Rich Pichette / Alzheimers Awareness Project

I just picked up the 2010 West Coast Kustoms calendar today at the Veteran's Car show in Loma Linda.
Very nice, and the proceeds benefit Alzheimer's Awareness.
Pick one up and support the cause.
Don

 

How can someone on the other side of the country get one??????

 

http://www.westcoastkustoms.com/

 

That's pretty funny....I tried to access that site (at work) and had "ACCESS DENIED- Gruesome Content".
What are those West Coast guys up to????!!!!!

 

I'm glad you posted the link at first I thought you were talking about those dudes on TV building cars..

 

I just checked the link it works. This is the west coast Kustoms Paso Robles, now Santa Maria, shows. The money,proceeds benefit the Rich Pichette ALZHEIMER'S awareness program, Penny's husband. To me they are WEST COAST KUSTOMS.

 

What's up Roger? Glad to see you on here.
I'll get one and help out Rich and Penny. They're good people.

 

Its not to late to get your West Coast Kustoms Calendar. Help get involved in our mission to fight this terrible disease that has stricken my dad " RICH PICHETTE" as well as millions of others. Every calendar sold goes to building the Rich Pichette Alzheimers Awareness Project 1954 Mercury. go to WWW.WESTCOASTKUSTOMS.COM for more info.
Thank You

 

Ditto on that.. I almost did not even open the thread

 

Trace Edwards is also deeply involved in this.
Here is link to the Kustom Merc being built in honor of Rich.

I've got the 12 bucks plus stamps for that. A good cause and one of my favorite cars is right there on the cover.

My grandfather who was a major part of me being who I am had Alzheimer's in later years and I would believe that it is as or more devastating to those around the person that has it as it is to them.

 

I asked Ryan to change this thread title from "West Coast Kustoms Calendar" because the I feel the title has people thinkin' it's about those pimped rides.
Also, there is more going on that I didn't know about.
That 54 Merc is gonna be very cool, Awesome build team!
Help out however you can.
Thanks Ryan
