    Let me start by introducing myself. Names Derek. I own Xotic Customs in Lincoln, NE. I am really into traditional rods and bikes, unfortunately I have to take on all cars, boats, trucks and bikes to keep a custom shop in Nebraska afloat. My rides include a 54 belair and a '76 Shovelhead FLH, both going under the knife this winter.
    For my 30th birthday I am going to Viva for the first time. I'm driving the 54 and hauling the bike behind it (as they will be matching flat white bodys with metalflaked green roofs). As of now only one other rod going (chopped, channeled '39 chevy pickup). We are Leaving Lincoln on Monday April 18th and going to Tulsa, OK and partying at the Hard Rock. From there we are taking Route 66 to Vegas stopping, staying and partying where and when we want, rolling into vegas sometime Thurs.
    I'm throwing out this invite for anyone who might want to join the convoy. The more people and rods, the more fun it will be. Also need to meet some people around here with the same tastes.
    Got any questions feel free to give me a call 402-525-9929 or if you happend to be in Lincoln, feel free to stop at the shop at 27th and Ost. Hope to hear from some of ya.

    No, a vinyl shop called Auto trim was in it before me. I've only been on 27th and Ost for 2 1/2 years. I was in an old lumber yard building (built in 1923) in Firth before that. Really cool old building. We need to get some things together this summer. I really want to get the traditional rods going a lot more in Lincoln. I'm possibly going to be putting on a weekend long blues, bikes and rods thing by Lincoln this summer. Lots of bands, camping, plenty of booze. It would be great to have a bunch of traditionals show up.

    We will have to do some reporting on our way to Vegas and meet up with anyone who's going and is along the route. Just recruited a 49 & 47 Chev pickups today for the trip.

    I definitely want to meet up with this many people as possible but I've never seen route 66 and that's half the point of the trip. It may not the worth the hype but I have to be able to say I drove it
