Kustom City Needs You!

In 2012 I received a call from my friend and mentor Doug Reed asking if I’d like to be a part of a display at the 2013 Starbird-Devlin show in Wichita. He was assembling some cars to be a part of a Kustom City display showing off kustoms to the folks that attend the show. For decades Wichita had a rich heritage of kustoms and in recent years the kustoms weren’t exactly featured at the show.

Artist At Large And Friends Art Show

On Friday night Feb. 28th at the Go Away Garage in Wichita, KS I saw more kool art than I can even describe. Artist At Large had a gallery show with friends from all over the country at the Go Away Garage.

Here are some cell photos of the event.

See you at a show,

Event Coverage: 2014 Starbird-Devlin Part 6

Final post of the 2014 Starbird-Devlin Show Coverage!

John recently got this bad ride back in his collection. I could tell how proud he was to have it back. I hope to do a feature on his collection soon.

Here are John’s 2 entries in the show. I can’t decide which I’d rather drive, but my heart says take the yellow one. I know it has a big block 🙂

Alongside John’s cars is Butch’s 56. This car has been all over the last few years and Butch has sure done his best to find all of her weak links.

I need to catch up with the owner of this car. It’s damn cool!

One of a few highly finished Camaros at the show.

There have been a few new to me orange hot rods around lately. I wouldn’t have thought it was a great idea but it works! Another great looking ride that needs a feature on this site!

A couple more photos of Floyd’s killer Edsel Wagon.

Stray Kat Proud. Ron Myers pinstriping on Floyd’s Wagon’s surfboard.

More Ron Myers pinstriping in the door jambs and some of Aaron’s work from Fast AL’s Upholstery.

Hot Rod Garage’s build of this 57 Chevy took home the Magnificent 7 Award at the end of the weekend.

Not much I can say about this gorgeous drop top. It’s pretty damn nice.

Another shot of Troy Pate’s killer new rod.

One of Norm Grabowski’s unique shift knobs in Troy’s display.

Eugene Vik brought his kustom shoebox down from Minnesota to show off for us.

Primary Club members rides. The McGregors have a lot of kool in their garages.

Jeb McGregor’s coupe 38DD. This rod is all about attitude, Jeb said he might be re-doing it soon as more of a 50’s style hot rod. so I’m paying attention to see what he’s up to.

Matt Smith’s kool pickup will be in front of my lens again soon… 🙂

Joe McGregor’s Caddy has been one that’s caught my eye for a few year years now. Most times when this car is on the road on the way to a show, it’s usually full of people. Fill it up with folks and fuel and go enjoy a car show weekend.

Chaotic Customs has a big crew and the girls decided that they needed their own kool ride to take to the shows. So this Thunderbird was built, kustom paint, flame throwers, and some kustom body mods make this Chaotic ride stand out.

Some great panels in the Chaotic Customs display.

I was wearing one of my Model A Hot Rod Stencil T-Shirts this weekend and had a ton of people ask me where they could get one. Here you go! I have a few in stock now and I’m taking pre-orders for the next batch. The long and the short of it is that I can’t spend my cash buying these shirts to have them sit in stock, that cash has to go into the traveling account to get me on the road to a few more shows. If you want one, get one ordered! Every shirt you pre-order will allow me to get down the road farther on the way to the next show! Click here to go to the order page.

Goren’s 48 Merc. He took home a couple of awards on Sunday.

Micheal’s Coupe was also an award winner.

Micheal’s ride as with anything that he owns is all about the details. He was one of the founding members of the legendary Fundamentals club.

Corey Conyers made it a point to bring me over to see this beauty that he’s been working on. I hope to be able to shoot it soon.

Another shot of Corey’s latest creation.

See you at a show,

Royboy

Event Coverage: 2014 Starbird-Devlin Part 5

There will be some duplicate cars here as I made multiple laps around the show with different lenses at different times.

Mike’s Front Engine Dragster, I’m looking forward to getting some shots of it running this year.

Mike’s Camaro is an interesting mix of old and new.

Interesting tail light treatment with the 54 Chevy tail lights canted at an angle.

Don’s Big Beautiful Buick. I hope to be be able to shoot it for a feature soon.

My friend and mentor Doug Reed’s 49 Oldsmobile The Toad.

Hub and Gloria Harness’ beautiful 1960 Olds Invicta named “Cinnamon” One of my favorite kustoms.

Johnny Hammann’s 58 Chevy has been pretty much unchanged since January 1976.

Larry James’ awesome Caddy. I have shot this for a feature, hopefully soon we can get together and get the story written so I can share it with all of you.

Event Coverage: 2014 Starbird-Devlin Part 3

2014 is the 3rd year of the new ownership/management of this show and it seems to be getting better and better. The contenders for the Magnificent 7 were amongst the best the show has ever had. Late in the evening I finally started shooting some photos, some of which you saw yesterday, here are some more…

It’s not the traditional style that I enjoy but there’s a certain something that it has that just makes me smile.

Matt’s pickup was swamped with people all weekend.

Event Coverage: 2014 Starbird-Devlin Show Part 2

Saturday of the 2014 Starbird-Devlin show was packed. Packed with cars, packed with spectators, packed with friends. Most of my day was spent hanging out with friends and family. I kept waiting for the crowds to die down so the photos would look better, plainly said, it never happened.

Enjoy the photos 🙂
