Just a heads up for who are going to Chanute. The super 8 has had 15 rooms blocked for the convention. Please Book rooms asap for there is a graduation that weekend also and they want to make sure they have rooms for us, and what is left they can fill. Make sure you tell them you are part of the Kustom group!

Well it's official, some of the collectors have already started towards Chanute for this weekend. Last count is around 150 amps on display, some for sale, some for trading, and some for bragging rights. Everyone have a safe trip, and we'll see everyone this weekend.

Was hoping to meet up with you ChicagoBill. Maybe at the next one. I wanted to talk shop with you about electronics. I know enough to be dangerous...lol!
I was planning on bringing the mobile workbench down with me so that I could do some work on some of the old wrecks at the show. I'm talking about the amps not the attendees!
And as far as electronics goes, I know that I'm dangerous enough!
