Two years ago a bunch of my hooligan hot rod and kustom family got together for a great run through the Flint Hills of south eastern Kansas. I recently went through some of the photos and updated them with a new edit this week. Here's the blog about that day.
It was by complete random chance that I ran into the AutoFest show in Marysville, KS a couple of years ago. I had made a 4 hour trip each way to check out a shop I'd heard about outside of Omaha, NE and on the way home while I sat waiting for a pilot car for some road construction I was told of a car show just down the road.
I figured what the hell, and went to have a look. Here are the photos from that first visit.
First off, I'm not going :( booooooooooo! I did attend in 2010 and overall I liked the show. For those that don't know the show, it's Viva Las Vegas. Held every year on Easter weekend in Vegas at the Orleans Casino. I'm guessing it's too late for you to go but I'm sure that there will be plenty of coverage floating around by Monday, I'll get some of my favorites and share them with you. When I went the crowd was intense both in numbers and in the literal meaning. Sooooo
many people who were more into the rockabilly than the car show, but
hey that's kool as long as you respect the cars and the people who
build/own them. The plan this year was for a massive caravan from Wichita to Vegas for Viva then to Austin for the Roundup and back... now it looks like I'm rolling to Texas solo where I will meet up with some friends and finish the trip to Austin.
So last year I created the small 7" sq. book Instagram Hot Rods Vol. 1, the plan was to release a Kustoms edition shortly after that. It didn't happen. But now is the time!
The new 7" sq. Instagram Kustoms Vol. 1 is full of 40 pages of kustoms from the Royboy archives that have been posted on Instagram. The book is available as a soft cover, hard cover, hard cover with a dust jacket or as an ebook. Your choice!
