New wall art..

I have a thing for old grilles...
Last Motorama my eye fell on this real beauty.
a 1934/35 Renault Mona grille with some genuine patina.
It might end up on this rod we are restyling right now as a temporary loan..
, but someday it will decorate the shop..

Great new blog By Rik Hoving

The Custom Cars built in the 1930's and 1940 have an unique feel to them. They are crisp and well designed and proportioned. Luckily we have a lot of old photos of these cars to enjoy, but it amazes me that we don't really see many custom cars built today which are styled after these pioneer Custom Cars. There are some exceptions, but not to many. This blog is about these wonderful styled early Custom Cars.

El Mirage

Visiting the landspeedrecord races in El Mirage was a dream come true...

Lot's of cool hotrods, bikes and racecars put the pedal to the metal!!


Susie and her new friend Gene Winfield


And the old man went 198 mls/h (317 km/u) with his pumped-up flathead!
Just mist the record......

This is something you can't miss when visiting California!!!
