Event Coverage The Sit Down 2014 @ Gambino Kustoms

I couldn't find the thread that contained the event coverage from The Sit Down that happened today. If there was already one started, my apologizes, but if not, here you go.

The Sit Down” in San Jose, California is one of the West Coast premier invitational events. The notorious Alex Gambino of Gambino Kustoms is the one responsible for the coordination of the event. It wasn't uncommon for Alex to zip by you on his bike while bobbing a weaving $20K+ paint jobs on his way to assist with parking. With a strong team of family, employees, friends and volunteers the show ran like clockwork. From bordering states, to so cal, and surrounding cities, everybody who was anybody in the scene was there. It really felt more like a homecoming or a family reunion than a car show. Small groups were congregated sharing frosty beers, smokes, and laughs. To be honest, from a promoter standpoint this show was very refreshing. The kustom car culture has really taken off again the last five years, and I couldn't be any more excited because these guys and gals are the real deal. They may not look like your typical gold chain wear street rodder but that’s what I think is so attractive about their community. Alex and Gambino Kustoms is doing special things in automotive world and if he keeps being so hospitable to his guests this event is going to explode.
