/The Hydramatics

Westergard Kustoms

My favorite Style of Kustomizing has to be the Westergard Style.
You may want to pause the music player while watching this.

Chopped Shoebox Ford

This Ford has had many Kustom techniques that make it a truly Stylish Shoebox.

Old Show Photos

Various Rods & Kustoms at some of the old indoor car shows.  This is the time of year for these types of shows. 

Mikael's 1950 Cadillac Helldorado from Sweden

Mikael has built his 1950 Cadillac all by my himself (welding, paint, interior, etc.).  The car started as a four door post but is now a two door with a removable top.  These pictures are how he first built the car but he has now reworked it and will be sending more photos soon. 

Stylish Chevy Kustom

I have always liked this car.  I would like to see this one completely finished.  If anyone has anymore photos of it, please send them my way so I could post them. 

Slick 53 Family Kustom

Just another family day in the Kustom 53 Chevy.

I wonder if my kids ever knew how cool it really was to be picked up from school in the Chopped 40 or the 57 Kustom.  Some day they will talk about it.

Chopped 54 Merc

This is a very Stylish Kustom although it may have been chopped a little much for my taste.

Looking for a front end for my project

Trying to find a front end on a budget. I also have things to to trade. If interested contact me at thehydramatics@msn.com.

Rods & Kustoms but mostly Kustoms

1935 Ford

This '35 Ford is very Stylish.  I would love to see it with the hood on.

Live Music this Friday Night in Pismo Beach

Great photo from the GNRS 2010

I will feature more of this car soon.

Jack Calori 36 Ford Coupe

Severely stepped the rear of the frame and a dropped axle up front to achieve the right stance.  Chopped three inches, a 1939 LaSalle grille, a clamshell hood, skirts, and 1940 Chevy headlights.  A truly Stylish Kustom.

Coming soon...

Old Indoor Car Show

Looks like this was a late 50's car show. I recognize the truck and a couple of the cars from the some of the old books I have. 

Through the comments I have learned, this is a photo taken at the first Renegades Rod & Custom Motorama in 1958.  Thank you Sondre of Kustomrama. http://www.kustomrama.com/

Kustom Chrysler

I haven't seen or heard from the old gal since she's been gone. 

Stylish Olds Kustom

I remember when this Oldsmobile was featured in Rod & Custom magazine years ago.  It has always been one of my favorite Olds Kustoms.  In the near future I hope to have a 51 or 52 Olds.

40 Ford Kustom

I found this photo on the net but am not sure if it is an actual car or Photoshop image.  It is still a great photo.

Club Plaques

Keep sending them so I can post them.  I would like to see more from the active Kustom clubs. Take a photo of them and attach them to an email to thehydramatics@msn.com

Beatniks Chevy ?

I have seen this Chevy at the shows and I thought it may belong to Jack Rudy from the Beatniks Car Club. Through the comments I have found that not to be true.  That's Jack in the photo.  Anyway, it is a Stylish Chevy Kustom.

Stylish '36 Ford 3 Window Coupe

This Kustom '36 Ford 3 window coupe belongs to Jon Fisher "Fish" from the Choppers car club, Burbank, CA.  This photo is from years past at the Paso Cruisin' Nationals event.

Kustom Paint

Some of the finest Watson paint schemes around.  That 57 Plymouth is one of my favorite cars.

1948 Ford

Check out this Stylish 48 Ford Chopped Convertable.  That is a great photo with that background.

Headhunters Kustoms in Ventura, CA after Primer Nationals 2010

This Friday night at Downtown Brewing Co.

Don't miss this show, its going to be a great one.

I know, its not all Kustoms but the the Wagon is what got me there.

Surfing at Rincon on Saturday January 23, 2010

Saturday morning gathering of Cars & Trucks

On the Central Coast of California there are already a number of spots to get out on Saturday mornings for that early morning cruise.  Morro Bay, Pismo Beach and Paso Robles just to name a few.  Now Orcutt is another great spot to get your Car or Truck out for that Saturday morning cruise.  It is located on the south end of Santa Maria at Clark ave. & S. Bradley Rd.  They are not trying to take away from any of the other spots, just making it available so people can get their Kustoms, Classics, Hot Rods or whatever they want out for a drive on Saturday mornings. 

1940 Merc Convertible, Old Kustom

An Original Southern California Kustom

Very Stylish 1957 Pontiac.  I think the supremes and thin whites look great on the later 50s cars.  My dad started driving in the late 50s and claims wide whites were a thing of the past by that time.  He was also making reversed rims for all his friends. Chrome was in and the wider the better.
