2026 Kustomville USA Coverage

Sept. 17-18, 2026 marked the return of KustomvilleUSA to the streets of Wichita, KS and the Cotillion Ballroom and it. Was. A. Blast!

Once again, Mrs Royboy and I were asked to organize the Reliability Run on Friday, this year we had a much shorter route at about 45 miles, but still 5 stops in total. We started at 10am on Friday and went to the Kansas Aviation Museum, the private garage of Kevin Kaiser of Kevin’s American Muffler, Plum Crazy Upholstery, Carr Concepts and we ended up at The Cotillion for the KustomvilleUSA Art Riot Preview. We had around 100 cars, nobody could really count as we added some along the way, lost some along the way and they were all almost always moving. I can’t thank everyone enough for making that such a huge success.

Later that evening we all gathered up around Artist At Large Tattoo to hang out and have some fun talking with friends, cruising and even having a nitro burning front engine dragster cackle. It was pretty dang fun. See all of that in this first video :

Saturday started early as we arrived at The Cotillion before 7am to start shooting. MrsRoyboy shot more than 500 photos on Saturday, which gave me a lot of work editing, but she got some great shots. I shot video and you can see that below.

The show is about kustom cars, traditional hot rods and early lowriders, but inside the show is about music, art and the kustom Kulture. It truly has been an amazing weekend of friends and car family from across the country and beyond.

Until next time, I’ll see you at a show,
