Pat Jeters Old '49 Ford & 31 Model A Pickup...



Pat Jeter is 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 '49 Mercury...



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.

Jim Thompson's Shoebox Ford...



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.

The cars of Bob & Kathy Kroupa...



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.

Old Los Banos Photo...

I photographed this Mercury years ago in Los Banos at the old West Coast Kustoms show.  It is very mild but a true Kustom.

1954 Mercury...

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.

Chopped Chevy...

I would really like to see this car in the finished state.  It has a very nice chop and stance.

Smooth Wagon...

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.
