Great pictures. I love that Kustom is written with 'K' :)

Oh, it's a long battle around this "K" by the way:

Kustom- A custom with a "K" typically designates a post '34 vehicle that has been modified in a nostalgic '50's or early '60's style. Typical Kustom modifications may include chopped tops, channeling, sectioning, tail dragging suspensions, and quite often fender skirts, spotlights, and wide white walls. A true Kustom will be limited to vehicles originally manufactured before the mid-sixties. The word "Kustom" with a "K" originated in the early 1950's with legendary customizer George Barris

The "K"'s were meant to make them stand out, different from the rest and now totally overdone.

Originally Barris did use the spelled customs with C. But when Von Dutch painted their shop sign he played a trick with them and spelled it with a K. After that it is customs with K.

As for me real custom are Kustom ;)
