Title: Favorite Kustoms Lately... Suedes Edition
Post by: pinstriper40 on October 30, 2009 2:56 am: I know there's one of these threads on the HAMB... but I want to see what the Suedes and locals view as the coolest kustoms around. Here are a few of my current favorites to get things started.

Post by: tracywiedrich on October 30, 2009 3:58 am: No pictures here, but, I'm really digging all the 49 through 54 chevs. My first two cars were a 49' and fifty tudors .It also helps that I just drug home a 52 ragtop in August. Anxious to start finding parts for a custom down the road. Glad to see that there is finally a large supply of parts available too....

Morts Merc.

The cool part of Mort's are all the subtle changes. If you don't know `53-`54 merc you can miss them.

Post by: sixinarow on November 05, 2009 7:55 pm: If anyone has this issue, could I get a bigger scan? I asked Rocket/Other Ryan, and he said he didn't have it or at least hasn't unpacked them all yet.

It's long lost... It'll make for a good "barn find" someday. What a historical piece too. You'd think someone would find it and restore it to it's former glory.
