This slammed Chevy two door sedan symbolizes not one but two good news. The first thing is: After I had moved all my stuff to a new harddrive, I lost these shots from the Road Devils Car Show 2011 in...
Looks like there's a sweet movie from Sweden about to hit our silver screens this June. Stay tuned, turn up the volume, and follow the Undertakers.
I keep being haunted by those 1960 Starliners. So maybe there's a Ford in my future? Probably not in the near future but who knows. Have a great weekend.
Holy wow. Something must have happened last night. The LOWTECH FB page went past the 6000 likes mark. THANK YOU! The "Burbank Choppers" photo I posted yesterday was my most popular post ever with alm...
It was foggy back in 2012 at the Mooneyes X-Mas Show.
Time for a commercial break. There are only a few copies left of my book/magazine LOWTECH – The California Issue #1. Sales have been strong so far and the great feedback I got makes me dream about an...
1960 is one of my favorite years in American automotive design. More than ever before or after, the cars looked like they had just escaped one of those glittery Motorama Shows. With their bubble tops...
Another one from the archives. I took it during the Winfield & Watson Open House in Fall 2010. I posted it before in color but it works well good in black and white as well.
The ACME Coupe is a gorgeous new take on the traditional taildragger theme. Besides its stunning looks it also drives like a dream. Here's a series of snapshots I took when John and Cynthia stopped a...
How about some musical entertainment?
I keep being blown away by the car culture in Japan. I just came across this pretty rad shot of some place called Kool Garage Fellows and it instantly made me think of those Watson shop pictures from...
Jake's 1953 Chevy 150 Sedan is up for sale. It's got less than 2,000 miles on the Dode Martin built 305 Small Block w/ rebuilt 350 trans. The roof has been chopped by Kyle Phillips who also built my ...
The Kustomrama Wagon got stolen in Newport Beach, California. It is Olav Kvipt's daily driver to school and work, and he is really in need of getting the car back. The Chevy has the registration numb...

It's Monday and the Grand National Roadster Show 2014 is history. Thanks to modern amenities like the interwebs or instagram I was able to get some peeks into the buildings at the Pomona Fairplex and...
Some things need no words. Just sit back and marvel. 1936 Ford Coupe Custom. Owner: John Mearns, ACME Speed Shop. Builder: Jeb's Metal and Speed.
If there's a part 1, there must be a part 2 somewhere, right? At least that's what I thought when I recently stumbled upon this post about the magnificent Palos Verdes Hot Rod Cruise. So in order to ...
It was a chilly evening in Oceanside, California. The wind was constantly moving the clouds around so the light changed every minute. But what the hell, I loved the dramatic sky and with a bit of luc...
There's probably nothing that hasn't been said about the awesomeness of the Japanese interpretation of the original and genuine American car cultures. And we all have heard of the Yokohama Hot Rod Cu...
Howdy fellas. Hope you arrived safely in the new year. Holy hell jeebus, it's 2014 already! And we're still tinkering with vehicles from the first half of the previous century? Ain't there something ...
Rolls & Pleats Magazine doesn't need an introduction. Editor Jerry Desvaux does an incredible job in cranking out a quality independent mag for years even though he had to go from a quarterly publica...
I must admit I was feeling a little bit depressed when I got that e-mail message from RodShows.com with the suggestion to pre-order my ticket for the upcoming Grand National Roadster Show 2014. It's ...
Even though I took this picture at 100° degrees Fahrenheit, it doesn't feel out of place around this time of year. Have a nice winter weekend.
Hallowed Ground it is for sure. I will never forget the three days I spent on the Salt this summer. And I'm glad that I was able to distill my experience into two stories for the Smokin' Shutdown Hot...
