Car Feature: Krobe's 30 Model A Coupe
At the 2011 KKOA Leadsled Spectacular I was approached by my friend Mickey of Stray Kat Kustoms car shows with some good news. Our mutual friend and fellow Stray Kat, Krobe had been asked to do a feature of his beautiful 30 Model A Ford for Car Kulture Deluxe. Mickey and Krobe had been kind enough to mention to Alan Mayes of CKD that they knew a photographer at the show that could handle photographing the car, lucky for me that was me!
Here are some of the photos from that shoot for the Issue #49 from Dec. 2011 of Car Kulture Deluxe. And a few from car shows where Krobe's brought the ride.

2013 Starbird-Devlin Car Show for Charity: A Look Back Pt. 2
In Part 1 I went through some back history of the show from my cameras up to 2010.
So now on to 2011
Something I wrote at the time:
"In the dead of winter each January it's a pleasure every year to get together with my hotrod and kustom family and spend some time inside WITH a bunch of cool cars. The Darryl Starbird Rod & Custom show in Wichita, KS typically pulls about 400 cars max for a 3 day indoor show. As the name implies rods and customs show in abundance, but so do stock restorations, survivors, 4x4's, lowriders, rat rods, and various types of racers.
A couple of very cool front engine dragsters were on display this year, as were some very nice traditional built hot rods. Traditional built rods are not rats, and this show had both build styles represented nicely. The car count and the vendor count both seemed down this year, but that was a blessing instead of a hinderance. Less cars means more room to get around the cars, and it seemed that the cars that didn't show were the ones that I normally don't shoot anyhow, so the show's overall quality went up as a result.
The Marauders and Fundamentals had great club displays with the Marauders taking home the prize for best display for their "model" car display complete with giant exacto knives and Testor paint bottles to complete the look. The Fundamentals went with a beach theme and rumor has it some Marauders may have been involved with an incident involving Baby Ruth candy bars being dropped in the Fundamentals "sand" (kitty litter). I'm not going to say where the story came from or how hard the person who told it to me was laughing when he told how they did it."

Ryno Built Shop Visit
In early November I made the trip down to my buddy Ryno's shop Ryno Built in SWMO. The plan was to shoot some video of Ryno's 1961 Ford Unibody pickup for an upcoming feature video. While I was there I found too much cool stuff to not snap a few images.
Ryno Built Shop
Ryno's Caddy was parked outside the shop, it's just a kool vehicle all around.
He's had it for years and has driven it all over the place, check your back issues of Car Kulture Deluxe for a feature on it with all of the pertinent details.
Also at Ryno's shop were a few projects. This Pro-Touring Mustang build started out with a 1965 Shelby GT350 Mustang which had been dinged up pretty well in the Joplin tornado in 2011. Most of the damaged body has been replaced, and a ton of work has been done to prep the car for it's massive tires and VASTLY improved suspension. Ryno's worked with TCI to get the suspension customized for the size of rollers that he wanted to run. You can see the finished work is impeccable, and that there are lots of areas roughed in waiting for finalizing. You can find more info on the Mustang build here on pro-touring.com
Also under construction at the shop is a 31 Studebaker President Sedan, info on the build can be found here.
Although it's moved on to a new owner this is a 63 Caddy that Ryno build a few years ago, here is a thread with more info on that build.
A smart husband makes the wife happy, here's a 60 Chevrolet Kingswood Wagon that Ryno is building for his wife, more info on the build here.
Needless to say there is a lot going on at Ryno Built.
If you need some top notch fab work done, get ahold of Ryno!
