bad-ass coupe

I've got a soft spot for model As on deuce rails, no matter if roadster or coupe. They look more "athletic" than a 1932, due to their slim body sitting on the heavier '32 rails while not being as austere as a regular model A. I shot this one sitting in a garage not far from my place. Killer stance, bad-ass chop, cool car.

1949 in 2009

Something for the weekend... a beautiful picture Nico alias Cyclone Photographie took of my 1949 Chevy.

dutch dynamite: '41 plymouth

Maybe you remember my post about this bare metal 1941 Plymouth Coupe. While surfing the HAMB tonight, I stumbled upon some recent update pics and while I was at it, found some photos of the build-up in Rik Hoving's Custom Car Photo Archive. Credit for the cool bare metal shot above goes to El Cheapo. The stunning metalwork on the car is being handled by the dutch Charles Poelmans.

While cleaning up my desktop, I stumbled across this 28/29 roadster on deuce rails. I don't remember where I found the picture, but it's gotta be one of my all-time favorite model As. Great stance, beautiful paint, cool attitude.

billetproof drags florida

Finally, I'm back in town, providing you with some event coverage from the recent Billetproof Drags Florida. I really enjoyed the laid-back event held at Lakeland Motorsports Park and it was nice meeting some local people like the Rumblers Orlando or some of the guys behind Billetproof. As usual, pics are here. Or try the slideshow.

swiss perfection on wheels

There are shoeboxes in all sizes and shapes. But there's one car that really stands out from the crowd, just because of being so subtle and understated. It's the 1950 Ford Shoebox built by Alexandre Negaty of Al's Tikis with good taste in mind and swiss perfection in execution. Follow the build up while learning a little bit of french, or check out his own photo gallery. (Bielle Chaude)

more than photography

Fellow blogger and photographer Alex Maldonaldo has started an initiative to help out his friend who was diagnosed Hodgin's disease, a type of lymphoma cancer. In order to raise the badly needed funds to cover the medical bills, Alex is selling some of his beautiful photos. Click here to find out more.

A new coupe in town

There are always two sides of a coin. So, I could either tell you various details like an unchopped five window model A coupe, a hopped-up fourbanger, mechanical brakes, 16 inch kelsey hayes wheels, bias plys, satin black. But actually, I prefer to say: What a bitchin' coupe.

open house: fischer classic cars

We got no Indian Summer around here, but we're currently having some pretty beautiful fall days. And what's better than spending them with some friends and around vintage tin just like at the open house of Fischer Classic Cars, a reputable swiss specialist for old Fords. By the way, the traditional hot rods almost outnumbered the stockers, but hey, who would complain? Pictures are here.
