Saturday, Saturday, Saturday...

Saturday night after the Ventura Nationals Car Show. My buddy Brian Thompson is making his speedway comeback, and I wish that I could be there to see it. There is so much happening this weekend, and I am going camping. Not that I am bummed to go camping in the Sierra's, I can't wait, but I just wish all of this other stuff was going on next weekend...

LA this weekend...

Dean and Matt + Dixie & Great Frog = Opening party this weekend...

Or,if you happen to be in Brazil...

 I met Fabio of Rock 'n Cycles this year at Born Free 3. He turned out to be a real solid dude, and I started to follow his 50 day trip through America and Canada on his site (incredible). This week his shop is opening, looks like a great party, and the pictures of the shop look amazing! So if this week you find yourself in Brazil stop in. If not, look at it all here http://rockncycles.blogspot.com/

Oh my...

Sometimes in life you re-think your path, if I had only... Man it would be so nice to just be able to buy something rad and done. It would be so much easier, but then again? Both of these super rare Napco 4x4 Suburbans are on eBay now.

Just finished Biltwell...

 Biltwell Helmet that I just finished up. The owner wanted a headdress motif, and let me go my own way with that idea. The flat red helmet was a great canvas, that allowed the gloss paint to really pop... *Just a side note,  I always have the best of intentions when it comes to photographing my finished jobs,,, but then always end up shooting them on the hood of the car with my i-phone. I guess I'm a painter and not a photographer, or perhaps just impatient. Anyhow, you get the idea...

A&W - 21st St. Drive-In

 Some old pictures of the Paso Robles A&W / 21st St Drive-In. So many great times at this place. For many years, one of the hubs for the KKOA Car Show. Just an overall great meeting place. The city of Paso Robles, under the wise leadership of Jim App (the same brilliant man who spearheaded the removal of the Kustom show) sold the ground out from under the historic drive-in, with no option to keep it open. A local bank bought the land, leveled the drive-in, and for some years now, the land has sat empty with a fence around it. A real shame, one less piece of true Americana, and no more French Burgers!!!

Reckless Kelly tonight...

BORN FREE 4, Here we go again...

Just minutes ago Grant posted the announcement that there will in fact be a Born Free 4. June 30th at the same venue, Oak Canyon Ranch. Great news, and now the work begins... Also, the boys have bought a very beautiful survivor 1969 generator Shovel, and are asking the question, should they leave it alone, or build it. Go to their site http://bornfreeshow.blogspot.com/2011/08/born-free-4.html and weigh in.

Pancho's Surf and Skate, Pismo Beach...

 Stopped into Pancho's Surf & Skate in Pismo Beach today. I had never been in before, and man was I surprised. Nice shop, but the pre 1980's skateboard collection, is like none I have seen before. Very impressive! Oh and the surfboard collection is also quite huge, almost as large as my buddy Hauns' collection in his barn (someday I will take pics if that). If your ever in the area, check it out...
