OKAY, Explain Your Avatar!.................

Bought the "Asshole's Garage" tin at the Pomona car show. I'm an asshole if you borrow my tools and don't put them back in the right spot. I'm an asshole when I'm hungry. I'm an asshole when I haven't had coffee. And I'm an asshole when whatever I'm working on runs into snags.

 

it just felt right

 

My old 54 Ford,sold it for $5000 in '96. Now on the bay for ONLY $88,800!!!

 

My 49 cad on a side road with Bixbie bridge in background. This was in Big Sur on a trip to Goodguys show in Puyallup Wa.

 

Doesn't mean it'll SELL for $88,800...

 

This is my Tiki pistons painting. I sell prints on canvas in many sizes and pinstripe RIGHT on the canvas. The best part is no two prints are ever the same.

 

Simply because I like the artwork of "Ger Peters" AKA "dutch courage" oh and the fact it is my shop logo...LOL

 

A tattoo I got in Austin last month.

 

Good thread. Lol

 

My old merc that I built and drove the the tires off in the late seventys, put 80,000 miles on it !

 

<-------My Dad's racecar! I am about 3 years old maybe sitting in it eating an Oreo. Here is a photo of the full car.

 

Old number 219, the Geisler, Vail(me) and Banks 53 Stude Bonneville car. I restored the car in 91-92 and drove it until we retired it in 07. It's currently in the N.H.R.A. Wally Parks Museum.

 

Cool pic! Glad you reduced it a little though. I was getting ready to use it as my wallpaper. No, not on my computer screen. I mean on the actual wall BEHIND my computer! Lol

 

Its from a series of books from the 50's I got from my dad. Rick Brant was an adventurous teen who had many dangerous adventures. And I just love the image. Gonna have it tattooed on my elbow one of these days.

 

Matches my tattoo.....yes, really...

 

it's the sign above the door from my museum

 

My Acadian shortly after I got it. Not the greatest pic I have..but I know if I try and put up a better one it will be the wrong size or something else will screw up and not work and I will just get frustrated and angry. As you may guess I'm not very computer skilled...

 

My avatar is a design I did for a tattoo but I loved it and now it is my personal logo. And the subject is right up there with a theory...

 

Mine is of my 65 Mercury Comet,I have owned it since Spring of 67! It has been drag raced since the Summer of 67,quite a bit quicker and faster now,10.30s at over 128 in the quarter,351W,4-speed,NO NITROUS or power adders!! ROY.

 

Favourite comic book artist Eric Powells "The Goon". Its your basic mix of mobster comedy and violence...

 

It's what it feels like to be in one.



The plan is to pinstripe my car with it. (I'm mating a late '50's front engine dragster with a T-bucket.)

The words, "Sling Shot" will be printed at the front of the car, in small letters, in the shape of a sling shot. Attached will be a red pinstripe stretching down the side of the car to represent a rubber band. And the flailing guy at the end of the pin stripe/rubber band will be getting shot down the road.

(Or I may do it across the dash instead.)

 

My avatar is not my car, but an old pic I shopped to look like what I think my car looked like when it was raced 1970-71 since I can't find any pics of it.

 

had my TT truck but there was to much dislike for the truck so i deleated it
i still drive it had it for years
it is not a rat rod it has radial tires and a flatbed

 

Lets see it's my Cat who is known as Natty, Natty Guns, and Natasha. she is my bad ass watch cat, shop cat and neighborhood bully to all the other pets, she has a Gun, a Knife and knows how to use them.....

 

...my modified, somewhere on Highway 50, Nevada.

 

Where is she now such a hottie indeed!

 

Wow, haven't checked my thread for awhile! Really cool to know the tales behind the "tars", keep em coming!

 

Uhh >>>>.

 

just an illustration I did a little while back

 

Now that there is funny.
