Event Coverage Royboy Goes To the 2015 KC World Of Wheels

First off thanks to RJay’s Speed Shop for sponsoring this week’s coverage of the 2015 KC World of Wheels show! Because of Cory at RJay’s I’m able to offset some of the big travel costs of the Detroit trip in a couple of weeks, I appreciate it!

The Kansas City World of Wheels show has something for everyone. The Cavalcade of Customs is my favorite area but I may be a bit biased. The Los Punk Rods area was also pretty cool with the guys showing off the variety of rides that the members have. Lowrider magazine even had a huge section this year. I’m not a huge lowrider fan but the craftsmanship that it take to build some of these cars is truly impressive. We start the coverage this week with the Cavalcade of Customs display put together by Jack Walker.

Steve & Carol Albers’ 40 Ford. They’ve had the car since the late 60’s and have put over 300,000 miles on the odometer in that time. Great people that I’m glad to call friends.




Bill’s “High School Dropout” Merc. Bill is always fun to hang out with at a show, and has one of the koolest garages I’ve ever been in.















































That's it for part 1, more tomorrow. I'm posting the Tulsa Starbird shots on my site this week and I'll get them up here next week.
See you at a show,
Royboy

 

Always great photos,thanx.

 

Thanks, Travis, a shot of home is always welcome, but not the weather!

Did they have the indoor swap meet this year?

 

Thanks for your efforts.
Looking forward to seeing more pics, keeps us outer towners entertained.

 

Travis, great eye as usual. Love seeing your coverage. Thanks for sharing.

 

Do you know any history on the orange A?

 

L3arrWy, or whatever his name is, and I are patiently waiting.

 

Thanks folks, I got caught up recording my podcast last night so I forgot to update. As soon as I get in front of my laptop again I'll give you another dose!

 

A lot of really nice Mercury's . HRP

 

I had to cut quite a few non-HAMB friendly cars out of this post. Go to my site to see them all .
More tomorrow, see you at a show,
Royboy

 

I didn't see one.

You're welcome, thanks for checking them out.

Thanks!

Ha! I just posted some more and I'll get some more for you tomorrow!

Yeah a bunch of nice Mercs!

 

Travis: In the pic of the '53 ?? chevy p.u., there is a white, looks like 33-34 Ford cabrio in the background...do you have a pic or know what it was? (funny I should ask?) Tim

 

Patience... tomorrow's post has a bunch of pics. I'm not in front of my laptop or I'd show ya now. The shots are on my site if you want to see them now.

 

Come on man, I'm not Larry! Thanks, I'll be watching.

 

Like! Thanks !

 

Starting with the last post (Part 2 here) I was in the middle of the Los Punk Rods display area at the show. I’ve been friends with a bunch of the LPR folks for a few years now, this was my favorite display of theirs at this show that I can remember. Bikes, shoeboxes, vans, kustoms and hot rods, it was right up my alley.







I first saw this ride 3 years ago in primer, great to see it back here and put together. I’m hoping to do a video feature on it soon!









Each year Labor Day weekend is Greaserama time in the KC area. For info on the show go to greaserama.com or click here to see my 2014 coverage.




































Loooooved this chopped 57 Chevy wagon with a Buick front end on it. So friggin cool!










See you at a show,
Royboy

 

Cool coverage, Travis! Thanks.

 

Nice pics! I see some Omaha cars in the mix, Rob

 

Thanks gents! More to come when I get back in front of the computer!

TwoTall Okie threatening to paint anyone who got too close. We’re checking on having his meds adjusted.




Shawn Spiwak working on a kool flyin’ eyeball piece.








Hot Rod Huey had this killer steel pinstriping piece. Click here to see more of his amazing work.



The KC World of Wheels has, like I’ve mentioned, all kinds of cars. Certain parts of the show are definitely more my style than others. I’m including all of the other parts because I want to show off the entire show, something I don’t normally do. Lucky for me there were some awesome rides like the Henry J above!











More to come
See you at a show,
Royboy

 

I love checking out your kool event coverage. I need to get back up there and see it for my self.

 

Thanks my friend! Thanks for being on the podcast this week as well! Some audio issues in another section of the show again this week, I'll have it fixed for the next one! It only affects about 5 minutes of the hour but it bugs me!

 

Yes, beautiful little hot rod.


Thanks for the coverage Travis.

 

nice pics,thanks for sharing.............

 

Great shots... LOVE that color:

 

are you coming to World of Wheels in Omaha this weekend?? my flamed black 40 Ford is in show with the Midwest Street Rod Assoc club display. bunch of nice cars but I bet some that were there making the circuit.

 

I'm hitting the Park City Chill in the Wichita area tonight, the plan was to get up and head to Omaha in the morning. Now with a few inches of snow in the forecast, I'll make the call at 7am. If I go I'll be there around 1pm and I'll be back home tomorrow night.

 

Wow, your w.o.w. is cool. the one in Birmingham is mostly tuners and billitt barges. Lucky.....

 

I did leave out all of the stuff that doesn't pertain to the HAMB there's a ton more there, I just never focus on it too much.
