Thank for videoing Modesto California one of many many car cruise. WEST COAST KUSTOMS puts on a good one down south of California. Then you have Petaluma where they Filmed Amrican Graffiti they have an event every year this year was special it was the 50th anniversary of the movie that came out in 1972. Most of the building are still there even where WOLFMAN Jack studio was at. The only building is the dinner that was in San Francisco they tore it down shortly after the movie was made. The movie American Graffiti was based out of Modesto California, but made in the bay area. Mainly because the store's lighting looked like a junk box?

@samspace81 Жыл бұрын

Love it, thanks for sharing. What a great year for car shows. I need to check out that town too and do my thing. Met and visited with a few West Coast Kustoms members. They started their club in 1981, also when I got started 👀

@snoopu2601 Жыл бұрын

@@samspace81 yes they have been pitting on that car show/cruise since the mid 80s West Coast Kustom, they even had to move there show to Santa Maria because Paso Robles didn't want the cruise in there town any more. Keep up the great filming samspace81 your doing a great job. You must have seen more car's and trucks Kustoms than most. I remember back in the early 2000s I was a teacher's aid at are local community collages teaching welding. All the community collages wanted to shut down the welding programs in all of the collages on the wast coast of California. I and others tried to gather up signature from different business. I must have roll in all the shop's that were welding many auto body shop's got to see a whole lotta Kustoms in progress of being built. Meeting a lot of builder's/welders/mechanics. They eventually shut down all the welding programs in all of California community collages. They built computer labs. They did keep the "auto collisions" I'm glad for that. They did cut down many Auto collision classes in community collages. This was when KZfaq barely got going or I didn't know much about KZfaq or I could have reached out to many more people to keep the welding course program going. Who ever is running the college system already had there mind's made up. I felt like I didn't wast my time gathering up signatures I got to meet many many people. I know I wrote a story but I wanted to let people know California don't want the blue collar industries here in California they shut down most of them and sent them over seas for cheap labour. The town I'm next to is where they built the battle ships for WWII.
