2012 Santa Maria Cruisin' Nationals...

The weather was not on our side this year.  Friday night the weather was cold and windy.  This morning we attended the show without all the wind but the clouds hung around most of the day.  I talked with some folks from England that said the weather was much warmer than where they are from so I guess it was not that bad.  Late in the day the clouds cleared for a while and we had some sunlight.  As you can see there were still some quality cars at the show.  I will be back out tomorrow taking more photos so check back soon.

Thursday Evening at WCK Santa Maria Inn Parking Lot...

There were a lot of very Stylish Kustoms rolling into the Santa Maria Inn parking lot tonight.  They had an evening registration by the pool and many of the Kustom legends were already present including Paul Bragg and Blackie Gejeian just to name a couple.  Tomorrow I will taking many photos of the Kustoms cruising Broadway.

The 2012 West Coast Kustoms Crusin' Nationals starts tomorrow in Santa Maria CA.  Tonight it starts for me and my friends.  Since we live in the town we just cruise down to the Santa Maria Inn and register tonight.  There should be a few cars in town by that time and tomorrow will start the mass amounts of Kustoms pouring into town.  I will be taking tons of photos so I will be posting numerous Kustoms over the next week.   

The Way It Really Was, According To My Dad...

 Not all Kustoms were chopped.

 Under construction was cool but the tires had to look good.

 People frequently ate at the Car Hops.

Kustom Chevy's...

You don't see very many of the 55-57 Chevy's as Kustoms.  I think they look great and believe more of them need to be made into Kustoms.
