Calendar Update:

I took all of the calendars with me to Dewey as I usually have a bunch of folks that pre-order them and then pick them up in Dewey. This year A LOT of people bought on the spot in Dewey. This weekend alone 48 sold, in the previous 3 weeks of online pre-sales 72 were sold, so this was a huge 1 day jump. As of right now there are 11 Kustoms editions left, 19 Hot Rods, 28 Trucks, 7 Stray Kat Kustoms and 28 Greaserama. That’s it, when they are gone, they are gone! The pre-orders started shipping yesterday with another batch going out today. Shipping costs are more than I predicted but I will cover the envelopes/boxes/labels out of my pocket to make sure as much of the money goes to the charities as possible.

I also had a friend from Texas ask about doing a special edition calendar for his group to sell, if that happens and if they are open for any of  you to buy a copy I will let you know so that you can see them and have a chance at those. If you would like a special edition calendar made of any 24 of the photos in the over 40,000 photo library of Royboy Productions, let me know. For 100 Calendars it’s only $700 plus shipping to your door. You can sell them at $10 and raise money for a charity, or whatever cause you’d like. Send me a message here for more info.

See you at a show.

Event Coverage: 2013 Stray Kat Feed Part 3

The first time I went to the Feed it was just about the last event of the year, this time I have 5 events after the Feed including my own Mid Decembrrrr Run. This coming weekend is the first of 2 trips to Texas this month, plus one to Denver on Thanksgiving weekend.

The Stray Kat Feed this year attracted its normal group from as far away as Arkansas and us from central Kansas, a bunch showed up from Tulsa that I don’t remember seeing before.

Event Coverage: 2013 Stray Kat Feed Part 2

Saturday started early after a late night partying then making calendars until 5am. All of the calendars got finished and I got 2 hours of sleep before it was time to load up and head for Dewey for the Stray Kat Feed. Now as I write this (Sunday evening) I’m still exhausted but it was so very worth it!

Event Coverage: 2013 Stray Kat Feed Part 1

Every year on the first weekend of November a bunch of folks gather in Dewey, OK the home of the Stray Kat 500 for the Stray Kat Feed. The street is blocked off and we shove as many hot rods and kustoms into the blocked off street as we can and enjoy a potluck style lunch. It’s a great way to gather one last time for the year with the rest of the rod/kustom family and get some quality time together before the weather turns cold.
Here are some cell phone photos from the day, more from the big camera will come tomorrow after I get home. Hope you have had a great weekend!

A Fun Weekend February 2-3, 2013

The weekend started off with a trip to Park City, KS to attend the Wichita Model A Club’s annual swap meet.  As usual, lots of people, lots of vendors and I left with nothing. It was a trip to just see some friends and socialize for me. By mid-afternoon I’d headed for Joplin to meet up with Ryno of Ryno Built and shoot his amazing 61 Ford Unibody pickup.

Ryno has a few projects going on, this intake and triple 94 carb setup are for his wife’s 9 passenger wagon, which lays frame of course. 🙂 More pics of it next time.

Not long after arriving we grabbed some great BBQ at Woody’s Smokehouse BBQ and headed out in search of shoot locations. The flake in the new paint job looked spectacular.

We found some great spots and shot for a couple of hours experimenting with different shooting angles, techniques, locations. So far from the back of the camera we captured some great images.

Sunday morning we got up early and went back out to capture some more images. We explored a bit of Route 66 looking for good locations and ended up heading back to downtown Joplin where there were a few places to hit.

Then we headed out for a late breakfast. Headed south from downtown we went through the damage path of the horrible tornado that hit Joplin in May of 2011.

The roads southeast of Joplin were great and beautiful even in the winter, I imagine in the fall they are even more beautiful.

We ended up at the Under Cliff, great food, great location, and great roads leading to it. The breakfast was really really good.

Obligatory Povertyflats food shot 🙂

Then it was off to Dewey, OK to visit Fast A.L.’s Upholstery. Aaron has been working on Jack’s 51 Ford and it’s turning out amazing. Look for more info on the shop visit later this week and a full feature (or series of them) in some magazines coming soon!

The end of the trip was a stop at my Dad’s to pick up my dog. Dad had found some great little book magazines and gave them to me. A really kool ending of a great weekend!

See you at a show,
