Custom



           Car Show



           Winners






            It seems that every year there is someone that stands out with
            their custom creations. This year was no exception. With some
            customizers it takes years to get out of the Amateur category. In
            this case LB - Chikahiro Yamanouchi from Japan entered his very
            first U.S. convention custom contest and he took 1st place in
            Amateur Mild, 1st place in Amateur Spicy along with Best Paint.
            Now that’s what I call cutting up the competition. Amateurs can
            be happy they won’t have to compete against him any longer.
            As for the Pros...whew...good luck. Congratulations LB...your
            customs are very impressive...and very original.

            Thank you Connie Basham for the help on this article.
