Happy Again

Well if you notice the header picture and the title have changed. Thanx for the help Mark, and I am still trying to find a way to get you the pictures from my camera

Arrrrrrgggghhhhh

It's a crime to steal in any form. Rob a bank, get caught go to prison. Hold up the local 7-11 get caught go to prison. But if you use some "file sharing"software and steal some music and get caught they make you pay. I say send them to prison, they are thieves no different than the bank robber or 7-11 hold up guy or girl. Musicians make music, it is how they make a living, stealing it is stealing from them. Yea I know they make a shitload of money for playing music, but stealing it doesn't make it ok. Download but pay for it, better yet go out and buy it, it helps the musician and the local record store. Wow did I just say record, damn I am old

Frustrated

I have a bunch of new pictures on my camera but I can't get them from my computer to this one. I moved them to a Memory stick and loaded them on this computer. Pretty easy right?? Nope, then I could not load them to this blog, it said "server error'?? WTF
Then  Mark Garza from  Stylish Kustoms (http://www.stylishkustoms.blogspot.com/) sent me a new picture and header for my blog but it is too big and I can't get it to re size to fit my blog header. On a good note, I got my baby (my 54) home last night. Finally slept good

It Worked

I caught a break and Baby Maye is back on the road. The failure was a leak thru the back of the motor thru the main seal which caused my baby to puke up all her oil in the parking lot of Nipomo Park. Lesson learned-- No More Hot Rodding- leave that to the real hot rods not us Kustom guys. Big thanx goes out to Hapo and the rest of the Touch Of Style crew for getting her home that day and to Hapo for finding the problem and fixing her

R.I.P

 Longtime Guadalupe resident Clarence Minettie died from injuries suffered in a head on car crash. Minetti was an Icon in the area and a true gentleman. He owned and operated The Far Western Restaurant until recently turning over the operation to his children

I worked as a busboy at the Far Western when I was younger. That was the first job I had growing up and it paid well back in those days. We would make 20-30$ in tips a shift, plus your hourly wage. Made enough money to buy my first car -1961 VW and ended up fixing that car up, but that is another story. Clarence was a good man, always had a smile and a hello for everyone.He did alot of good for the community and for youth recreation in Guadalupe and the surrounding area. He was a nice boss as far as I remember and treated us good. The last time I saw him at the Far Western was about a year ago sitting at the bar having a drink, tequilla and water. He said hi and bought me and my lady a drink tipped his hat and out the door he went with his wife. I never got to tell him thanx for the drink cuz I didn' know he bought it for us until I paid my tab. Thanx Clarence, for the drink and for everything you did for the area in your lifetime.

Chevy Love

Built in the Midwest, this car had some nice Kustom touches

Classic look, Viejitos lining up for Primer Nationals, Ventura Ca

Style Kings

Richie Vallez built Chevy, this thing is gorgeous and has been copied a few times

This car was for sale on E bay a few years back,

The lovely Darling Danica along with an awsome 54 Chevy. My car is finally at the shop so I am sending out some Chevy love in hopes of getting some good news and finding out it is an easy inexpensive fix. I need some good Karma right about now

Babes and Hoodlums

Kustoms are for getting girls, Hot Rods are for getting away from them
