Posted on June 25, 2013 by in What's New

KCB-AUG2013-HBSTORY-1I met Jim Youngs in 1995, and he has been in the middle of the kit car industry ever since.  Jim produces the best and the only kit car magazine in the county, and this month his friend and kit car expert Steve Temple wrote a great cover article on the 2013 Huntington Beach Cruise-In.
