Im in the process of creating and launching a website for my studio. The items that are featured will be the carbon purses, helmet painting, custom airbrushing, and artwork.
In the mean time, if anyone is interested in those products/services, let me know.
For us it will be Boondockers Streetrods show. That gives me enough time to finish my epic motor build.
Ill have to look into the vintagetorquefest though…I have a ton of automotive artwork Id like to sell.
Also, here is a pic of the carbon purse with an Impala logo.

Here are a few pics of the new skill set/product/service: custom paint with silver/gold leafing.
Its actually a wedding cardbox that I fabricated from a motorcycle gas tank.

santa screwed me over…I spent Sunday in bed with an icepack over my face because my sinus reconstruction surgery got infected (basically a sinus infection of epic proportions).
Other than that, was a nice xmas eve with family.
Here is a cg rendering of the carbon purses Im now producing.

IMO, unless its an A/V show, stereos and screens should remain off. And keep the porn at home (or bachelor parties lol). Although Ive been to a few shows where I was asked to remove some of my airbrushings…which is a whole different conversation.
As for music blaring and such…I get equally annoyed by rednecks in their 5.0’s blasting their hick country crap. Present company excluded of course. (Just kidding of course).
Yep, it was a pic of him and Beiber, but as a pinup lol.
Just kidding.
Glad to hear you liked the results Zac. I hope it serves its purpose well.
Ive been to a few shows were the A/V installs were blaring loud and showing porn (which is illegal in a public event) (not that I have anything against porn either…as an artist Im pretty liberal lol).
But it is cool to see all these new sub cultures of the car scene blooming. And it keeps expanding. Just look at the import scene…it used to be just modern imports, now its vintage imports, luxury builds, A/V genre, track-ready, etc….and thats only happened over the past 10 years or so.
So basically there are catagories for everyone now and its good to see clubs and shows embracing this evolution.
“Its not about what you drive, its the interest that we all share. “
Couldnt have put it better myself Zac.
Thanks for the list, thats pretty handy. Our Nissans absolutely hate ethanol gas…completely kills the performance and you can even smell the difference in the exhaust as that stuff chokes up the catalytic converters.
While its true a lot of 80s and 90s cars are starting to pop up, nationally it hasnt really grown a whole lot. It might have a lot to do with that there really were not a lot of (Ill use this term very very loosely) “iconic” or “collectables” that really stood out. The ones that have stayed around are usually niche cars. But this is a topic with no real right or wrong to it.
As for the new generation of enthusiasts…I think we will start to see a lot of cool things. Im in that group as well. From imports to the 80s/90s niche cars to those that go the modern muscle and import route. I think we will also see a new twist on styling/customizing with a good amount of retro stylings, ideas, etc twisted with modern materials and techniques….quite literally the hotrods of our generation.
