Event Coverage Retro Rewind - Indoor Traditional Show Jan 2014

Is there going to be anyone doing pin striping at the Rewind ?
I would like to get some work done on one or two of our karts .

 

Jim Brando
Jim Brandonisio, a.k.a. Brando, a self-taught sign artist has been lettering and pin striping since 1973 at the age of 16. Born in 1957, in a northern suburb of Chicago, he picked up his fathers brushes just 3 years after his death, and has been involved in the arts ever since.

Hugh Hoffman
A model car builder from the very beginning hooked Hugh in the automotive and hot rod world. Hot Rod and Carcraft only gave him the much needed ideas to build his artistic talent with self taught lettering and Pinstriping. Now with 40 years under his belt Von Dutch and Ed Roth were icons in his world.

Bill Foust
Is the 2013 Chicago Brushmaster Frank H Atkinson lifetime achievement award recipient.
Influences in his career was Jim Chandler but it was fueled with Hot Rod magazines and paying attention at the drag strip with all the professional funny cars. Bill logs in over 30 years to his artistic career.

Ted Turner
Currently the custom paint designer / stylist for Harley Davidson Ted has been in the custom auto graphics world for too many years! Super creative and attention to detail have lead to Ted being the go to guy for HD!

Jim Hetzler
A.k.a Hetz, is a full time pinstriper, airbrush artist and custom painter with over 40 years of creative art experience. The "how to" books that Ed Roth sold in the back of Hot Rod magazines is how Hetz taught himself to freehand pinstripe. Today he spends much of his time teaching House of Kolor paint techniques also pinstriping and airbrush classes that he holds at his studio.

 

Ryan Johnston drives this car everywhere. I think he has put more miles on this thing on weekends than most people do on their daily drivers throughout the year. Ryan and Angi have supported our shows from the beginning and we really appreciate all they have done to spread the word about our events.

I'll be thinking of youz-hope it's a GREAT show!!

 

wish you could be here man - have fun in the new digs

 

I'm not sure what the plans are for me except for being there that Saturday morning, camera in hand. I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of my rod/kustom family! Come find the big guy with the big camera and the red rb cap and ask him for a free sticker.

 

So you ARE going to make it!!!! I love it - was not sure if you were still planning on it. Seeya soon man!

 

Yeah, I just don't think the Galaxie will make it out of the paint booth by then. But I plan on being there for sure!

Midwest Hot Rods is bringing out this killer gasser for the Retro Rewind!

 

Radical chop from Voodoo Randy - say what you want about this ride - bottom line - he builit it all himself and this is HIS vision. Randy is a great guy and we look forward to seeing him on Jan 11!

 

I really want to make it, but my daily driver met with a deer on Saturday. Fingers are crossed that it could be ready to be on the road by noon on Friday the 10th but I'm not holding my breath.

See you Friday John and Steve. Might possibly have a panhead in the trailer too.

 

See you all on Saturday. Too many Friday night commitments to make it up earlier.

 

BRING the panhead!!!!
It is weird - this past week ALL these great motorcycles have called up and asked to be in the show - SO, we have a an entire row of cycles that we were going to put in areas where we could fill spots, but now the amount of killer rides on two wheels is increasing so they will get their own spot! Love it!!!!

 

This be the panhead that I speak of. It was built by a good friend of mine.

 

Casey Sullivan is bringing this to Retro Rewind!

Thanks Von Zipper!

And Joe is planning on bringing this one over from Chicago! Look forward to seeing it!

 

It will be nice to see you again Nate. For a first year show it is shaping up to be something special. And bring that panhead. We can always find room for another bike. If we need to we can push John's new roadster outside into a snow bank!

 

I sure hated to miss this weekend. It was one of the biggest compliments I have ever received to be asked to bring Coppertone. Maybe some day the work thing won't interfere.

 

Bumpin for good travel conditions!!!
