heartbreak station
Early 60s Ford designs rule. Big station wagons rule. Fogged paintjobs rule (sometimes). A cool stance rules (everytime). So, it actually doesn't get much better than this. As seen on Hemmings.

Had a little time to kill and browsed some classifieds. Then I dug up this beauty: a 1965 impala. Ever since I saw El Diablo, the '65 Impala built by swiss kustom car pioneer Momo, I loved these full...
While checking out some cool pics from a recent hill climb in the UK, I was struck by the looks of a chopped black '36 three window coupe. This thing looked familiar to me and after a little head scr...
Whether you're kicking back after a hard day's work or you're just about to face the ugly and dreary everyday routine: Just relax and sit back for a moment. Turn up the speakers, turn down the news a...
I already did several posts on the unique far east flavor in hot rods, kustoms and lowriders. But they never cease to amaze me. Maybe you already know The Local Hero from their fb profile, but if you...
Mad Fabricators volume 6 is announced to be released in August 2011. In the meantime, and while I'm busy working for my new job and struggling to find some time to post stuff, you can check out the n...
The UK has got a vibrant traditional rod and custom culture. And photographer Nick Grant is doing a great job capturing the cars and the people, while working for various magazines and promoting his ...
There are great vintage film clips all over the web. But this one is different. Maybe it's due to the brilliant colors and the point of view resembling the one we remember from our last drive through...
I'm always surprised at how many american cars are around in Switzerland. You just gotta check out the annual "american live" car show to be aware of this... it's crazy. We got there shortly after th...
The weekend is on the doorstep. So, grab your keys, jump into that black deuce roadster waiting on the curbside and head for the next bar, bbq or wherever the trail may lead you. Oh yeah, that roadst...
Racing is life. Except when the track is closed. But this time, the united ACES and Shoplifters racing team was more successful. Dirt track time! The rebuilt rear end was tested hard. Round after rou...
I got a soft spot for those early to mid 60s cruisers. Whether it be coupes or wagons, Ford, Chrysler or GM: it seems like the car companies had bigger balls during that period of time for cranking o...

Last weekend was dirt track time. Unfortunately, due to some schedule problems, the track was already booked by some dirt bike riders. Duh. At least the weather was nice and the coffee tasty.
Lions, Carlsbad, Half Moon Bay and the list goes on. Many of the once famous drag strips are long gone. In good ol' Switzerland, we didn't ever have a permanent drag strip at all. Poor us. So, let's ...

Last saturday, I paid a visit to my buddy Raphael, the metal wizard who's currently building the model a three window coupe. He was just about to chop this model a roadster. So, I decided to capture ...
There's nothing like a Wiener Schnitzel on a friday evening. Even the weather was great so we decided to take our rides and meet at the local brewery to get the weekend started in style.
I already stated it a couple of times. The best part of a car show is the process of getting there. Here's a great example, documented by HAMB member Joe T Creep.
Anything that happens before or after is just waiting. (Steve McQueen) Have a great weekend!
Wagons rule. They are the next best thing to coupes. And sometimes even cooler. And they are practical, too. I think I need a wagon. (photos © HAMB)
Had a taste of summer this weekend! Got up early at 7 am saturday morning, went to fellow ACES member HP and together we hit the road heading for switzerland's first US car swap meet. Well, it wasn't...
Have a great weekend. (photographer unknown)
Customs are considered to be show cars. They don't need to be good at anything except for looking slick and sinister while getting your ass to the next car show or whatever. But in the early days the...
