Art & Inspiration PHOTOS PHOTOS PHOTOS: Here's a TON OF PHOTOS From My SHOP TOUR TOUR

I spent the past three days touring various shops from Fresno down to L.A. for the Gazette and got to spend some of that time checking out (and shooting) the collections of some of the shop owners. Here are some of the highlights!

Cap's Coatings Fresno, CA



















Mike Fennel's. He has done TONS of movie cars and does the restorations for the Black Hawk Museum.










Left over fiberglass prop bumpers from "Tucker".

 

Von Dutch's bike.

 

I know that Chuck Porter truck oh too well !

For your protection.









Schroeder Engineering

A new hot rod steering box Gary is working on with a "street" ratio.


Gas caps he's doing for Moal.

 

Yeah, a Cosworth just "laying around!

 

That's a Pegaso,super cool spanish expensive shit....and the following blue one also,but custom bodied by Shoutchik from Paris....tres chic!!!

 

Correct. A 1954 to be exact. I think Mike said there were only 28 of them made.

 

holy porn overload!

 

It's nice to see the Chuck Porter truck back in California. In the early 60's, it was painted red and owned by Herb Glock in Liberty, MO.

Very interesting shop tour...thanks.

 

Krap, Kirk! You're turning into a photographer. Nice work.
Mike

 

A guy i know had a 54 Pegaso also here in Mexico...it was under resto but his father died couple years ago and the car has been sold i think back to Spain..Kirk,it will be nice to the engines of these....beautiful stuff...
Don't remember to the detail but i think the grandtotal Pegaso was aprox 140 cars or so...very limited span ranging 2/3 years but for sure somebody will chime in with correct figures now...
