DANGER! DANGER! The Powell 36..... Trying to hold on... NO CONTROL!

First off have you seen this picture? The one Tuck drew for the Round Up?



I am honored and blown away that the Kontinentals chose my car for the Round Up posters this year.... Its really crazy. I don't even know what to say.... Its just Crazy.

Then they had my friend Tuck draw them. Tuck knows me well. He knows the wild ride that little car has taken me on...... he knows all the details, the good and the bad, the ups and downs, the darkness and the light......... He knows me well, really well.

He summed it all up perfectly and gave me some perspective. I love that fucker. thanks man...... seriously.

Things are crazy right now. Its exciting and scary.... I really am just trying to hold on..... every once in awhile I get in a really good rhythm, but then I somehow screw it all up.... I guess that keeps it honest...... I always have something to learn.

Some dudes play it safe, Even Steven. I just don't know how to do that!





The Wild Ride.

 

The shop has been pretty good lately. Its going well, we have been working really hard.

Yeah we filmed a TV show..... It was fun.

All I will say about it is,

Some of you will LOVE it.

Some of you will HATE it. ( I think the haters are more likely to watch!)

And I'm really proud of the guys at the shop. They are all like family to me...... even Jesse.

The best part is we built a really good car. Hot Rods RULE!

 

The Powell 36

This car has been kicking my ass....... I started off over confident, thinking it was easy, well its been another wild ride....

Its getting there..... still lots to do, but its getting there......

Please don't tell those guys on Billy's thread its chopped haha

Its going to be an amazing car....... just trying really hard not to screw it up! I have so many hours in this thing that it is crazy..... it kind of owns me.... but I love it.

I still have to finish the doors, the jams and fill the center..... then add a little lead....

 

On top of everything else Me and Mark have been recording an album and its done!

It was a lot of work...... I wrote the songs, recorded, produced, and mastered it all in my little room! I am really proud of it.... hope you like it!

Big thanks to Mark Ford of course, Von Franco, Greg Giannukos, and Pierocakes!

Piero is helping me distribute it at Mad Fabricators..... you can get it here:

We are calling our annual Round Up show the release party.... Its at Trophy's Friday night the 13th....






Here's a video from my little room.....

The roadster turned out great. Looking forward to the show...

...but please don't chop the '36.

Everything is awesome! Life is good man!

 

I was trying to load this from my phone at lunch and screwed it up.... but Sam Cooke is the only Music that matters to me right now...... I think he might be the best.

 

OK just found this, early Otis.... pretty awesome...... I think he might be the best.



I pretty much spend all my spare time watching records on youtube.

 

That 36 looks pretty god damn good! Bob RULES!

 

Billy,

You should think about getting Bob to chop your 36 just like this one.

 

Ha that song is great!!
