So that is where the Holley ended up! That carb use to be on the Twister T. It was loaned to get the Victorian running and somehow it never got returned. I guess it was for a good cause.
This shot was when Buddy owned it and I think that is Trinity grade school in the background. This was purchased with funds from the US government when the Klamath Indian Tribe sold out.
Absolutely beautiful !I just bought my first non gm car in 25 years. A 1951 2 door mercury, monterey. Having seen many customs over the years I realize everyone puts in there own special little touches on every car that is built. Some ideas I like and some are not always my favorite. I can honestly say that I love everything you did on this car. I hope to do as good as a job.
One of my favorite Hot Rod Cover cars! Looks like before car was channeled and running boards were removed. Kinda like it without the skirts also. Karl

I know that Phil will do justice to the '46 Merc, I for one really look forward to seeing it finished!It is gonna be one of the BEST Custom in Great Britain when done.
We've had the ford for about 7 yrs, car has alot of history behind it's pass. Car was featured in Kustom Iillustrated Magizine in 1959. I've never liked the color of it now, so this winter is going back to it's orginal color of black, which it was back in 1959. If you'ld like to know more information on the car E-Mail me, Ernie and Mike.

How many Hall of Fames are YOU in? Are you recognized so highly like my 82 year old father?...who by the way is STILL customizing and working at his age because he GENUINELY LOVES CARS...All sorts of models, shapes, colors, tastes..."rolling art" no matter what your taste is.
Oh wait...Do you have a tab with your name on Riks page? Maybe we can all check your customs and/or hot rods there....
Just curious......Not trying to call you out or anything but you talk like you have such great knowledge of builders and their techniques so you obviously know your stuff...right ya'll?.
To each his or her own...Beauty if definitely in the eye of the beholder....
