West Coast Kustoms - Formed in 1982 for Kustom people by Kustom people, Richard & Penny Pichette had a dream and vision for a kustom car club and show reminiscent of how it was in the nifty fifties.

Now in its 29th year, West Coast Kustoms is held in Santa Maria during Memorial Day weekend, and draws friends and families to what is sometimes referred to as the West Coast Kustoms Famity Reunion.
