Not to toot my own horn or anything but...

Dumb question... why were you surprised? Didn't they tell you it would be in their ad? Didn't they give you some $$$ for using the photo? Gary

 

Naaah the picture is from The Rodders Journal, I didnt take the pic, I just built the car.quote=gnichols;3039827]Dumb question... why were you surprised? Didn't they tell you it would be in their ad? Didn't they give you some $$$ for using the photo? Gary[/quote]

 

Damn there payin guy's to use there cars in ads ? I figured you would have to pay them & get a bad taste in your mouth ...

 

That is my favorite AV-8 hands down ! It's in the same Rodders Journal as my Five-Window and that is a priveledge.......for me.

And, like Dizzy Dean said, "It ain't braggin' if you can do it".

And DAMN boy, can you do it.....

Johnnie.

 

Sweet as cherry pie!
Congratulations.

 

Better to toot your own horn, than blow your own - well, you know!

That's a stunning work of art, plain and simple. I absolutely love that car!

 

Wow, that looks su****iously similar to somone elses car! SICK ROADSTER... That thing is clean.

 

Johnnie Five.. When i saw the Texture and color of the wheels and blister panel Knock me the F@!~#! over ..

 

Congrats Steve ... Geoff's roadster looks great in that ad, good job, such an amazing car!
cheers,
CAB

 

Thanks Steve

 

Thanks Steve, and hey thats was really cool what you guys did for Jason R/Z

 

congrats- your car ****ing rules

 

Nothing better than to see your car in a rag - especially when it's a surprise, congrat's.

 

Naaah its not mine, my bro Jeffs

 

Yeah I saw that ad in a couple mags. Good job my friend! Hope you're doing well!

 

well deserved- well respected

 

steve did a killer job throwing that thing together. i'm pretty proud to say that he did what he did on it for me!! our minds are in-sync aesthetically and when we aren't strangling each other over a few ****tails we can collaborate on some pretty fun projects!

when Brookville were ramping up on there new catalog and advertising program we were more than happy to supply the photography. They have been very supportive of TRJ and we thought it was a good way to say thanks and also to hopefully help their corporate look.

some of you may not have noticed but this is the same car, minus body and doo-dads that we just flat-towed to the Street Rod Nats in Louisville, Kentucky behind Steve's roadster. you can read more about it here....

geoff

 

If these guys only knew ...and when we aren't strangling each other over a few ****tails

Thanks again for everything Geoff! I have to ADD this.... When Geoff asked me to come up and go over the build and look and see what the real deal was, Me and Notch bounced up to S.F in the truck. Geoff really didnt have anything for the car, i was really skeptical on building it,, 3 WEEKS! F@!# ing CRAZY,, you have nothing! soo were talking and talking, WEre like Were'd Notch! go! we walked outside,, Notch has half the **** loaded in the bed of my truck... Every time in my Life Notch has always been the one to push me. Guess you juts had to be there

 

dude, just keep doing what your doing and you'll be a success beyond your dreams!

 

I love you Goeff! its been 20 minutes

 

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate them. The real credit however goes to the crew at Custom Auto in Loveland Colorado. They turn out some truly outstanding work.

I'm fortunate to live close enough to have developed a great working relationship and friendship with a really great buch of guys.

Johnnie.

Geoff,Steve S.,Notch and Steve C. That is a**** my favorite A-Roadsters.
Last time i saw it,It was tucked way over in the corner of the studio awaiting more parts as well as inspiration (part of being in Roy Boys old shop) . That's great that friends came together to make this great Hot Rod happen. Congrats.

 

Very nice car!
