Hot Rods and Kustom Cars
Part 2 of the coverage of the 2013 Hobo Happening, see part 1 here.
Don’t forget to check in tomorrow for a list of some of the my favorite kustom kulture artists and links to where to find their stuff for sale. Art makes a great gift and you don’t have to go fight crowds to get it!

Due to a forecast of some nasty weather the Hot Rod Revolution was cancelled this weekend. I had made it about 2 hours south of my home when I got the word to turn around. As luck would have it there was a show in the region this weekend and not having a trip to Texas meant I could attend it. The Hobo Happening is a great small town event in Douglass, KS held each November and as is usually the case, it was a cold one this year. Highs were around 35 degrees and the winds were dropping that wind chill down to tingly temps. That kept the car count lower than last year’s 50 degree day but there were still a bunch of nice rides from as far away as Nebraska.

1 more post from the Hobo Happening tomorrow, and Wednesday look for a post listing links to all kinds of great artists that all have great stuff for sale that would make killer Christmas gifts, don’t go get trampled at a department store for some crappy made product that your loved one won’t even use a year from now, support kulture artists and get some great art in the process! Don’t forget to subscribe at the top right hand corner of the site and I’ll keep giving you daily dose of kool hot rods and kustoms.

A few years ago I was inspired to start a fun run event since my friends like to drive their cars more than just show them. Looking through the calendar I found a big gap between the Hobo Happening in Douglass, KS mid November and the Starbird-Devlin show in Wichita, KS in January, December was wide open. In Kansas December can be a real pain, then again it can be downright nice.
A date was picked, invitations were sent out via email and the H.A.M.B. and Stray Kat Kustoms came up with the perfect name, the Mid Decembrrrr Run! 10-12 cars showed up for various parts of that first run in 2010. We gathered in my home town of Gypsum, KS and headed out in the windy 13 degree F weather for McPherson College in McPherson, KS to tour their auto restoration course facilities. That was well worth the stop, very very high end skills being taught there in Mac.
Then it was off on some backroads to visit the Kansas Motorcycle Museum in Marquette, KS. Best $5 I ever spent! You need to check this place out!
Then we loaded up for a long haul west to Kanopolis lake and back around on old Highway 40 to Salina for a shop visit at Calvin’s Customs. Calvin is always open for us for the Mid Decembrrrr Run and it’s much appreciated.
My friends at the Paramount hosted a chili and hot dog dinner before we went to the Stiefel Theatre to watch that year’s KKOA DVD by Vintage Torque.
It was a lot of fun to watch the DVD on the big screen! Neal was the champ of the day, driving his Canopy Express 2.5 hours from Ottawa, KS to Gypsum, driving around with us all day, staying all the way through the movie then driving home IN THE SNOW! Road warrior that one.
The next year it was 56 degrees, the 3rd year it was in the 40’s so it’s not always cold!
We’re doing it again this year, but this year will be a short run, in 2012 we really went on a long drive so I wanted this one to be short. We’ll start in Gypsum, KS again and drive some back roads over to Abilene, KS to the Eisenhower Presidential Museum, if the shutdown is over by then and they are back open. This should provide a nice place for us to hang out for a couple of hours and mingle with other car folk and see some interesting history at the same time. After that a leisurely drive down old 40 Highway to Salina where I’m sure we’ll hit Calvin’s Customs to see what he’s been up to and then to the Paramount where I hope to be screening a film. That part is still up in the air.
Yes you are welcome to drive your late model car if it’s better suited to the weather, this event is about driving some kool roads in the area, seeing some interesting sights and most importantly about spending time with the rod/kustom family.
Join us on December 14th in Gypsum, KS at 10am for the run and stay with us all day long. Click here to join the Facebook event and keep up to date on all of the news of the event, I will remind everyone via the blog again about a month out.

Originally I had planned to take this weekend off, I’ve been going strong every weekend since Mid August so I planned a break this weekend. No such luck. Friday night I made the short trip down to Johnny Torres Upholstery’s Open House in Hutchinson, Saturday morning I started with 3 hours at the day job it was off to Russell, KS for the Flatlands Car Show.
The brick streets and many older buildings lend themselves perfect a great looking show.
That’s it for today, 1 more post from Russell, and its off to Abilene for the Chisholm Trail days.
See you at a show,

I’ve known Johnny Torres for a few years now, so when he invited me down to the Open House at his Johnny Torres Upholstery at 915 S. Main in Hutchinson, KS of course I was going to make the trip. I’ve watched his car go from primered and just on the road to finished kustom, it’s been a fun ride. He has been doing kustom upholstery work for a while now both here and occasionally out in CA when he goes out to visit his Beatnik brethren. I’ve captioned the photos so they should tell the story.
While hanging out I ran into one of Johnny’s friends Roy Field who along with his brother Justin and dad have a shop space across the street about a block up from Johnny’s place. Roy has a beautiful 49 Ford that you see above, and has a Bonneville car and they’re working on a dragster and his dad was KKOA member #6. Roy invited me over to see the shop and bit of his dad’s automobilia collection.
Here’s where I apologize, I tried a new lens hand held in this low light and the results were less than stellar. I shot maybe 30 more photos and none of them came out, I will not be using that lens in this situation again.
Today I’m off to shoot 2 small town Kansas shows, tomorrow the coverage from those shows will start, early next week expect to see the first drafts of the 2014 Calendar for Charity!

When the show was started it was in June and ran from 4p-10p, now that it’s in September, the show ends up at 8pm after the pinup contest and the awards. Perfect timing to head to my favorite pizza joint in Wichita then head to the after party. I had a really good time and I will be back next year.
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Matt rocking his Royboy Stencil hat.
Nice bike!

And then it was just me and my ride. Time to go grab a bite to eat and head to the after party.

Soooo, I got a lot of photos of my lady friends on stage and a few more with them next to some cars. Who can blame me, really? They were nice enough to walk around with me after their performance and pose by some cars and I am not stupid, pretty girl + kool car = WIN!
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Here’s the trophy table, all kool hand made trophies, because those mean more.
Happy Birthday Steve!
Kool kid hauler!
The hosts of the show.
Gimlet wanted to be the one to stand next to McPhail’s 41.
Compromise
The girls posed for a couple of photos with Joe’s white truck last year, so we had to shoot with his 40 Ford too.
We were kinda running up against the clock so I didn’t have time to run back to the car and grab flashes or reflectors, damn.
With the girls gone, and all of the guys focusing back on talking cars now, it was back to shooting car show coverage photos. How kool is this?
One of 3 Galaxies at the show.
Some will call this a rat, I just say its unrefined.
Another kool truck that I see all over the place.
There was a lot of orange at the show, and all of it was well done. Some great quality paint work.
Not too many bikes at the show, I could definitely use more of the style that showed up.
Larry James’ Caddy
Okay, I need this.
Again with Elvis’ Caddy? Yeah again.
Its a good time seeing this truck launch at the drag strip.
Primary’s members cars.
The Go Away Garage hosted a panel jam with some heavy hitters around the table. Lots of kool art was created.
That’s it for this post, more throughout the week or you can click here and see the entire gallery, 1 more post tomorrow to finish it up!

The Rumble, Wichita, KS Sept 28, 2013
The Rumble (formerly Rumble in Delano) has been going on each year in Wichita for a few years now. This is the second year for the show’s new late September date and the first time for the show’s new location just south of the Go Away Garage in downtown Wichita. Those two changes can be tough for a show to survive, but from my experience Saturday I think the show came through fine.
I really dig the under Kellogg/US-54 location, it just has an interesting and kool look about it. Here’s my Galaxie when I rolled in. As always, to purchase any of these photos as a print, click on it and you’ll be taken to the gallery where you can pick size and paper style. Metallic is my favorite paper right now but they all have their own place to be used and the site will even tell you what each does best.
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
There were quite a few early arrivers like myself.
Doug’s Toad and McPhail’s 41 Buick at the registration booth.
A few of the pinstripers hung out at the Go Away Garage and had a panel jam.
The platform out side of the Go Away Garage made for a great place to watch the incoming rides.
Jason and his truck have been at a lot of the same shows as I have been lately, and I’m not complaining.
Jack and his 51 leading in a few friends from the Mulvane Marauders. The 51 and Joe’s 41 Ford Pickup behind it took home 4 combined awards. The awards were hand made and painted and some of the koolest I’ve seen all year so far. Congrats to Fast AL’s Upholstery on the Best Interior award on the 51.
I just can’t stop taking photos of the Toad. Here’s some from a photo shoot for CKD magazine.
And McPhail’s 41 Buick sitting pretty.
Johnny Hammann brought out his shoebox.
Look! I found a couple of Dirty Martinis 🙂 with Larry Jame’s Caddy
Variations on a theme…
Newly finished this summer, and already one of my favorites.
Another that I’ve seen all over this year but I can’t stop taking pics of it.
That’s it for this first post, more throughout the week or you can click here and see the entire gallery.

The beautiful blue Kansas sky and the big trees of Forest Park combined to make lots and lots of harsh shadows. If I had more time at the show I would have used an off camera flash to fill in a bit, but I had 3 hours to cover a park with about 2000 cars in it… So yeah I didn’t do that 🙂
That’s it folks, that’s what I saw in my whirlwind 2013 Ol Marais River Run trip. I only had time for 1 pass around the park, so if I missed your ride, I apologize.

One of my favorite’s from the Greaserama was also in Ottawa.
Beautiful truck, the suicide hood being open is less visually offensive than if it was a regular style.
My dad’s 59 Thunderbird and our extended “family’s” cars behind it.
Frank’s beautiful 56 Chevy took home an award for best Home Built I believe. Congrats Frank! I know you’ve put a lot of time and effort into your ride!
Rick’s 57 has every option that you might want for a kool road trip cruiser and will look good while doing it.
Roger Ward’s car has looked this good for a long long time and gets driven.
Feed us, feeeeeeed ussss, feeeeeeeeeeeeeed ussssssssssss!
Pretty good stance on this shoebox
You don’t see these done up nice too often, if you’re going to take the whole tribe across country, this is the car for you.
too bad about the hood.
3rd or 4th show this summer I’ve run across this group.
Not normally my style but something about it I liked.
Keith Bright’s beautiful roadster.
Some of my Nebraska/Kansas line friends
I’ve shot Bill’s “Sledsel” for a magazine feature.
A nice adaptation of an American Graffiti style build.
See you at a show,

It’s hard for me to come up with something to say about this car and it’s owner, Doug Reed. Doug has become a great friend and mentor of mine over the last few years. He’s been covering the hot rod/kustom scene in this area for over 3 decades, doing his part to get publicity for the talented builders and dedicated car owners of the region, just as I am attempting to do now. No words that I come up with express how much I dig this car and the man that owns it.

See you down the road my friends!
Dave, she’s looking good! Can’t wait to see it all done, thanks for bringing her down for us to see the progress.
Safe travels to my friends the Jetters!
Better late than never ya hippie!
Voodoo Jim hinted that he might want to sell this hotrod. I want it.
Jeff Myers is a good friend and a hell of a kustom man. Have him make your car kool like he did mine, get ahold of him at Premier Body & Paint in Arkansas City, KS.
One of my talented upholsterer friends, Johnny Torres. Contact him at his shop here.
The Lonely Knights have to be the koolest kats on the road when they roll together.
Even more McGregors!
Aaron of Fast A.L.’s Upholstery.
After dinner a big group of us rolled to the Go Away Garage to check out the gallery.
That’s pretty much it folks! We had a fantastic time and I wish you could have been there too! Make plans to be there next year!

The family that hangs out at the cars show together…is kool.
Mickey’s Merc
15 shot HDR Panoramic of the show
One of the stars of the show. Micheal’s newly finished 34 5 Window Ford, done in an East Coast style. The 59 Olds steering wheel is the only part on the car newer than 53.
I love it!
Lonely Knights
Larry Wolfe recently brought this late 60’s Dave Stuckey creation back home to Wichita. Plans are to return it to it’s 1967 state. Back in the day Stuckey used this wild sectioned 1965 Pontiac Catalina to tow his Top Fuel Drag car. I reallly wish I could have been around to see that rolling down the road.
Clean.
The good tunes all day were provided by my buddy Everett.
Some of my favorite cars all in the same shot.
I love it Neal! Thanks for bringing it out!
Dad’s 59 Thunderbird and Ron’s Chevy Truck
Voodoo Jim’s Corn Cobb Coupe
Doc Parsons’ T is purrrrfect.
Yeah yeah yeah it’s for your wife, we know we know.

For Part 4 we’re still at the show, and we start with Aaron of Fast A.L.’s Upholstery’s Ford and Mickey’s (StrayKatKustoms’) 60 Chevrolet flattop with 60 Merc Grille and Pontiac taillights.
Joe brought this beauty out for us all to drool over.
I caught Jack unloading some chairs out of the trunk of his new 51 Ford. Body, Paint and a bunch more stuff by Chaotic Customs.
One of my favorite new rides of 2013 is Butch’s 40 Sedan.
It still rocks a straight 6 but Steve’s 58 Ford moves on down the road and looks good doing it.
All the way from Omaha, NE to Wichita to hang with us. Thanks for coming down!
The Merc grille looks good with the 51 Ford turn signal housings.
If you don’t know Gears and Gals Magazine, you need to go to their site and order an issue. You should then buy a subscription.
Good to see you again my friend, 2 weeks in a row even!
Mickey’s Merc always looks good at the Starliner.
Joe’s Caddy is a ton of fun, maybe 2 tons looking at her…
Don’s Buick is probably one of the finest anywhere.
Some of my favorite Kansas City area folks.
Jeff and Verna brought this killer Plymouth hot rod up from Texas. I am planning on shooting this car this fall. If no magazines bite on the article, I’ll post it here for all of you to see.
One of the koolest places ever to hold a car show, even though this year it was quite hot.
Another shot of Steve’s chopped 40 Ford. Again, 300,000 miles on it and he’s owned it since 1969.
Friends and family.
I’ve seen this truck in Austin and a bunch of other places, I dig it every time.
Normally not my style but the nose art on the truck matches in with the location.
The McGregors, an American Car Family.
Hub and Gloria’s “Cinnamon” is my favorite kustom ever. It’s been together since the late 80’s. It’s been in magazines before but would you like to see a full feature on it here?
McGregor cars.
U.S. Mule even came out to play.
Jeff Myers of Premier Body & Paint brought out the 59 El Camino, Johnny Torres brought out his 41 Plymouth, and you can’t see it here, but Jim Allen brought out his “Corn Cobb Coupe”
Roy brought out this beautiful shoebox. The flathead is one of the cleanest ever.

So here we are on Saturday morning at the Kansas Aviation Museum.
I backed the Galaxie up under the wing of the KC135 as far as I could to keep in the shade.
300,000 miles and still looking good.
Butch M’s 56 Chevy
Doc Parson’s T. It’s perfect in every way.
Here’s the unedited version of Danny’s El Dorado in the morning. Check back later in the week for the full edit.
The Lonely Knights show up in force! and they park under the bomber wing for morning shade and a kool look.

The 2nd stop on the Garage Krawl for our group was my friend Roger’s house. Due to it being a private property I will not mention his last name or where it is. Roger has a fantastic collection of Fords mostly 40’s of various types and a couple of Falcons and more, but his automobilia collection is equally as impressive.
Great old signs
Extra parts
Some grilles in the background behind this great plane
Dashes, grilles, and beauty rings
So the power company puts in an ugly power station behind your house and keeps building it bigger… well you’d better find a cool way to hide it from your view. This works
Everyone’s backyard should be so kool.
More yard art, some of it I might have a need for, I may have to come back and make an offer…
The chain was just laying there, but I couldn’t help shooting a pic of the cool wheel and tire.
pretty kool mag.
One wall of the garage featured license plates staring in 1913 I believe, and sequentially going up from there.
Another wall featured only 1940 Kansas plates, from 99 of the 105 Kansas counties, that’s an impressive collection.
Some great car club plaques.
Great taillight lens display
What to do with your extra plates? Why not make an American Flag? 🙂
Then it was off to Chaotic Customs in Mulvane, KS for a shop visit and some lunch. Giant hot dogs, soda, chips and some homemade cookies really hit the spot. Here’s Mike Young’s 40 Ford pickup which is being built for SEMA this year.
Some of the projects under construction at Chaotic.
Then it was off to my buddy Jack’s place for a visit. Here’s a lineup of Jack’s rides. He has a 30 year head start on me but I hope to catch up one day.
Then it was off to Big Joe’s for an air conditioned shop visit (it was a hot one that day!) Here’s a “gas station” that Joe built to hold his compressor and welders and such when not in use.
Some of the art inside the main shop building.
Then I hopped in my buddy’s Galaxie for a ride to Rocky’s shop, we had a good line of 10 or so rides on the way there.
Rocky has a pretty kool collection of Wichita area club plaques too.
and the best chandelier around.
Then it was back to the hotel for some fajitas courtesy of the Lonely Knights. Thanks for the good eats folks!
The 100 or so people in the parking lot stayed out and socialized until around midnight. So many good friends that are all really more like family than friends. This is a big reason why this show is one of my favorites of the year.
Tomorrow starts the show coverage. Click here for the entire gallery.

As I did last year, I got to the Host Hotel on Thursday evening about 7pm so that I could wake up ready to go on the Garage Krawl on Friday morning. After dinner with some friends I shot some night shots in the parking lot.
One of my favorite Mercs around.
Mickey’s Merc
Love that hood ornament
More of our friends from the Lonely Knights in Colorado
So clean, so simple
Aaron of Fast A.L.’s Upholstery’s Ford.

The next morning it was up bright and early to get ready for the Garage Krawl
Hub & Gloria’s beautiful roadster
The first stop on the tour was United Engine. Lots of kool stuff to see.

Chad’s Buick looking bad bad badass.
Sooner or later we’ll cross paths and not just your truck and I.
While I was getting my hair cut, I warned Cos he may need one, this was the response.
I dig that truck.
Denny’s Sedan looks good in any light.
Sonny’s truck is sick.
Nice work Ben Dragdaddy! Looks just like PR Eric.

Good to see you and the family Don, see ya in Wichita this weekend!
Jeremy Barrett’s pickup.
When you can’t find a v12, two v6’s will do the trick!
Interesting hard top chop. I never made it over to investigate further, but I wish I would have.
Can’t wait to see this one done!
The flush mount skirts, the lake pipes, the spots, it’s all working for me.
See I told you if I got down low you couldn’t tell that the other half of the car wasn’t shammied… oops.
I keep seeing this car this summer but I haven’t had a chance to BS with the owner yet.
Jebby’s “Nadine” and the tail end of my Galaxie. Nadine looks damn good for 200k+ miles.
Neal was nice enough to give me a lift in when I walked out to the entrance to give my dad a wristband. I can’t wait to see the next evolution of this kool truck.

For part 2 we’re still on Saturday. The show was big big big this year, I don’t feel that there would have been any way to get all of the cars and especially all of the spectator cars into the area of the old venue. It was pretty impressive to head up on the north hill of the fairgrounds to see all that the 2013 Greaserama was.
Functional kustom Like this photo?
Channeled Tall T, I like!
Clean
My ride, thanks to Jeff Myers at Premier Body & Paint in Arkansas City, KS for the kustom 60’s style paint and Clint Rowe for the pinstriping.
Looking good man!
An iconic recipe for kool
inally got to see my friends from Oliver Built Garage for the first time this year, I need to make more trips up to Iowa.
Dick’s ride again, with the hood shut as all kustoms should be 😉
I love these two rides.
It’s always good to see my good friends Dan and Sharyl Stears, see ya again next weekend in Wichita!
One of my good friends Todd C. Jones, amazing guy and artist. Look for a feature on him coming soon!
I was hiding from the rain under a canopy, my camera doesn’t like getting wet.

Man, what a great weekend! The Greaserama moved this year from it’s long time venue to a new one that was outside of KC, many denounced the move but the crowd that showed up on Saturday proved that change can be good. I’m writing an article for a magazine on the show so I’ll save most of my words of the event for that, here the photos will do the talking.
