winter..

Well its that time of year again..and I have 2 projects I have to finish. priority #1 getting the fucking Sleeze redo finished..this past year since it's been down have been super busy with work..I spent a year with out my beloved Wizard and now its time to pay my respects. I am super excited about my latest change on the bike..A Acme super narrow springer!!
Also planned are new mids set up that Carl and I will be working out.Possibly a fender and sissy bar combo,if I go that route I will put a P-pad on it so Alizah can ride..(for some reason the kid has been dying to ride with me since I took here to school on Carl's bike).
Also a possible paint redo*GASP!!

Uncle Mark..



and that hondo posted below...it was found and returned to its owner..SWEET!!

Some people are just dicks..

I never understood the mindset of a thief..Some dicks stole this bike.

still kickin'...

just been at the shop a lot lately..
which is good work keeps steadily streaming in.
The Tundra is almost done. SEMA is locked in just have to pick who gets it.I'm glad the tundra is going cuz I could use a week in Vegas just to get the hell away from the shop.
This got dropped off today..and I must say this lit'l fucker rips..

Never thought we'd be getting into painting exotics.
I feel pretty lucky to be where I'm at in my painting life.Guess it does pay off to bust your ass.

oldies in random places...

Its about damn time...

memories of my childhood come to mind when I see the original..My dad taking me to see it on one of the rare occasions he was around. So being a huge fuckin' nerd I have been waiting for the sequel of this film to see the light of day after the first leak of it even remotely being made back in '94.Thats a long ass time to wait and this shit better live up to it..
Yes I can't wait..

heavy rotation...

the Stude is gone...

Been working on this thing for 3 months..Got striped to bare metal,primed,blocked, painted,and polished..
I must say I am glad to see it go..Hate the color..





This took the Stude's place in the shop..A 1936 Graham Hollywood,only 1800 ever made.This one is in perfect shape but the owner hates the color..whatever i love this car just the way it is.

classic cuts...

HoTT SHiT a band described as "the most vulgar band to ever grace the stage"(Rawk magazine '04).
Their debut and only album "Steppin' in" HoTT SHiT was called "a turning point for bad music that was oh so good" (Bland Turner NYCunt mag 04)
HoTT ShiT was made up of 2 knife wielding mace induced basement recording artists that never revealed the faces and it is still unknown as to who they are. Rumors and speculation still float around the trash rock scene about these now legends of trash rock.
Said to have been supposedly killed in back alley knife orgy after leaving the stage at hamburgs legendary Fruchtbar,but the story was never confirmed.
Recently their debut album has found its way to the internet check it out here

Today...

was my day of birth and today sucked...Bad attitudes abound...
now for something that doesn't suck..

Nothing to report...

so check out this lid I did for Tip Top Daddy awhile back..

The "Mogwai"

picked up another bike..or should I say another 360.
That makes 3 of these little bastards. It needs a bit of TLC but nothing that isn't doable to have a good rider after this weekend.Things to do:adjust timing,clean up the hacked together wiring, sync the carbies,and check the valve gap.
The wife finally figured out the paint,I let her handle that on our bikes as I am too damn indecisive.

I plan on riding this over to the R4YL in August so it has to be right and tight before the 500 mile round trip.

The other 360 is getting a fresh motor,hand made tank and tail courtesy of my boy Thom at GodSpeed,man I love having a skill to use and barter material,frsh powder on the frame,new seat,bars,and whatever else I come up with between now and next spring.I'm keeping this one a 2 up bike as my oldest likes to ride. So Momma will have a scoot to ride and Munch and myself will also,Now only if Bird was old enough...
The "Pinche Honda" as she now sits..


and here's a deck I just finished..

My boy Mike...

Is a nut and always has been..His latest..

Muzik...

My former bandmates Racebannon are dropping a little 12in. It being a bit of a depature of what fans may be used to but I personally love the way the band grows and continues to change it up. Experimentation has always been something we've been into.
Check out a remix . And while your at go to joyful noise cuz the boys are going on tour in July..

This week is gonna suck!!!!

Finally found a donor bike to yank the heart out of for the wife's CJ360 build.Picked it up today and started getting things in order...Now this is the part that suck tomorrow morning I will be walking into to HELL. 1 IRL can and 3 days to do it...Fuck I hate those things..
And for a pic of Senior Carlos' tank..I don't know who took the pic but its the best pic of this paint job I have,so thank you photog I don't know..enjoy

Sans technology...

That's right kiddies' been layin' off the interwebs and even the phone!(gasp)
but since you keep coming back and have to watch the same shit over and over and over.I'll freshen it up for you..

The past controls the future...

I always read on some forum about how everything has been done before when it comes to building bike,this being after some douche get's butt hurt that "their" idea was ripped by someone else.
Well guess what it has all been done.
Its what happens in a an artistic culture..
here are some music examples of how the past dictates the present..












now get over yourself...and just create something.

Now for something totally unrelated...via James.

work,work,work...

That's all I seem to do lately...It wouldn't be half bad if I could get some of my bikes finished..
On top of buttoning up the AMC resto I have to start on the Studebaker,finish a 2001 Reynard resto for a customer in Canada,and then start a frame off on a 70 Chevelle...
Oh and more lids..Damn and a '36 Graham Hollywood.Wow, that is an eclectic group of cars..
well atleast I have been given a work release to go work on the beeza tomorrow night and hopefully thursday..Will it be alomost a bike again? I fuckin' hope so cuz if I don't get my knee in the breeze soon I may have to go on a crime spree..

Congrats!!

To Ed and the Vision Racing team for qualifying 8th in this years 500..
Look for the Fuzzy's car sitting in the middle of row three.

me time...

Things have slowed to normal around the paint shop atleast for now..
So I had some time to finish up somethings.
But I can only show you one of them until I deliver the other two.



and one for the haters..
