View Full Version : Open for business... things are COOKIN in the shop.
Thought I would post some pics of the shop... have 3 bikes that im painting/ one kandy lace, one tribal and the other gold leaf/kandy panels.
I made this bench for my fixtures and masking, its actually changed alot since this picture// ive added to it.
Holds six Iwata guns-
its hard to work on bikes and the shop at the same time... but I just added a new air compressor. A 4 cyl. dual stage quincy. IT FUCKIN RULES. It only runs for fourty seconds at a time and has over a hundred gallon tank.
Heres a close up of my six shooter and 33 ford wheel fixtures
I'm getting ready to do some heavy work on the roadster, titus dropped my axle, now I'm gonna sell my rambler in the classifieds so I can buy the Rubber for it... here it is in a pile in the corner of "my stall" I try and keep all my shit in this room... and the customer stuff seperate. I think its working out pretty well...
so the hex is getting naked along with its new chassis. some more pics
these louvers look BAD ASS in bare metal.
the frame i picked up is the cleanest ive ever seen... took about 5 gallons of dirt outta the rails with a pressure washer. I also painted up the new rims tripple black. I'm gonna paint the whole car black.
heres a close up of the rims with the chrome sides.
I need to order my front end kit and I decided on going with a 57 ford nine inch and a 4 speed behind the flatty, im sick of breaking rear ends.
I got a chance to break away this last weekend and went to IOLA!... sold a bunch of stuff along with 3 air compressors it ruled.
Whenver Bob Bleed and I get together its Dangerous... I messed up his minibike and when he got on to ride it started on fire.
Fuck.
I ran with the cooler
It didnt help...
nobody had a fire extinguisher
FUCK
It burned for a while untill the dude on the golf car came to our rescue.
PIC ONE:
So bobs all like SHIT haha... it was kinda gay cuzz the minibike ruled.
The cops got pissed...
In the end we blamed all on the Kanadian KEVIN who came with us and they wrote him a warning...
this is the only shot we got of Kevin from Kanada... he slept the whole weekend.
so in the end I sold some shit to pay some bills... IOLA RULES!
Just wanted to check in...
Oh yeah... cant forget LUKESTERS truck... this had a crowd around it 24 seven.

HaHaHa Danger. Danger.
That mini bike is hot........ Tuck wants to kill me.
Everyone was freaking out yelling, "It's gonna blow!"
I tried to blow it out, but that diddn't work, then Tuck emptied the cooler on it and all the Pepsi's exploded. then I threw some dirt on it, Then the cops called the fire guy on the golf cart.............
OOPS.
CAOS at Iola.
We made signs, my favorite was the one that said,
"This will get you laid in Canada."
That sign pretty much will sell anything.
Lukes truck is great, but it hurts my ass. I had fun driving it around the swap and telling people I just bought it from some drunk fucker from Appleton for $5000 and a case of Shlitz.
Iola was ruined.
HaHaHa DANGER. DANGER.
Bob, ya shoulda pinched that cops ass for kicks! It was so close to your hand............................... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice Pix Bro.. Looks like you guys had a blast... Im jealous.. Missed Kevin this year at the 50's.. The shop is looking killer.. I got tons of questions for Bleed on the frames.. wanna see how to get the A frame nice and low... Are those 35 Ford Rims on Lukesters pickup? I was wondering what size tires are on there? Damn, still jealous of all the shots at Iola.. Looks like it was a ton of fun. You guys had good weather too..
yeah it was great weather and i got those pics of that A you were telling me about... one of the coolest A's I seen at fiftys. I took some pics of it.
heres a pic of the show... there wasnt alot of COOL stuff in the swap... by cool I mean speed equipment for flattys/hemis bla bla bla. But the weather ruled and I got to see bleed lay out some "real" flames on a mini bike haha
bob sold a bunch of mad fab DVD's here was our sign...

Super funny to tell everyone all the fun stuff. Why don't you tell everyone how you woke up with a sore ass and vasalene around your mouth Bob? Any comments about that one TUCK?? Just what I heard this weekend at a cheaters event. But the story was a little broken up from Bob weeping and getting upset because he didn't remember even giving you permission to kiss him let alone have your way with him. I got your back Bob!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Lissen here, you little shit....if you keep goin the way you are now, by the time you get to my age, you won't need to rememeber all that paint shit....just how to sign your name on all those checks for your payroll. By the time you get as old as I is, you'll be the boss alright....hiring people and starring on your own "Hot Rod Shop" show on TV, like Boyd.
Sorry to hear of the pyrotechnics regarding the minibike, Bleed. Keep "The Ruiner" off it and it'll last a lot longer. Wish I was able to make it there.....
haha rocky... I think I would need to move to cali to be HOLLYWOOD and famous http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif lol--
say where the hell did you have that pic of the rambler... that photo RULES. I've never seen it before seriously?
Isnt there some reason I have to drive to OMAHA soon?
I'm gonna do that spindle swap... I think i know what your talking about now that i can hold the parts in my hand. Funny how that works.

Tuck...I'd love to have you ride with me but at the present time, my Brother is planning on riding with me and this car is a little, narrow business coupe...no back seat. 3 guys squeezed in that thing in 90-100 degree heat could be trying to all 3....I'll letcha know if Scotty poops out but we've been planning this for some time....hope he can come up with plane-fare...
thats cool rocky ill just have to wait and see where im at funds wise. I think I need to stay grounded this year although I could sit behind the seat and sip on a pop and you wouldnt even know I was there!
