Pat Jeteris one of the founding members of Headhunters Kustoms. Pat had his '49 Ford for many years but eventually sold it and went on to his 31 Model A Pickup project. His Model A has won many awards and been featured in many magazines.
Paul Bragg's Olive Green 1949 Mercury is one of the nicest Mercs you will find. If you know Paul then you know his other Mercs are also in the same category. These photos were taken by my friend J.W. Cuningham 28 years ago while we were at the KKOA Sled Scene West show. Believe it or not this car was being chopped by Paul around 40 years ago. J.W. just sent me a bunch of old photos that I will be posting over the next couple of weeks.
Check out Jim Thompson's Kustom Shoebox Ford. Jim sent me these photos to post on the site. Jim does all of his own work except for the interior. I would love to see this car roll into this years West Coast Kustoms show in Santa Maria CA. Jim's Ford was photographed by Rich Chenet from Wexford, Pa. for Street Thunder Magazine. Jim also owns a '36 Ford that he currently building that I am going to feature in the near future.
Bob and I have been communicating back and fourth about lowering his '46 Ford. It is a great start for a very Kool Kustom and I can't wait to see the outcome. Not only does he have the Ford but he has this awesome Pontiac that looks good just the way it is. Just imagine it lowered about three inches. Both great cars.
Zocchi's 54 Mercury is one of my favorites. Check out those Olds headlight rings, Desoto grille and bumper and those mild scallops. Back in the 80s this car was solid blue but the later two tone version also looks great.
Years ago I had a 64 Galaxie Wagon but it did not look this good. Mine was a daily driver and the motor was getting very tired. It served it's purpose and I later sold it and tripled my money on it. Someday I would love to get another Galaxie but it would have to be a 64 Galaxie 500 XL two door hardtop.
My name is Mark Garza and I collect photos, old and new, of Traditional Kustoms and Hot Rods. I have been involved with Hot Rodding since I was just a young kid. It was first through my Uncle’s stories of his old times and also his little page magazines that I now collect. At age twelve I found my first car, it was a '55 Plymouth which I still have today. At age sixteen I was brought into the Lowrds car club in Fresno California. That’s when my love for Kustoms really began.
Now, along with my Dad and Brother, we build Kustoms & Hot Rods, mostly for hobby but also for sale. My Dad is Arnold Garza, an awesome metal man who has built some great Kustoms over the years. We are all members of Headhunters Kustom Kars.
This blog is dedicated to showing some of the best Kustoms and Hot Rods of past and present and is also an avenue for buying, selling and trading old, rare and unique Kustom & Hot Rod cars and parts.
