Chuck Small - Original Hot Rodder...

One day after surfing my friend Sean and I stopped by Chuck Small's shop in Santa Maria, CA for a little tour of his shop.  Chuck has been Hot Rodding since the early days and was involved with he LA Roadsters for many years.  Chuck has numerous photos posted up of all the cars he has had over the past years and today he still has some very nice Hot Rods.  Chuck told us some great stories of his runs at El Mirage and Muroc and then showed us his 34 Ford.  I frequently see Chuck at the local cruise nights and car shows in his Stylish 36 Ford. More photos to come soon...

Robert Williams Art...

This is one of my favorites by Robert Williams.  This one is from the internet but I have my signed copy at home matted and framed.

Kustom 36 Ford Roadster...

This reminds me of the infamous Robert Williams 36 Ford.

Parts Trader...

I am always looking for Kustom parts to buy or trade. If you have parts for sale please contact me at stylishkustoms@live.com

The photos above are just a sample of some of the parts I have had over the past several years.

Also if you are selling a Kustom, Hot Rod or vintage parts and would like me to post them on this site contact me at the above email.

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.

One Of The Greats...

The Nick Matranga 1940 Mercury

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.

The Friday View...

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.

Taking a break...

Sorry, I haven't posted anything new due to a recent move and house remodel (no time).  I will be posting some new items really soon.
