KS Boys Backroads Tour!

Sitting around having fun at the hotel during the Stray Kat 500 this year a few of us thought it would be a good idea to do SOMETHING, anything in between the 500 and the KKOA in Salina. We all have shows we were going to do but something where we actually did something with our rides would be great. The idea was brought to Finkd’s attention and he took the ball and ran with it. He’d done a cool run last fall when Ian Berky was up at Premier Body & Paint in Arkansas City, KS and had been wanting to do another run anyways so the stars lined up for us all and the run was planned. Finkd did a great job planning the run and took us down some very cool roads along the way. Continue reading “KS Boys Backroads Tour!”

Royboy Productions coverage of Pete & Jake’s Open House May 14, 2011

Pete & Jakes Hot Rod Parts hosted their annual Open House Car Show on May 14th in Peculiar, MO. A bunch of stripers were on hand (oh how much more fun would this sentence be with one additional “p” huh?) and a ton of cool cars/folks that build & own them. There was an auction of a ton of striped stuff to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. That’s a good cause, help support them if ya can.

Here’s some of what I saw. Click on any of these shots to go to the whole gallery, there are a ton more shots than what I’ll share on this thread.

2011 Stray Kat 500 Coverage Parts 1-2

The Stray Kat 500 weekend started early for me, after putting in the normal 10 hours at the day job on Thursday, I hopped in the Galaxie and headed out for Dewey, OK. A couple of texts with Mick (straykatkustoms) along the way prodded me on, when I asked him what was going on I got a one word reply “Margaritas” That sealed it, no stopping for dinner, I was hammer down and cruising through the Flint Hills for the OK border!

Event Coverage: 2011 HAMB-B-Q in Abilene, KS!

First off, thanks to Jay and his family for hosting this every year, this was my 2nd time attending and I had an absolute blast. A trip under the hood of my Galaxie lead to me not taking her on Saturday so I not only had to slum it in my daily but I missed the breakfast and Eisenhower Museum.

An afternoon with some friends, some cars and a barn

A while back my buddy Jack asked if I would come down and shoot some photos of his cars, good timing as I was just about to ask him if I could. So we decided we’d gather up his collection and take some photos next to an old barn near his house. He called up some of the other local hoodlums and had them bring their rides over too.
