The Gila Monster...

 The Gila Monster, Mike Davis' super cool pre unit build. I was lucky enough to see this bike in person before it was loaded up and shipped to Yokohama. The bike in person just blows you away, every little bit of this bike has been touched, tweaked, re-thought and re-built. Mike asked me to make up a show sign for the bike, and it was my honor. Here is what we came up with, hand lettered on maple.

Cooler now that it's lettered...

 Neat old cooler that I hand lettered today...

T & A's

 Over the years of rooting through old farms and ranches, I have stumbled across many Ford based tractor conversions from the 1930's-40's.  Just about anything that could be fashioned from these cars, was. I've seen everything from tractors to saw mills, even line driven machine shops. It is amazing just how influential the T's and A's were in just about every aspect of life, and the blocks that modern living, is based on. And even with function, there was still room for competition...

***HAPPY HALLOWEEN***

Before and After...

 Another set of hand lettered with patina doors finished up today. Keep em' coming, I can't get enough! Every time one of these trucks go out, someone else sees it and calls for lettering of their own. This truck was brought up from Costa Mesa and had been lettered as the Rooster Cafe. Stripped off the paint, and re-lettered the truck, got to love old lacquer...

Also Today...

 Javi's 29' Roadster is about to go up for sale! If only I had the dough... Full runner, with a 37' Flatty, 39' Top-Loader and juice brakes. And look, if you make the pictures black and white, it looks like 1948! I might have to talk him into letting me letter it before it goes down the road...
