Lone Star Roundup


	Lone Star Rod & Kustom Round Up Austin, Texas April 4-6, 2008 Pictures By Richard “Too Low” Haas 3 Pages

"The Lone Star Round Up car show has grown from a 100 car get together 5 years ago to one of the biggest gatherings in Texas, with 3 days of Swap Meet, Cruisin' the Avenue, Live Music, Garage Crawls, Breakfast cruises, and as much tire-kickin' as you can handle! With the addition of the swap meet this year it has become the "something for everyone" get together and some of us are already looking forward to next year's event! The car show is chock full of Rat Rods, Kustoms, Hot Rods, Street Rods, Competition Cars, Specialty Machines, and what we call Celebrity Hill where you can see

cars belonging to music stars, car stars, and just plain celebrities. There is continous live music (one of my favorites, James Hand played this year), and vendors and foood everywhere. I didn't get to every car there, but I did try to show a cross section of what was there. Enjoy!" Richard "Too Low" Haas
