Features Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms....

  1. My dad had a '53 Chevy grille in his '51 Merc, but it was just the bar/teeth in the stock Merc surround not the Chevy shell. That looks pretty killer.

    I have a '53 grille with 7 teeth hanging on my office wall that was cut and V'd slightly in the center and the depth of the parking light housings were trimmed way back to fit into what I assume was a long ago Merc custom, although it could have been a different, similar car. I like that bar in a Merc shell. But still an impressive job someone did to use the bar and the shell in that Merc above.

  5. jeffy, that is indeed a Buick, 1950 I believe. Rear window appears to be the stock one for that car albeit leaned forward with the chop. Also cool that it has been turned hardtop!

    Went to the Calgary World of Wheels show last night and this was the only custom (that would meet the criteria):

    Wonder what's under the hood.... note the tach on top of the dash far driver's side.

    I really like the '57 Ford above, it's got a nice look and uses some parts that are older than the model of car they went onto, which is kinda rare but in this case really works.
     
  19. I remember it now. Didn't recognize it with the flames. I ruined a couple of Monogram '40 pickups back then trying to replicate it.
