Trying to get it all back...

'49 Shoebox With the Works!

Did some messing with acrylics and birch plywood. First time painting on the wood, learned a few things for the future projects. That's what it's all about. Learning every time I pick up a brush. . .
(Oh sorry for the bad pics, iPhone likes to over compensate brightness sometimes.)

Speed Sport Roadster

Great video of the Speed Sport Roadster. I've loved the looks of this machine since I first saw it in a old copy of Hot Rod Magazine. Check it out! (8mm Silent Glory)

The White Stuff.

Okay so the thermometer is off the scale around here, it makes you think of days of the white stuff. Well here is a good video about a different kind of white stuff. It's over at viemo if we can't have the cold, Bonneville has the Hot White Stuff. Try to stay Cool out there!
(following is from the site about the video)

As we enter the concluding episode to season one of Depth of Speed, Josh Clason takes us to an American automotive mecca and the Bonneville Salt Flats. Land speed racing has gone hand in hand with Bonneville as many travel to Utah in hopes of setting the next great record. But beyond the competition has been a strong degree of camaraderie where the ultimate goal lies beyond the record books.

Red Letter Day in History.

The session, held the evening of July 5, proved entirely unfruitful until late in the night. As they were about to give up and go home, Presley took his guitar and launched into a 1946 blues number, Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right". Moore recalled, "All of a sudden, Elvis just started singing this song, jumping around and acting the fool, and then Bill picked up his bass, and he started acting the fool, too, and I started playing with them. Sam, I think, had the door to the control booth open ... he stuck his head out and said, 'What are you doing?' And we said, 'We don't know.' 'Well, back up,' he said, 'try to find a place to start, and do it again.'" Phillips quickly began taping; this was the sound he had been looking for. ( From Wikipedia )
