Welcome to my knowledgebase. This is a place for me to put "stuff". Whether it be my stuff or stuff I find along the way. The only excuse I give for flagrantly copying content from other sites is that I recognise it's value to me and that it has been my experience when I'm finally wanting to use that information, inevitably it's no longer available or the link page I had kept has moved to another domain, or has disappeared altogether. If you have a problem with me presenting this content from my pages, please take it as a form of flattery.

Kustoms Kustoms are modified cars from the 1930s and early 1960s done in the customizing styles of that time period. The usage of a "K" for "Kustom" rather than a "C", is said to have originated from car builder George Barris (although it is not confirmed). These cars can also be referred to as custom cars, leadsleds or sleds. |
