Inside West Coast Customs

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Lot of haters on here I see..keep it positive guys

[SLO_Z28]

because the real shops would be to boring to watch....

Says the guy from the shop that had one of the more interesting builds on the show "Rides". Real shop, real people, really badass truck!

Hey, they do what the customers want, I don't necessarily think it's their fault for some of the bad taste of some of their high end customers. As long as their customers are happy...

are they in some sort of car customizing Special Olympics where everyone wins because they put forth some effort and they all go out for ice cream at the end of the day?
if not, then i'd say it's fair game to say that the things they create suck.

That's what I was thinking. To each his own.

I think it's pretty clear that's not how it typically goes there... the customer, often a well-known deep-pocketed star of music, sports, or whatever, says "do what you do" on this 19xx Brand X car..... and they go to work and put their crap together and reveal. They may have a bit of input (I want a kick ass sound system!) but a knowledgeable and informed car customer is not going to take their project to that shop. Period.

And these rock stars and athletes think they are getting a top level product for their 6 figures. LOL

This guy looks like he could be related to VENGEANCE:



edit: either my monitor doesn't have enough colors or someone photoshopped in that guy's hairline

[dontlifttoshift]

The only thing worse than that car is that we all keep talking about it.....

They do what they do and people pay them for it. It reminds me of George Barris.....a lot

[hdesign]

At least we know 8 year olds everywhere will LOVE it!

as long as you didnt say I could be related to THIS guy..




just look at this asholes face... look at it.. thats why i have no remorse to not slander his choice of builder, car, and clothing style..
This guy looks like a stomach ache with legs.. look at his face.. can he not make a face without looking like hes sucking a nowandlater?
Can he not make a face where he doesnt look like a ghetto librarian pedophile?.... Will I Cant?.. Will I Wont?.. make the same damn face
that strikes fear in 10 year old girls(or boys) everywhere?
Hes like a human estrogen shake.. I bet he can shoot a string of lotion out his wrist like Spiderman.. I bet hes known HARD in the streets for
starting Pillow fights.. He would be the perfect lead actor in a movie called "The Kitten Whisperer"
If him and the west coast customs guy ran towards eachother and collided there would jus be a big splash and both would be gone....
and all that would be left is a puddle of lotion n some tight ass clothes on the ground n the aroma of turmoil.

this is the guy he recently got in a fight with..



that means Willy had to come in close proximity to this guy.. close enough to touch his face.

I tell you this.. I dont care HOW much i dont like someone.. I wouldnt even approach this guy... even to hit him.



and the other guy.. welp.. hes just your average LA, tattooed, slickhaired, homing pigeon... that mutha fugga looks like he has Luigi from Mario Brothers tattooed on his shizz..
He went into the walmart of tattoos and said "ey homie, give me a tattoo of Luigi from Mario Brothers cause he represents my childhood and struggle, nahmean?"

I dont even know how much of this humans head is brain or gel... I dont know if he technically has a ring finger.. hes legally a damn Lobster with those digits he has held up.


just look.. hes telling all of you how old he is with his hand.

so YES... he would love Lightning Mcqueen..

and I thing WilIAm's nickname(judging by that photo) SHOULD be McQUEEN

[astroracer]

Removed SPAMMER content... That is all.

[go-fish]

I dont know if he technically has a ring finger.. hes legally a damn Lobster with those digits he has held up.

I was wondering the same thing. Is he a Dane Cook fan (the shocker) or was he afraid he would get his azz kicked if he threw up the real "West Side" hand sign?

I think Amir can appreciate this since he lives in the ATL but is well traveled; I used to live in the dirty Dirty, not far from New Orleans, and traveled through the ATL regularly. Living in Cali now, I see alot of people that try to act "hard". These celebs and clowns like this West Coast Customs guy with the cartoony tats would piss their pants if they were transplanted into Adair Park(ATL) or Algiers (NOLA).

Simply acting like you know what you're doing wouldn't fly, as a business model, anywhere else besides in the Hollywood set. Any surprise? They're all fake azz people in that "hip" Hollywood set.

[ModernMuseum]

Haha, A+ tirade. Would read again.

[PHXSPEED]

They did build a nice 56 Ford for the expendables. That thing was sick!

[Tom Welch]

It reminds me of a toy that you pull backwards to wind up the spring, then let it scoot across the floor of your Mom's kitchen. Definitely NOT.

[WEAVER]

Funny ^^^^ The power of Tv these days are making the general public think cars can be built in a week and look good...not

[k5warwagon]

They did a build of a 1st gen Camaro for Jimmie Johnson. They really f'ed that one up too. It got back to Charlotte and all the electronics (including the stereo) had to be replaced. The guys at Hendricks took it to Z-Max and the damn rear suspension broke completely apart and sent the driveshaft through the floor.

It seems that most shops that become mega giants (in size, not quality and rep) have a bunch of under skilled guys working for them because the shops can pay them peanuts. I used to work for a one man operation and everything was flawless, literally, before delivery. Unfortunately, it was difficult to keep customers flowing who understood the cost of that quality. I have a life outside of work so I ended up selling out to collision. There is not a day that goes by that I dont feel as if im wasting my talents. Thing is, I am able to provide for my family, am on track for retirement, and have cars built for me now. I would much rather build them myself and do it as a sole living but the money and value to an employer just doesnt seem to exist. Its almost own a shop or be owned. I mean no disrespect to any in the industry who have talent and are happy where they are. Shows like these are completely ruining things overall. Sorry I kind of went off the deep end!
