This is some work from my pal Chop. He's one of the best sculptors I know.
He has done allot of work for me including those limited Gremmie figures above.
I hope he can make it to California soon.

pep boys oil can

My buddy Jon popped by last week with this killer score he found thrifting.
My reaction was a mix of "WOW-I-need-it!" and "Just don't bring this shit around cause I might buy it."
I had to pass but he's got it up on e bay.
It's soooo clean and still has oil in it!

van o the week catchup time

Missed a few weeks here. Just haven't had the time to blog lately, been in the garage working on the Satellite and hunched over my drafting table but looks like things are getting back on track. Thanks for hanging in here!

piero deluca

Well there you have it friends, Live Wire.
I was at Kragen the other day with a grocery list of random junk for the Satellite when I saw something that looked familiar on the magazine rack. I picked it up and low and behold there was Piero and LIVE WIRE.
I was so proud to see him on the cover, nobody I know deserves it more!
Congrats brother!
Check out Piero's DVD's MaD FaBrIcAtOrS!
And don't forget to order a copy of Rod & Custom! This ish also has one of my fave ROTH cars the Orbitron, fuck, I just love that odd ball car...? love it!

I was shocked to read of his death.
Ron Ashton is a guitar icon, he will be missed!
RIP Ron.
