Here's the low-down on the Hot Rod Artists that are going to showup at the Pileup this Saturday. I hope I'm not forgetting anyone! Jeff Norwell Max Grundy Keith Weesner Chad Lampert Todd Jones Nick Sinclair Del Swanson Chad Hill (Django) Ed Tillrock Some of us will be setup inside, some will be outside, and some just hang'n out... Make sure you stop by and say hi... Or we'lll hunt you down!
wow! Two Years ago I met my inspiration : weesner, Now I may get a chance to meet the master Norwell? Awesome. Also Del is one of the best artists I know, he is talented and one the most genuine & sincere dudes around!
This may just be a rumor, but I heard Norwell was going to be giving $5 hand jobs to pay for his gas. I am bringing 10 dollars and since i am generous, I will even let him get the easy one.....
Sonny, you should fly up and freeze your ass off with the rest of us. I would like to peek inside your twisted mind.....
The majority of those names are familiar, and I am looking forward to the killer work! Hope to meet each one of you! And might I add, those pencil renderings are nothing short of amazing! Crazy skills! -Shawn www.imperialhouse71.com
That's alot of "Automotive Creativity" right there! Huge amount of talent...Gonna be a great day... Joel
Cant wait for this weekend to hang with all you's guys! Gonna be a great time- I'm sharing a booth with Ed(ewt2) and Del Swanson! Stop buy, say hi! That means you too Joel!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sonny- If I had the spare dough, I'd pay to fly ya up here man!!!! Hell, if you're all up to it, a bunch of us will be in town Friday nite after setting up at the fairgrounds. Come on out and tip a few cold ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you may have missed a few, but we have 70 vendors this year (up from 45 last year!!!) and I can't remember what everyone signed up to sell. There are also a LOT of pinstripers including Kro (Keith Roberts), One-Armed Bandit, Matt Jeliniak, Von Hartmann, John Hoogeveen, Kacy Banks, Jeremy Pedersen, and Jerry Fraser, and those are just some of the ones with booths! I know quite a few more will be walking around including Britany, that gal that striped my wife's car.
Ed- Sinclair is right across the aisle from us.....we'll bomb him with paper airplanes...heh heh heh!!!!!!!
He's at the far east end of the building- we'll need to engineer some serious long- range bombers! Lotsa hang time!
I'd be interested in getting some door lettering painted along with some stripes on the International Hemi. Whats the going rate these days?
Yeah, I'm a dumbass. Hey everyone, Tuck is an artist and he's vending, too. He'll be right next to a big ASS.
I'm not artistic- I'm autistic... two different things entirely... I was just making sure I didnt slip though the A.S.S. crack or something- I got the email now- thanks bro- Cant WAIT!
Cool that you'll be there vending too Tuck! Look forward to meeting you! Hope the A.S.S. your setting up by won't be consuming beans and cheap beer!
Wow, what a line-up!!! Hope to run into all at some point during the day. I'm pretty sure all the Chicago BrushMasters will be wanderin' around, some are even red shirts. Also look for Jack "The Italian" Giachino, Greg Widaman, Jeff Williams, Tom Kelly (IL), Jive, Tom Evans and Dan Colyer just to mention few. Quite a few legendary Chicago area stripers and sign painters frequent the Pile-Up but most don't "work the show" 'cause they're afraid of missin' somethin'.
I heard your bringing your girlfriend.... will your Mom and Dad allow there daughter to stay out for the weekend?
No, Mom and Pa won't let sis come out for the weekend, so I got my cousin Sally for a date instead.......but just in case things fall through with you, Jeff.
