Chicken Scratch

Rough sketch for a design that I'm workin on.

Last Chance! D-165: "Sparks and Stripes" Shirts!

I'm starting to ramp up for Autorama in a few months, so I'm gonna be doing a new run of shirts. I still have a few left (I only have M and L sizes left) so I figured i'd give you guys a chance to get em on the cheap!

$12 shipped to the US, (add $6 for intl shipping) When they are gone, they're gone.

Get em in the "For Sale" section of my website while they last!

Here they are:

Barn Find Friday: 47 Lincoln Continental Conv.

Rough for sure, but Continentals from this era are far and few between, and the fact that it's a convertible make it that much more of a rarity.

The CL Ad

Are those Fenton Sharks that I spy?? ..Might have to give this dude a call and see if I grab em ;)

Dragon Wagon!

Just finished this portrait of Daves old 63 Wagon/Panel. I've always had a thing for early 60's b-bodies, and wagons, which made this a fun one to do.

Loud Fast & Dangerous

New rough sketch of an idea for a sticker...or something. I've been really into turn of the century graphic design lately, can you tell?

HI Speed 26 "T": part 2

Looks like the build for the 26 Tall T Sedan that I sketched up for the crew at Hi-Speed is a go! Given the quality of everything else that they do, this car will be nothing shy of stunning.

Here's some rough ideations on wheel proposals: The idea is an indy inspired knock off. The "HemRod" Duece came up in discussions, so i've thrown in a chart to illustrate some indy wheel looks from simple to complex, to set a gauge for the guys. 

The initial sketch of the car:

Valentine Vodka

In one of the last drives of the season, my wife, my buddy and I took a ride over to a new spot called Valentine Vodka Distillery, right off of Woodward Ave in Ferdale MI. It was a Thursday, late afternoon so there was really no one there, which was cool since we ended up meeting the chief distiller who gave us the nickel tour and hooked up a round. The place has a cool, low-key feel to it, and the drinks are good enough to knock you on your ass if you're not keeping track.
