1951 CHEVY Styline hotrod .  This car was built by Scott Norton of Norton's Customs in Huntington Beach.   The build process can be seen on his web site at Nortonscustomsteetrods. com. just click on Mark's 51 and you can see detailed photographs of the car in addition to other cars he built. This project was a partial body off restoration and extensive work was done for frame reinforcment and to set up for a 350 motor and transmission.  The car has had the motor. transmission and rear end rebuilt in addition to having a new radiator. all engine accessories. carburetor etc. replaced.   The rear end has 2:73  gears so the RPM's at freeway speed are reasonable.   The suspension was installed by the BAGMAN in Anaheim and is a four link rear and a Mustang tubular front end along with an Accuair E-Level air ride system with sensor levers on all four corners.    The car handles and drives superbly.   The car has been painted in a two stage color similar to a deep Burgundy or Merlot color. The custom scallops were painted and pinstriped and then a clear gloss was painted over the work. A second pin stripping was added along with other painted features. All the custom paint work was done by Dave Wittle of California Design in Norco. CA. The car has a heater and does not have AC since I live in so cal and usually drive with the windows down.  The wiring is all new with over 20 relays controlling the various components.   All the bullet switches control the various electrical devices and there are 4 additional switches that are available to operate future components it they are added latter.   The wheels are new by Wheel Smith and the front covers are 1953 Cadillac hub caps that have been altered to fit.   The front seats are 1964 T-Bird seats covered in white leather.   All the trim on the seats was removed and polished.   The rear seat is stock and covered in white leather as well.   The center console is a custom piece made of translucent Corian and has red LED lights placed inside the unit.   The photographs on Norton's site show what the car looks like at night when the lights are turned on.     All the chrome was re-plated.   The top has been chopped 5". the hood has been filled and pancaked. the lights are frenched front and back. the doors are electronically operated and also have an emergency release cable installed and the drip rails have been shaved.   Please note the shift knob that is on the car does not come with the car.   I will provide an alternative to the new owner.   I will be at the Father's day L. A. Roadster show in Pomona this Saturday. June 21. 2014 if anyone would like to see the car in person.

Kent Writtenberry | Gasburg, VA | 1951 Chevy Fleetline
Traditionally designed customs embody plenty of allure and design elements, giving them endless style and flowing lines. Kentz Kustomz Cycles nailed the look starting with a graduated 4-inch to 3-1/2-inch chop, mild channel, and 2-inch body section accented by a full shave, frenched headlights, and stretched fender skirts. Shaved 1954 Chevy bumpers with 1955 Chevy bumper guards add plenty of appeal while a frenched custom grille completes the look and AccuAir sets the stance. A detailed 348ci Chevy V-8 topped with 3-deuces sends power through a GM 700-R4 trans with wide whites rolling the power. The razor-sharp body was then coated in House of Kolor Kandy Brandywine, giving it a signature look with a custom ostrich and leather interior adding plenty of style.

Chevrolet Bel Air 1951 Custom La Jolla by Harry Bradley

Jerry Logan’s ’50 was one of the most standout traditional show-kustoms that we saw at the event. When he pulled in, around all the roadsters and street rods, people stopped what they were doing in order to admire some real wild class from the past.



Jerry brought his ’50 hardtop kustom down from Hilsboro, OR and we’re glad he did! Although we weren’t able to catch up with the man himself we still paid our respects to the car by snapping a few shots and doing a couple, plus a couple more, walk arounds to see what it was all about.



The 350 ci/TH350 powered ’50 houses the powerplant inside of a beautiful bay–not as pretentious as a shaved and smoothed Ridler bay, but tidy, consistent, and with some real soul. The kind of soul from a driver that knows a thing or two about living fast, but looking presentable. The mirrored firewall and matching gold/chrome finned beauty kit tie everything together.



Frenched headlights, reshaped fenders, and a floating grille are all fundamental and executed with reserved confidence. The cream/gold color combo is reminiscent of a puff pastry that registered at Kool Skool for some AP classes on 60s West Coast flavor.




On the inside, gold piping and cream seats keep the whole build in line. The dashboard was extended downward to house a modern AC/heating unit that looks like it was designed in the 50s. There’s nothing out of time about Jerry’s kustom and it’s always a pleasure seeing traditional rides like this at Goodguys.
