Thread: High quality High Dollar kustoms

Jim I think 300k isnt even enough to be a serious contender in the big shows any more. The shop i work for will have 350k+ into an O/T mustang that will be a show/driver and 200k into the 55 nomad...

thanks for all the input guys. I'm surprised at some of the numbers being thrown out, but ill believe it. One of the reasons i was asking was because i had assumed that they where drivers, at least some of them where drivers maybe. And was wondering what the bottom of the car had looked like if it was going to be a driver, for 100k or more. I just couldnt imagine why they would cost so much. I guess im gonna have to hit up the GNRS next...

the rule of thumb in the show world was....show it and win,then when its done being a serious points contender drive it and enjoy it or sell it

dont know what i should think about ,yesterday my 53 beater was standing on a strret , probably 6 k in it total and a couple walks by and means oh look that beatuy car but its total unpayable and they walked into a audi a 4 . So what would they think if i had decent chrome and a shinny paintjob and what would people doing seeing such a car on the street ? dont matters howe much money i ever owne ,a rod and kustom is handmade for me ,by me and...

I worked at another shop a few years ago and we were building a 34 ford sedan delivery for the ridler. When I left the car was painted but it was fucked up in a few spots so we had to redo a bunch of work. The bill was at $700,000 then. I was just there today to say hi and noticed the car is still not done. The floor pans were cut & polished, and smoothed right out, the chassis was skim coated, blocked, and the paint was also cut...

First thing: remember a Jonh D' car is built by Oz. Mine looks like a mess underneath because I drive my Kustom. Sorry to all the builders I admire but the car has a motor and wheels so I drive mine. You will get a lot of comments on what makes a 100K car, so release the hounds....... B

Check out some of the indoor shows where they put the cars on racks with mirrors and study them. Some are over the top chromed/polished everything, never driven. Others may have minor road battle scars, but maybe they made the cover of some rag, etc. and carry a premium price because everybody knows the car. Reputation of the builder is another piece of it.
