Kustom Trucks

Ever since I first saw the Rod and Custom Dream Truck, I have loved over the top half ton haulers!

Happy Easter

This picture, from a rod run this month in Arizona, looked as if it was very appropriate to the holiday in its paint color. Trust you all had a blessed Easter and will be looking forward to getting out and about with your rides. Maybe yesterday's snow here in NH will be our last until next fall.

Joe M.'s new ride, a very tasteful chopped Cadillac. Mild custom that is really easy on the eye.

CRUISE TO THE BEACH II!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey it is official now. The 2nd annual Kustom Kings Cruise to the Beach will be June 11, 2011 with a rain date (let's hope not) of June 12. The location is Hampton Beach, NH and the event supports the American Legion Post. So mark it on your calendar, and spread the word.

Spring is only two weeks away!

Don't forget there is a club meeting, weather permitting, next Monday night, March 7th. We will hand out Rev 01 of the show list for 2011, vote on the draft bylaws and hopefully see a DVD of the GNRS kustom kars if Larry shows up.

So the wind is howling, the temperature well below freezing and the snow drifts are shoulder high on my front walk. But it is nice in Ventura, CA as these car show pictures show. Just a neighborhood car show at a local speed shop. Each morning I get a cup of coffee after stumbling out of a warm bed and view the latest posts on www.jalopyjournal.com. The HAMB, Hokey Ass Bulletin Board, provides hours of tech information, inspirational pictures and great classifieds. Hey only 34 days until Spring guys!!!!

Belated Happy New Year

Well a belated Happy New Year to all the Kustom Kings. I will endeavor to do a better job on this blog so stay tuned. Good to see Larry Robbins, former club member who has returned, at the February meeting. Larry is doing a '57 Ford tudor post he got from Michigan. Christy, who relocated from Boston to southern Maine, is doing the tin work. Heard from Larry Kimball, who may attend our March Meeting. Jim Cushman and Larry are two of the main reasons the Kustom Kings didn't fade into obscurity. I met Larry on the HAMB but look forward to meeting him in person. Also Larry has a CD with 1400 pics of the Grand National Roadster Show which I am eager to view! The sectioned shoebox pictured was one of the "old" kustoms featured in a 75 year review of kustom kars at the event.
Rev. 0 of the 2011 Kustom Kings show/swap meet schedule has been emailed to those members I have addresses for. IF you have email and don't get Kustom King emails, let me know at quiltsnwoodies@myfairpoint.net and I'll get you on the list. Also thanks to Larry for providing several shows I didn't have on Rev.0 and will be added to Rev. 1.
