The Jalopy Journal
Thanks SO much to Lucky and everyone else that helped, I couldn't be happier with it! I always pictured it '40 Ford Mandarin Maroon and had always...
Whenever I read about customizers saying Detroit copied them, I always think about all the trick styling- scoops, headlights, etc. on early '50s...
I think it's important to do some research and get flames designed by someone who's hip to the style you're after. You can do a primitive style...
If that's Harry Mohoff's Merc, (there's one almost identical to it) it's the first chopped car I ever rode in...
My Purple primed '50 Ford Coupe, in '93- Drove it to Paso from LA and back, I was so astounded that I drove it that far that I kept the show reg...
I don't know how I missed this, haha! Thanks Ryan- And thanks everyone for the kind words! I'll keep tryin'...
Great Roadster! Sorry if I missed it, but what are those front tires? I've never seen those before-
Flush mounted skirts, to me, seem like you are removing important styling from the car, it's supposed to be streamlining the rear wheel opening,...
It had been a while since I'd seen that car, but used the grille idea on this '36 5W I did for this T-shirt last year-
That grille is amazing, if you consider the shape intersection it's completing- it's kind of like the Dick Flint track nose grille on a custom......
Same here! People who appreciate and support artists are a rare breed... That Hot Chicks Cool Rides show was good for me, because they...
I don't like to have a lot in my pockets, so I've never much taken a shine to key fobs. I was talking to Jeff Decker about keys once and he showed...
Jerry Weesner's '40 DeLuxe ForDor- My Dad flamed his daily driver in the early 70s, it was almost the Bob McCoy layout with a few differences. The...
Yes, Thom was describing it to me once and I was thinking "You have a what now?" I don't remember it from way back when, so it was all new to...
Those tires are fantastic! (sorry I was listening...)
I think they have a fantastic profile, but sort of look like a London Taxi from the rear. But yes, I would like a '32 Vicky please. Always...
Went to the release party the other night, but forgot to get one! Oops! Thanks for the link, I'll go order one now...
As far as copies go, I've never heard of any pre-1990's. So if it's old, it's really old. Mine is a Rob Miller cast Hallock from the early 90's- I...
I remember reading that it doesn't have a lot of welding on it? Obviously things like the hairpins, etc. but much of it bolts together-
A true originator and a great friend. Im still in shock...
100 yen store= $1 store... I didn't want to confuse anyone, so I was confusing.
Jimmy C. did this for me 10 years ago- I got at a dollar store in Tokyo and gave it to him, a year later I got this in the mail, painted up like...
I actually do these paintings because I want each one of these cars, but (because I can) I just render them in 2D to see what they look like....
I dig the stance, wheelbase and where the grille is! It's a '36 btw- the front posts blend into the cowl, on a '35 they have a hard outline...
Darryl Hollenbeck posted this one a few days ago- kinda reminded me of Robt. Wms.'32 for some reason, just the big graphic shapes cutting through...
So, those fronts were intended to be the skinny Halibrand kidney beans with a full polish. They do look like they could be the Astro steel slots...
I remember Andy Ogden at Art Center said about a particular idea for a scoop or wheel design or whatever, "He who draws it best invented it" I...
How about silver or chrome for the headlight doors? Or that crazy chrome paint from the hobby store-
The striping is in his style, but on purpose I think- the design on the door almost matches one of the V.D. striping decals. The lettering is not...
He's doing great, however writing is not his strong suit after the stroke he had in '09 and the resulting aphasia, (difficulty finding or...
