Cover Car!

Thought I'd throw a hefty congrats to our build team on Resilience, as the mighty Buick grabbed a cover spot on the May 2010 World of Rods Magazine!

 How cool is THIS?! Way back when World of Rods was just a glimmer in the eye of its publisher, we were one of the first to advertise in the book, and it's certainly been through some changes, growing into a very serious book, covering all aspects of the hobby, and even beginning to fill the Custom Rodder gap in some ways, thanks to the efforts of Courtney Hallowell.

This issue, Resilience grabs the cover (with a pair of Circle City hot rods and local boy Craig Smith's Liberace Roadster!), and we're just stoked about the article and David Featherston's killer photography! Huge congrats to our build team of Tim and Carrie Strange, Shawn Ray, David Neal, and, of course, our great friends and prolific car owners, Erik and Paul Hansen!

Viva la Resilience...

Grand National=Grand Times

It was a great time this past weekend as Pike, Swanee and I headed to Pomona for the 61st Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona. Beyond the fun of visiting with some friends, we were given unprecedented access to some incredible cars, thanks to some very good friends and talented builders...

We were honored with visits from some truly great friends, and given unprecedented access to some incredible cars, and hands-on tours of the build details by the fabricators, designers and owners!

To say the least, it was an amazing experience to pour over cars like George Poteet's Miller Hauler (HUGE thanks to Jack and Troy Trepanier Brian Stinger and Lawrence Laughlin for the in-display, close-up tour and insight!), The Rad Rides-built, Nancy and Roger Ritzow-owned Chrysler "Passion", a Jimmy Shine roadster (complete with a fantastic history lesson) and more! You'll be floored!

...figured I'd show a shot of the AMBR winner, too...
