Together with my friend Ger, I travelled to Bottrop, Germany, to visit the Kustom Kultureshow. Too bad I had to work on Saturday, so I missed the dragraces, rock'n'roll bands, and most of the attending cars. But Friday was not bad either. Here are some shots to give you an impression:
^ How trailerqueens have changed since the fifties... Kind of ironic don't you think: 'Don't touch my rustbucket'. I don't like ratrods so much but this one was kinda cool.
^ The logo on the back tells us it's a Citroën. Beautiful executed and a welcome refreshment in a field of almost Ford-only rods...
^ But ofcourse old fords are cool too...
^ This guy was amazing. One Arm Bandit was present to lay down some beautiful lines. Not only crisp and tight but by far the most imaginative and original striper I came across in a long time. Beautiful designs. Oh, and he misses his right arm...
His bird is out of this world:
There were a few stripers from Japan present. Man these guys were the bomb...
Don't forget to look at my other hotrod related posts:
