Mild Kustom 57 Chevy's

The Wagon is mine but the photo of the hardtop I found on the internet.  I think the hardtop looks great just the way it is.

As far as mine goes, I plan on getting the upholstery and chrome work done just after the first of the year.  I may lower the front end another inch or two. 

Dreams...

BOYHOOD DREAMS By TEEN ANGEL

Matranga Style Mercury

Very Stylish hardtopped Mercury.  So many of the Kustom 40 Mercury's are painted this color or very similar due to the famous Matranga Merc.  I would love to see this car or another one of the same style painted one of the colors below.

 

Loren and Mansfield

Not Kustoms but they're great to look at...

Kustoms, But Time To Time It's Hot Rods

I have a true love for Kustoms but I do post Hot Rods from time to time.  I have two Kustoms and I am building a Traditional Hot Rod at this time.  If you have any Traditional Hot Rod photos you would like me to post email them to me at stylishkustoms@live.com .

 1955 Chevy

I may have posted this one before but it deserves to be posted again.

  It's just a Mild Kustom but the Flames take it to the Wild Side.  

One of Larry Watson's alltime great flame jobs.

My Fifty Seven

This has been a great car for carrying all of my music equipment.   Believe it or not, this car could carry my Upright Bass and Amp setup, Main an Monitor Speakers with stands and the P.A. with all accesories.  I guess thats why its called a Handyman Wagon.

55, 56, 57 Chevy's

 This one above reminds me of my Wagon.  Maybe I should do a similiar grille treatment.

I am starting to like the Chevy's more and more.   When I bought my 57, it was for the resale value and not the style of the car.  The longer I hold onto the car the more attached I get to it.  Even though I say that, I would trade it if the right 40's car came along.

Some Of My Old "Paso" Photos

For those of you who were there, can you remeber the old times we had?  What do you think of that night shot and do you remember where the photo was taken?

1936 Ford

What do you think of the color?  I don't care much for the two tone with suede look, but I do think it looks better now by taking off the bright red. 

Movin' On Down The Road

Great paint and color scheme on this late 50's style Mopar Kustom.  I wouldn't be surprized if that was a true Watson paint job.

Stylish 58 Chevy

Panel/Scallop job on this 58 Chevy is very Stylish.  A true late 50's Kustom, from the wheels, the rake and the paint.

Paul Bragg Mercury

This is an older photo of the Paul Bragg Mercury that has been in the building stages for about 7-8 years now.  I have not seen any current updates so if anyone has some send them my way so I could post them. 

1940 Chrylsler

Someday soon I hope to build another 39-40 Kustom Coupe.  I have my eye on a couple of them right now.  It will look a lot like my old 40 Chrysler but the next one will be shaved and skirted.

Sam Barris' 1949 Kustom Fadeaway Mercury

 This is one of my favorite Kustom Mercury's.  The color is great and the Kustom work makes the car look very Stylish.  This is known as the first chopped 49-51 Mercury.  It was bought new by Sam Barris.

Choppers Kustoms

Older photo of the Choppers Car Club taken off the internet.  I believe this photo was taken at Viva Las Vegas many years ago.

Two cool videos, you might want to pause the music player for these.

Shell Gas Station hangout across from the park in Paso

A Very Stylish Kustom

Remember the Shell Gas Station across from the park in Paso.  This red Ford pictured above was parked many times at this same location. 

Car Club Plaques



Great part of Hot Rodding and Kustom car culture.

Another Old "Paso" Photo

HEADHUNTERS KUSTOMS

Geoff Mohr sent me a bunch of old photos from the old

West Coast Kustoms, Paso Robles "Paso" days. 

That was truly a Great Show and missed by many people.

I believe some day it will return to Paso.
