As most of you already know, Lordz of kustomz first open its doors about 13 years ago, I grew up in one of the nations most feared neighborhoods, South Los Angeles, ran the streets as a young kid, never asked any one for anything, every bike, every car I owned was built by me, when I opened my shop I was told I would not last,, I have no employees, but I do have kids that I pull off the streets to give them the chance to life that no one ever gave me, some of these kids have never been outside the 20 miles radius that surrounds this hood do to rival gangs, so when ever have the opportunity to take them with me to shows, events, or just pick up parts, they jump on it, well the reason Im writing this is because I love what I do, not just the cars I build but the smiles I bring to these boys, knowing that the hr or two they spend here at my shop once a week might be the hr I kept them from getting into trouble or even getting shot just for hanging out on one of our street corners, .. But like I said Im a one man shop and can only do so much, when these kids are here I feed them lunch, drinks, I have to fix there mistakes and yes it adds up,.so now you ask why the picture with the spray gun,, well if you see all the pics I post all of the tools are old broken down tools, my spray guns is as old as my business, A few years ago I asked a few big companies if they would care to help out with what I do with the kids with some type of sponsoring since they do it for all these big name shops who dont do nothing for there community, I figure that they wouldnt mind helping out, well they did they sent me a huge box of stickers with there logo, and other one sent some basket balls and foot balls,, thank you but I cant do nothing with stickers and the balls well nice, but we need stuff for the shop to keep these boys wanting to come back, safety glasses, gloves, whatever , so I kinda gave up on that knowing that no one cares about the kids in south central, but a few days ago I was talking with a very good friend whom I have never met in person about this Mr MIKE LAVALLEE from THE Original KILLER PAINT INC. two days later I receive this beautiful spray gun donated by #IWATA so I like to thank them by posting this up, but mostly MIKE LAVALLEE ,BIG THANK YOU FOR Taking the time to listen to my cries for help,, MUCH RESPECT,,
