Royboy's Weekend Update!

On Thursday this week I announced that I'll be giving an award away at the 2013 KKOA Leadsled Spectacular. Included in that announcement was the initial list of sponsors that are kind enough to add to the prize pack that will accompany the award.

Coming up at this year's KKOA Leadsled Spectacular...

Chad Kolman's stunning 47 Buick at the 2012 Leadsled Spectacular, this ride won the coveted 777 Award last year.

The first stop of the day was at Chaotic Customs in Mulvane, KS. Here are some of the working trophies that the Chaotic staff made for the Showdown in The Valley show that was happening in Mulvane this weekend.

Vehicle Specific Galleries

A while back someone asked me if I had a way to search for a specific kind of car on my website. I don't. It would take a tremendous effort to go back now and label each of the 36,000 images as to what the cars are. So I decided to try to find a work around. The solution for now is having Vehicle Specific Galleries. The goal here is to gather up images of similar cars so you can quickly and easily see many different ways that each body style can be done. The hope is that you might find inspiration in these photos and go build something of your own to enjoy.

Right now I just have 3 up:
 Ford Shoeboxes (1949-1951 Fords)

 

Mercury Kustoms

One of the most iconic kustom platforms has been the 49-51 Mercury since long before I was born.  The car just lends itself to a chopped top, a low stance and some skirts. While these are not required for a kool Merc they are seen on more Mercs today than not.
