There couldn't be a better kick-off to a kustom car show than a friday night cruising. To me it is even one of the highlights of the West Coast Kustoms Cruisin' Nationals, Santa Maria. And more than ...
There's something about this place. I don't know why but everytime I happen to be in Guadalupe, I meet great hot rod or kustom people. Remember when we came across Henry and his 1966 El Camino? Or th...

The older I get the more I like getting up early. And it seems like this development goes hand in hand with my growing interest in swap meets. Irwindale is one of the newer swap meets in Southern Cal...
