    How kool would it be to go to an event that celebrates the American Kustom

    What is a Kustom? I believe it is an American made vehicle that has Kustom styling between 1935 to 1964. They can be mild to wild with some or all of the following modifications; Lowered, nosed, decked mild de-chroming, shaved, scooped, frenched headlights & taillights. They can also have wild modifications like; bumper and grill swaps, headlight and taillight swaps, channeled, sectioned, extended and chopped. Kustoms are works of moving art. If you have any questions if your vehicle would qualify let me know.

    Friday (09/11/20) we will be leaving Bartlesville, OK at 9 am to go on a Kustom cruise to visit the Darryl Starbird Rod & Kustom Museum in Afton, Ok. The Starbird museum is only 60 miles away. So it is an easy drive. If you have never been you are missing out seeing all the Kustom history. I'm Blessed that the museum is only an hour away. Be sure to check out their web site. http://www.darrylstarbird.com

    Saturday (09/12/20) The main part of the show will be held in front of Stray Kat Kustoms shop & Two Tall Okies. The address is 700 N Delaware in Dewey, Ok. If we need more room we have plenty of choices to accommodate the Kustoms. Show will run until 4pm.

    Saturday afternoon, we will have our third annual Kustom Conference. We will be discussing some kool kustom related topics . If you are a Kustom nerd like myself you will enjoy the discussion. I will be posting the topics when we get them narrowed down.

    If you would like to register for the show it is $20 pre-registration, $25 the day of the show.

    Any questions please call (918)907-1477 or check out our web site. www.straykatkustoms.com

    After 18 years of primer on the chopped 46, I decided to paint her for this event. Burning daylight, but should make it. It was up there a week or so ago for the get together, and looked like a pinto pony.

    That little maroon roadster in the background looks very similar to mine. I know it's not, but that's just cool

  30. Yes. @Rikster surprised me with it after seeing pics from the roof at the Custom Car Revival one year. The angles of my car and Kurt's freshly finished Sam Barris Buick were just right to mix into the pic.
