Beatnik Blowout and Ventura Nationals

I'm off to see some Customs this year, check in after these shows for some photo coverage of them! Maybe you already have seen that the Beatniks of Koolsville have among their hot rods and customs the member who is the lead singer of Metallica, James Hetfield. The 3 or 4 vehicles that I've seen that he's had made are incredible http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Metallica I'm guessing that the other cars in the Beatniks of Coolsville club are on par

I photographed this at SEMA, but the lighting was so lousy there, and these turned out much better, at the Grand National Roadster show they appreciate space around the cars to allow for photogrpahy, and it keeps people from getting close and touching the cars, without stantions and ropes. These photos are far better than the SEMA shots: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/james-hetfields-boat-tail-speedster.html
