Scott Pavey’s “Candy Cane” is immaculate. I first saw this car in a video that Doug Reed shot at the 1983 KKOA Leadsled Spectacular when Scott was 16 and had just finished it’s first version. It was awesome to see the car still in his hands and still looking awesome.
Gary Minor and his wife drove from the San Fransisco area to Indy to be a part of this show.
I first noticed this car at the Stray Kat 500 this year and a week later at the Pete & Jake’s Open House. Good to see it here in Indy.
Voodoo Larry was in attendance
The Toad looking good all the way from Wichita.
Dave Pareso and his wife Chris brought their Merc to the show with it’s new exterior color, the interior will get transformed to match soon.
“String of Pearls”
Pure gorgeousness
This ride was for sale for $15k and seemed a steal at that price.
Ross came 850 miles down I-70 with his chopped, channelled and sectioned Merc.
I came back to get this car without the shadow, but the car had left, good thing I got this one.
Soooo kool.
Your favorite summer time beverage just tastes better colder, why not keep it cooler and show off your hot rod/kustom love with this killer Royboy Coozie?

When I first heard of the Custom Car Revival in Indianapolis last year I knew I wanted to go. However, the dates last year didn’t work out and I missed the inaugural event. After returning from this year’s event, I don’t think that I’ll make that same mistake again.
Leaving home on Wednesday Evening
Wednesday evening my girlfriend, her son and I loaded up in my 63 ½ Galaxie and headed out on our trip to Indy. Planning to only put a few hours in before meeting up with some friends from Colorado we headed east. Lucky for us my father was headed west on I-70 at that same time and invited us to have some BBQ with him. After that delicious detour we made our way up to St. Joseph, MO for our hotel. A drunk driver nearly ran us off the road, put himself in the ditch and then passed us on the shoulder, we called 911 and turned his plates and car description and peeled off that highway for our hotel.
Thursday morning we met up with Roger and Dan Jetter and Dave and Chris Pareso from ColoRODo and we headed east on highway 36 towards Indy. Highway 36 is known as the shortest route from Denver to Indy according to a sign in Norton, KS along the route. They had followed the highway from Denver to St. Joe before we joined the caravan.

The drive was a long one but fun. I’d been down much of that stretch before so nothing new for me to see, but my passengers had not so there was some excitement in showing a 6 year old the Mississippi River and other sites of interest.
Finally later in the day we arrived in Indianapolis at the host hotel. Some traffic had slowed us down and I had to turn the heater on full tilt boogie to keep the car from overheating but we made it. The cars in the parking lot for Thursday night alone were breathtaking.
One of the first cars we see when we arrive is Kevin Anderson’s 36 FordOne of the first cars we see when we arrive is Kevin Anderson’s 36 FordRay’s Buick was once a 4 door. This beautiful Kustom is about 30 years old at this point and still looks like a fresh build.Beauty!Some more from the host hotel parking lot on Thursday evening.
