WCK Los Banos

For those unaware, West Coast Kustoms used to do a show in Los Banos, Ca.  It was kind of the "low key" show to Paso Robles.  At any rate, I always really enjoyed the show.  They allowed tent camping at the fairgrounds and with that, you were always in the hot spot.  I was quite a bit younger then, and my body probably would not take a tent in the fairgrounds any longer.  There would be a group of about 10 or 20 of us, all hanging out together..  Some of those days, I would love to go back to..

More WCK Los Banos....


Mark's 57 Lincoln.  This pre-dates the forming of the Headhunters.  Mark and I had just met about 6 months prior and we all camped together with the whole Garza clan..

I do not know who owned this Buick, but I believe Tom painted it..

Tom Herrera's (Diablo)Pontiac

My post the other day sure stirred up some of the good times from the past...  For those that don't know, West Coast Kustoms used to do the Cruisin Nationals in Los Banos, Ca on Labor Day weekend.  If you really want to go back, the Santa Maria show from Paso Robles actually started out that direction at Casa de Fruita.  Anyway, this show was one of my highlights of the year.  I was lucky to live near Paso, so this drive was really kool, and I don't mean"cool".   I would usually leave Santa Maria on Thursday nght, and drive to King City for the night.  That way, I could leave King City early to get over Pacheco Pass before the ass crack of noon.  I remember wearing newer Levis one time on that drive over and stained the heck out of my white interior (body heat=sweat=dark colors bleed).
