All for the sake of progress...

Last night my buddy Brain and I pulled the hood of my F100. As I mentioned before the motor became increasingly week at the end of last summer. Well today Jacob and I pulled it out and after wiping some of the carbon residue off one of the pistons I noticed a little "080" stamped on top. That's right - she's been severely punched out somewhere along the line. So much for the "all original - never gone through" status. Not too sure what the future has in store now...

Dream truck of the week...

Hey this week's dream truck is a cool little slant cab F100 of Gary Egbert's I found on line. I don't know anything about it really other than what is visually apparent.

A mild chop, custom paint and striping, cantered quads and a tube grill.

Just a cool classic push truck...

She's after me lucky charms...

Like I've said before Shannon, as well as her family, are probably the "most Irish proud" people I've ever met. It should have come as no surprise how excited she was she found the Irish coat of arms with my last name on it.

Needless to say she is now convinced I, myself, surely has...



I mean I guess it seems to make sense - I like corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and fish. Every morning I lather up with Irish Spring. I like the Boston Celtics. And I do enjoy the occasional bowl of Lucky Charms!

Make it a Ruben...

And I'm not talking about the sandwich.

I have to say one of my favorite hot rod artists is Ruben Duran. I have plugged him a couple time on here, and there is a link to his site below. He is just amazing!

About a month ago I saw this piece:

Photoshop fun with Bad Bob's new ride...

Bad Bob recently traded his Model A Coupe for this 1938 Ford pickup:



He mentioned he will be running the Old Crow Speed Shop logo on the doors this year at El Mirage and Bonneville. Naturally I had to mess with the above picture. By combining it with this shot I took in 2008:



I came up with this:



Can't wait to see it on the salt...

Chris Hecht's first generation Scion xB concept...

I drew this up for Chris Hecht so he could see his ideas on paper. It was also used as a short tutorial on the myrideisme website, and can be seen here.

That'll buff out...

Creeping up on that mid-life crisis...

Dream car of the week...

This week's dream car is the mid 60's TV Batmobile. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big Batman fan. So it is only natural that I would dig his car.











I'm sure this will be the only one I ever own though...
