Happy in paint!


The next shop stunner. Doesn't look like much yet but just wait.

Cheese Monger

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love cheese. Last Monday we were eating at Tony Caputo's downtown and they are one of five shops in the country with a legit cheese cave. We got to sample a bunch of European cheeses I've never heard of. One of the cheeses we brought home was a double aged Gouda. This is aged more than 4 years and the lactose is actually crystalizing. Sooo tastey.

I <3 Nordic Gold

Porsche Nordic Gold is my favorite color right now. Too new for the shoebox but I'd love to paint something in this hue and add an extra coat of gold pearl.

Source Interlink Cover!!

Just found out tonight that back in August the photos I shot of the STS Corvette ended up on the cover of Vette Magazine. It's been my long time photo goal to have a cover on one of Source Interlink's publications. Source Interlink Media is the largest Automotive publisher in the world and home to the most well known auto magazines. So this was very unexpected and kind of a big deal for me. I just ordered up a few back issues so I'll post up the scans when they arrive.

Here's a link to the online article: http://www.vetteweb.com/features/vemp_0908_chevrolet_sts_zr7_corvette/index.html

Spotted...Vantastic

Spotted on the way to work, this gem of a van. Party on the outside, business on the inside. Who can blame a person from trying to add a little excitement to their driving experience. I mean nobody willingly wants to drive around in a box on wheels. I am questioning the ketchup and mustard theme though.

Good news...I'm not color blind

So I got that going for me. It's good to know I'm not color blind since I'm a photographer and graphic designer so it's somewhat important. Take the test and make sure you're not color blind.

Not gonna lie

I'm not gonna lie, sitting behind the wheel of a 450 hp V12 Aston Martin Vanquish feels pretty good. Pushing the start button on the dash and hearing all those ponies roar to life is pretty awesome. And you gotta love the feel of diamond stitch alcantara cradling you while you pull a gear from the column mounted paddle shifters. Sick.

Gilgamech

Last week Gilga sold his '63 Plymouth Valiant and had cash money burning a hole in his pocket.
He had a few projects on his wish list but finally chose a 1965 VW Bug that he found in Springville. He's pretty psyched on his new project which was already lowered via a narrowed beam up front and he wasted no time getting the back end down another 3" this weekend.

Let me introduce Gilga's new VW.

Project Check In

I made the UC rounds on Saturday to check out progress on some of the other Road Devil cars.

First stop was Rogers to see the '50 chev hardtop that Tyler is choping and getting ready for paint. And hey I actually welded up the trim holes on the deck lid of this car.


Then we headed over to Wayne's house to check out progress on his '30 Model A that has been chopped 5" and channeled a few inches over the frame. His motor is at the machine shop and he should be ready to rock in a few months. I was part of the retrieval crew that went with Wayne to pull this car out of a brush pile up near the UT ID border a few months back.

Spotted

No your eyes are not playing tricks on you. That is a "General Lee" Dodge pickup, confederate flag and all. Wow I don't know what else to say. I'm pretty confident this was not a factory option and someone spent hard earned money to make this a reality.

Just because you can...Doesn't mean you should!

My favorite shoebox of all time

Dave York's shoebox is the coolest shoebox Ford of all time and he's a he'll of a nice guy too. I met Dave at last years Billetproof show in Washington. I took this snap the first night in town before the show even started. That one car was worth the entire trip.
