Motion Pictures The Shifters documentary film!

Second one was great can't wait till the next one.might break out the Hotrod Havoc movies if anyone remembers those

 

I'm watching it right now dude! Can't get enough.

 

Where abouts is your house?

 

Funny, when I met Axle at Paso and he was at A&W , with all the guys in club jackets I was hooked. I went back home and looked for a jacket like those and put my nickname, Bad Bob on it, didn't have an old car yet. Found this one that says Hotrod Hell on it. Still have it. I always wanted to be in a club and when I met Bob Hill of the ACES, years ago, I told him, when I get a Hotrod I'm joining the ACES...I remember when I got my Merc, I would go to shows and the guys running the event would say, NO Ratrods! It was satin black, no interior, no mufflers. I drove it to the Primer Nats every year, fit right in, and the first four years I drove there it broke down on the way home, lol. Fun times....

 

Hey, all--as we're working on the final touches of the Director's Cut full-length feature, I was telling my production team (Matt and Kyle) that the one thing still bothering me is that we didn't have enough footage/pics of Marky's Purple People Eater and Anthony's Brown Neck Bandito from back in The Day. Anyone holding? We'd love to incorporate more imagery of those cars into the feature film before we hit the festival circuit...

 

Just wanted to do a Special Thanks Part 2 to the following people: Marcella Castaneda, James Intveld, Billy Gibbons, Chip Foose, Bruce Meyer, Bobby Green, Shige & Chico of Mooneyes, Rob Fortier, and Michael "Salt Lake City Mike" Harrington.

 

I watched the new episode 3 times. Fantastic. I would also like to see more footage on the PPE. I have watched what is out there on Marky"s car many times. This stuff you are putting out is great Stoner. Thanks again. I am in my shop working on my Model A drag coupe and keep rolling your videos over and over.

 

Take a bow, yourself, Axle! You and the club made this happen and you bent over backwards for us...

 

Absolutely, Thanks Axle and all the Shifter's. Real Hot Rods and beautiful woman, what more could you want. LOL.

 

Is that a young Keith Weesner?

 

I believe it is.

 

I am not a fan of the Hi-tech style cars but I can respect the work and craftsmanship it takes to build them, and to see that a guy like Chip Foose understands, respects, and gets it is awesome!

 

Just south of the El Toro "Y"

 

Just watched Part 1 ... Spot-On History @Stoner ... as I remember it.
Now of to Part 2

 

Watched the first ep yesterday and the second today, great stuff!
The late eighties and nineties were the prime of my life and between Japan and Australia I was totally consumed by Rockabilly and Jalopies. Actually, not much has changed in that way.

 

At some point in the future, @axle @Stoner , you guys are going to have to make a pilgrimage out to Bakersfield, and shoot some footage, at Squeak Bells super cool shop and party house/private saloon.

I would assume you both have been out there a few times.

If not, here is some incentive to attend Squeaks annual piss up, pre-party, when the CHRR happens at FAMOSO.

By the way, congratulations on the great videos, they kick ass!

Some shots from Squeaks place back in 2016.
Enjoy from Dennis.

 

Both showed up on my YouTube feed, then I see this thread!

Good to hear there’s a coupl more in que.

 

thanks for posting this. I am currently lying in bed with the worst flu ever.
Your film lifted my spirits.

 

FINALLY someone noticed Weesner!

 

SO bitchin!!! Finally got to hang out with Squeak before/during our Shifters release party at SEMA last November. Hadn't seen him in almost 20 years and back then, I didn't know who he was...that guy's a national treasure!

 

Squeak Bell, is indeed, the "GENUINE ARTICLE"

 

Howdy, Squeak is a member of the Shifters, and we have frequented his shops/museum countless times over the decades. He's a bit camera shy, so you won't hear him in the Documentary, but photos of him were definitely added. Thanks

 

If you saw me there, I was on my way to a ACES meeting. They all live in South OC.

 

Squeak is an international treasure. Great guy!

 

Throw-back ....

 

Just watched it. Awesome documentary.

 

Very well done.
Being somewhat isolated here in "flyover country" (a.k.a. the rural midwest!) the first inkling I had about any of this movement was a Gray Baskerville article in Hot Rod Magazine about the Burbank Choppers. I remember thinking, these guys are on to something.
Yeah, I guess they were!
Great stuff, thanks for posting.

 

You guys did an amazing job Dan! So glad I could be a part of it. The Motor Underground rules!

 

Episode 1 was good.

 

Very Well Done And Appreciated..You Made My Day Plus Some...
