Pony Scoop

recently I was contacted by a fellow in New York who was restoring A vintage Mustang drag car. At some point the original hood with a one off scoop went missing and he contacted me to clone the scoop off these photos.

Drilled a couple holes today

VINTAGE LETTER PRESS

My Friend Noah Olmstead Has been Letter press printing for most of the 20 plus years Ive known him. When I found out he just bought a 1940s press and opened his own shop. I  immediately
had him design me new business cars and a shop poster.  I like to support my fellow craftsman and you should too! when you hold the card in your hand it is very clear they are not from Kinkos. His website is not up yet but you can call him. Noah 805-776-2500

NEW R&C Little pages

George "Mack" Thompson RIP

My grandfather was a huge influence in my life, and I will truly miss him, growing up he told me the story of his cross county motorcycle journey a hundred times. Mostly the story would come up when I told him I wanted a Harley. He would ask if I had ever ridden a “hard Tail” and proceed with this story. Along with countless other tails of adventure. I was pleasantly surprised at his memorial service to receive a copy of his “wild ride” included with the reception program. My grandfather had suffered from alsimers for the last 10 years, and this is a recollection of his journey transcribed by my grandmother Kitty about 8 years ago.

This book melted my brain

after I read this book, I cut up a perfectly good model A roadster. welded the doors shut, caged it set the motor back 12" and currently in the proses of meeting scca safety tech. Damn you Brock Yates!
