KUSTOMS...












I like all old cars but Kustoms are my favorite style.  I have two Kustoms and I am currently building a Hot Rod. There is nothing like cruising in a cool Kustom and the good thing is you have plenty of room for friends and family in the car.

Santa Maria Local...

J. R. Kerr is a Santa Maria local that I met a few years back at the Elks Car Show.  I was driving my 1940 Chrysler and he came up and inspected it thinking it may be his Dodge due to the Packard grille.  J.R. told me that he got his Dodge in 1948 and shortly after that he dinged up the front end so he fixed it by adding the Packard grille.  J.R. is still as cool today as he looks in the photo above and I am very glad to have met him.

Christian Salinardi's Ford Mild Kustom...




 These photos were sent to me a while back by Christian Salinardi.  I haven't heard from him in a long time but I would like to see if there has been anymore progress on his Ford.  This car has always reminded me of my 55 Plymouth.

An Old Kustom Wedding...

Years ago my friend Jason from Headhunters got married in Ventura CA.  We had a great time with the caravan of Kustoms and also a great reception after.

Stylish Wagons...

These are some of the nicest Mild Kustom Wagons around.  The blue one is owned by Henry Gong and the other is owned by Rusty from Santa Barbara, CA.  They have both been regulars over the years at the West Coast Kustoms events and both have inspired me during the build of my Wagon.

I am back and done with the home remodel.  The internet is back up starting today.  It has been a lot of hard work but well worth it.  I will get back to the Kustoms tomorrow.

Nice Mild Chopped Ford...

Shoebox Fords look best when the chop is done mild in fashion.  Some of the extreme chopped Fords have a flat spot just behind the rear quarter window.  This one looks good to me.
