BIG WEEK @ KUSTOM LANE Melbourne

It's been a big week for Tony who owns Kustom Lane Gallery, the only Kustom Culture venue in Melbourne. It began with a huge opening last weekend for his Kustom Island surf and Tiki exhibition. A couple of nights of pinstriping classes with Doug Dorr (one of which I was lucky enough to attend) and continued with a party yesterday featuring Doug's striping talents, a BBQ and beer for gold coin donation, and "The Greazy Hawiians", The best Italian based surf band in the country. Heaps of cars too, Mercs, Buicks, Caddys.

Have a week off Tony, let the liver recover and come up with the next great exhibition idea.

I didn't take many pics but here's a couple. Doug striping in the dark and rain, some Tikis from Watangu (sp), Melbourne's own Tiki carver and one of my boy Eddie with his favoutite Tiki.

 

All you Aussies gone to bed already?

 

Where was this advertised??? I didnt see anything and would have loved to go! Will there be more striping classes?

Thanks for posting the photos

 

Hey Striper, I was there yesterday and it was a kik ass turnout. the Greasy hawaiians were great and my kind of people all over.

Special thanx to Doug for layin some awesome lines on my 57 wagon's tailgate. I wish I could find my camera to post up some pix.

thanks rat!

 

Tony told me all about this and I should have made the trip down. It just happened to soon for me. I hope to get down to his gallery one day. Thanks for the photos.

 

Anyone else have any pics from the weekend? I put this up hoping others may have been busier on the shutter than I was.

Frank, I'm not sure if we have met. I know we have spoken on the phone and I keep seeing your cars at things. Could you wear a T shirt that says something like "Hi, I'm Rat Bastad" or soemthing?

Was unbelievably hung over or I would have made it...=[
(as in I would not have legally been able to drive all day.......)

Tony has set up a brilliant gallery there...love the place.

MAIKI

 

Those Tiki's are cool.....it looked like alot of fun.

 

so random that i was asking for info a few hours earlier not knowing about this show. i just saw a promo poster for the show on a billboard fence in my neighbourhood while i was out for a walk/jog. doh!

 

AND the guy just brought in so much cool Gearhead magazines and gear that it will make your heads spin! Good Onya Tony!

 

Tony is really working hard for the whole "Kustom" culture scene here in Melbourne. I'm sure it doesn't pay any bills for him either. He just loves to do it.

Well done Tony.

Well, at least he made some money ripping me off...
