What was surprising was that a lot of those cars were brand new or almost new when they were dropped off at some Kustom Shop and modified. We tend to think guys back then were reworking not so new cars, but that wasn't always the case.
BTW, The Father of Gastrick on here just picked up a VERY cool 51 Merc that is done right. They are going to make a few changes to make it their own, but I hear they haven't been able to get Bill Sr out of the car since he got it. I don't blame him.

The guy who has that site gives proper credit to Rik Hoving for many of the pictures. If you like this stuff, go to Hoving's site for more: http://www.rikhovingkustoms.com/RHK1...o_Archive.html
I was just reminded of this one this morning, gorgeous barge built by Joe Wilhelm...Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
