I'm confused, I've seen alot of Von Dutch's work up close as my ex's father was a contemporary of his. I don't remember seeing those cars, pictures of those cars, or him ever doing a tiki. Are these put out by Von Dutch Industries in a interpreted Von Dutch style or are these replicated from actual cars he painted? Von Dutch Industries is evil in my book. Von Dutch's carvings and etchings were just as incredible as his pinstriping...

I agree. I have seen Von Dutch's work also, when it was on tour with Robt Williams and Ed Roth in '93 and have been a fan of his since. I purchased a few shirts and a jacket from the website about 4 years ago. The service was horrible. Now that I see Brittany Spears' dogs wearing Von Dutch clothes, it's kind of lost any Kustom Kulture meaning to me. Kind of feel sorry for Von Dutch. I don't think this was the direction he was headed and he can't defend himself against this exploitation.
-my two cents
