Art & Inspiration <<<<< Friday Art Show 7/1/11 >>>>>

Gary C - that purple rod is out of this world! - So are all the rest of your creations really. Too bad this one doesn't exist in the real world.
Bomonster - that Merc is perfect!
Really authentic aged look to those photos Hotrd32.
Nikc (BBB) - fantastic idea with great girls to boot! Your 57 is a very lucky car!
Ger - I love that effect of the faded out background with the colorful Mustang funny car
Gav Black - that blown 32 is so intense! Love the color and the way it jumps off the screen.

And of course this one by Jigger definitely deserves note:

 

ive been dreaming of the salt lately



and some pinstriping

 

Great start guys... everything is awesome as always.

Heres a few shots of a seat i built last week...

 

Heres a club logo i did as well as a big COOP peice that i beadrolled...

 

Here is something new from me this week. ncjamey your beadrolling always amazes me.
Congrats Bomonster on your feature in Traditional Rod & Kulture.

 

great show guys...just doodled this

 

Man that seat is awesome. I really like the quilting on the seat back.

 

Awesome start to the show this week everyone.
I had this piece I started awhile back and finally finished it.
I totally dig the Diamond Deuce and Jeff's work (among many others here) consistantly encourages and inspires me.
I hope Mr. Norwell doesnt mind me having a little fun.

 

Took this photo in the 70's Can't recall the car but always liked the photo!

 

ncjamey-- I think my jaw just put a hole in the floor.

 

Rockin the casbba kids, Jigger, the rag top looks rad, just like yours. Dan G., love the fleetline Chevy. All contributionas are the bees knees. Man I would love to have Bo's Gambino chevy board, ass kickin ya all Thanx!! ~sololobo~

 

This is just awesome! Nice... very nice!

 

Well, since Jigger posted a Superbird I guess I will too. Sorry it's kind of OT, but as usual I never seem to get much on topic work.

And this one IS kind of interesting... It's a '71 Superbird a friend is building. No, Plymouth didn't build a '71 Superbird but they WERE in development. It's just that NASCAR effectively outlawed them by reducing the cubic inches they could run down to 305 (notice that's what it says on the hood). My friend is working from historical wind tunnel photos Chrysler took while using 3/8 scale models for development.

This particular car will be powered by an Ernie Elliot R5 NASCAR small block making 852 hp @ 9000 rpm. 852 hp from a small block!

Some of you will see this car making land speed runs at Loring and Maxton. The car is slated to debut at PRI this December.

 

Thanks Dan! Love your work as well...
(some may be getting tired of that one)

Likewise.

Slide
Your Unique Tin stuff is great too. as are the others.

rrbrucea, That 'bird is super!

Tim (Surfmonkey), cool stuff.

Thanks Larry!!! Happy 4th, buddy.

Here's another OT subject I just wrapped on and sent to the printer. A follow up on the Steele Rubber Cadillac so many artists had been called to task on.
The "Standard of the World" was a sign of American strength, quality, leadership and independence. I love that this car has been in one family all it's life and that a successful company was built around the desire to preserve it. Wonder how many H.A.M.B. members
have been served by their existence?

 

ncjamey - I wish I were half as good at anything as you are at metal work!

 

Here are a few things I striped last weekend for the Krazy Paint charity panel jam.

 

Wow, that's not a seat that's a work of art!

 

All I can say is WOW!

 

Another piece...

 

This is very kewl!

 

Happy 4th guys....
Bomoster....super cool man. love those chevs

Thanks guys, iam glad yall like the bench seat...

Heres another bench i built for bike builder Greg Westbury.

 

not sure if this is FAS friendly... but this is what i did this week.

here it is in the closed position...

and when you release the wire, it opens up to this..

 

Uh, what he said!! That is awesome! I'm sure he'll be busy making those not that people see what it looks like!

 

Here are a few things I pinstriped recently.

 

Nothing too new this week. I've been working in that garage some and on O/T stuff for modern cars. I did get the task of putting together some of my illustration work for someone and got a little geeked about showing it off. Here's a sample that spans a few years worth of stuff.

 

Here is another set

 

Nice one BO

 

Awesome show this week. In love with Gary's sketch. I may ask him for it's hand.

here's my contribution.

It's a grand old "Cab"! lolol...sorry.
