This might be a little old, but I've been thinking about doing something like this for years...

These two badasses:

Drive this dumped bmw/trailer across the country.

I fucking love this car.

"We were originally going to drive 40 to 30 through little rock, however, we quickly found out we'd never make it through with the condition of the roads... So we had to go the long way, down to Jackson, MS and over through Louisiana."
The majority of the trip is spent repairing oil pans, headers, exhaust etc... that's dedication to style.

bmx park?!

Stumbled upon the opportunity to help lay out some plans for a new skate/bmx park in columbia. Owners are really cool guys, all good intentions and well built ramps - can't wait for this thing to be finished upstairs - foam pit and everything.

Whoever comes are the right people

Whatever happens is the only thing that could have

Whenever it starts is the right time

When it's over, it's over

This is one of my favorite drift pictures ever. Doesn't get much more raw than this.

Congratulations Jason and Miss!!

Epic weekend of snow/partying/drifting/awesome.

Got a call at 7:47am saying work was closed.

30 minutes later I got out of the driveway and hit the streets.

Pennsylvanian's have a weird obession with buying milk & bread before storms hit

Our supplies were a little different.

Besides the sub-zero temperatures, this place had an incredible view of the river valley and rt.30 bridge.

Stolen off hellaflush - these wheels are sick. Very possible I may do this when the time comes

Massive Aluminum Doorstop

Picked up Goose's motor yesterday from Wintermeyers Scrap Yard. Cool guys down there, the owner had a 1600hp Procharged Camaro sitting in the shop.

Ford 4.6 FI DOHC Aluminum block/heads - same as the Cobra motors. It is absolutely huuuge with those dual-cam heads.

Ford designed the trunk/ride height to be able to slide engines directly onto stands, its great.

Not sure how many miles are on this beast but it's clean as hell inside, the bottom end looked the same.
Left off here for the night - need a crank pulley puller.

$35 SandBlast Cabinet

2009-12-18T00:19:00.002-05:00

Finished this up a few weeks ago. This is copied over from this post on zilvia.

Not sure why all my pictures got cut off but I'll roll with it.

Total Cost - $35

55gal Drum $5

Ebay Blast Gloves $20

Latch/bolts/seal $10

Everything else was scrap sitting around - lexan window, air fittings, scrap metal and I already had the siphon gun

Finished product on skateboard ramp stand-

Everything measured up

I knew I needed to have as few weld/riveted pieces as possible... So i 'perforated' the barrel and used the existing metal for the window frame. Cut everything with a dremel cutoff wheel/air cutoff and a jigsaw.

Sometimes character comes from neccessity - chopped up some texas plates for the rest of the window frame.

Where I left off

Glass cut to fit.

Perfect jigsaw circle. It fit so well I didn't even need a hinge, it held itself snug.

Barrel end cut out.

Finished door.. ballin bronze closed nuts and cream cabinet hinges from pops. Had to add a 1/2 piece of plywood as a spacer since they were flush/hidden cabinet hinges
Used some sort of squishk door/window stripping from home depot for the seal.

Made the glove rings from a paint can, 'pie cut' them and riveted them in place.

First thing blasted.. Subframe bracket. Not too bad for a little compressor and playsand.

First post. Figuring everything out.

Amazing glasswork by Dale Chihuly - his painting installations and essays are really interesting too.
