Hello Rik, have admired your contributions to the old car hobby, both real and scale, for many years and just wanted to say thank you. I'm just finishing a 1/25 Westergard style 36 Ford with the R&MCM body that you mastered and it's turning out beautifully. The stuff you've done in connection with Norm never fails to blow me away, he gets all of my money whenever I see him at a swap meet! Hope to meet you some day and extend my thanks in person. You are much appreciated in model hobby! Best Regards, Dennis Caudell
The colorized version of the Jessy lopez ford coupe custom helped decide on the color for my '48 ford custom...candy green,I will send you a pic or two when finished,mid 2010.Thanks for sharing all the pics.
Hey i wanted to thank you for all the info on chopping the 1951 chevy business coupe. It will be my winter project to lower the top 4/12" thanks again for the info. Denny
Ik neem aan dat je nog nederlands spreekt... Ik heb en '50 merc en was eigenlijk benieuwd of jij geen lijst hebt van 49/51 mercs hier in ons kikkerlandje.. Rij je trouwens ook een Merc??
Rik, Really enjoy your Kustom Kar site . I was wondering if you had any photos of any of the Kustom Kars built by Frank & John Balzano from Bristol, Rhode Island U.S.A.. I remember his own personal car, a 1956 Ford Victoria full Kustom, Beautiful car! He built Kustom cars for two of my friends , one a 1953 Ford 2Dr.& the other a 1951 Chevy 2Dr. He also did some work for me on the 1954 Olds. hardtop I had at the time. Would like to see some of his work on your web site. LATER!! Kustom Bob ( member of the Shifters car club ) Attleboro, Mass. U>S>A> 1959 - 1961
Rikster- I can't thank you enough for the time and effort that you have put into the creation of your Custom Car Photo Archive. It is truly an online treasure. I am so glad that the work of customizers past and present can be showcased and organized so well. I look forward to what you have yet to give the Custom Car world. I also hope to someday see my work in your archives for others to enjoy. This alone is a motivating factor large enough to push for a quality of craftmanship that I must strive for. Thank you again and best of luck in the future! Joel Davis Fargo, ND USA "Pinstriper40" on the HAMB
First off just wanted to say thank u for the site. Thats some dedication bud. I have never found 1 site that had every kustom worth seeing in one place. From the founding fathers of kustoms to the new guys keeping the spirit of hot rods alive. Thank u again.
