Okay...long story, um, short. I'm finally thrashin' in the interior shop & threw my back out yesterday (two or three very SLOW moving days in the shop to come!). Anyway, I'm sittin' on the couch bored tonight cause TV ****s and until my pain killers kick in I can't sit at the computer...SO, I start scribblin' on the couch. I don't know if anyone but Little Borris is on the HAMB...But THANKS guys for your influence when I was in highschool!!! Aside from many study hall hours doodleing, it kept an amatuer artist busy tonight...S***ch
thanks guys... I'd love to build it!!! Dad has a '31 cab and parts I'm tryin' to deal him out of!!! Let's see, a NASTY Nailhead...ribbed Firestones up front and Dirt tracker's out back. A wild Z'ed ch***is and ya all know I dig BIG, um, Headlights How about yellow paint with Orange '16 inch steelies???

Killer art...now build it......and keep drawing.....Them shark nose snouts are the kats ***!!!!//////very kool!
Thanks guys... Rustin' that colored version is awesome! I may dig out the colored pencils a try my hand at that. I've been takin' notes from ChromedRat how to "colorize" so that may fill the "down time" tonight!!! As far as the scoop goes, I did it for a customer who had a very wicked '57 Chevy. Anyway, I did it as a one off and he was stoked... about a week after we finished the car, I noticed Johnson's Hot Rods was offering 'em brand new Just as an aside, when we went to Carlisle's fall swapmeet, a guy had one made from aluminum from "in the day" for around $700. It was a great piece of artwork....Maybe someday I carve another a do a mold....
Neat art work there. I kinda like the B &W one better because I can mentally add my own colors... that's just me... What do stone carvers know about color anyway? When I first read the ***le, before opening it I was thinking "And I bet those guys wre/are thinking Thanks to Joe Henning, Tom Daniel, Ed Newon, and H. Bentley Bradley..."
Hey S***ch, I couldn't leave well enough alone. The one thing I really liked about your '32 Coupe was them big *** headlights mounted soooo really low. As a result I increased the size of the headlights on your drawing. Another thing I like is track roadsters with those big dirt track tires, so I doubled the width of the rear tires. Next I raised the side rails of the bed to line up with the belt line of the cab. Lastly, I changed the colors for the fun of it... they make great pinstripe colors on a gray car. Your drawing is still great! It brings back memories of when you used to do the artwork for a newsletter. I really enjoyed your artwork then and I'm glad to see it once again. The next time I see you I want to subscribe to your Rev magazine. Is your artwork featured in the magazine?
Hey Tom!?!... I dig the changes to the art, and thanks for the kind words!!! I try really hard not to pimp myself in the Mag But I do sneak an occasional line art into the format! Wait till you see the next issue, we have art from ChromedRat plastered from front to back...great stuff... I'm gonna do a number 9 HAMB give-away soon, so stay tuned!!! And DrJ, you're absolutely right...everyone has been influenced by someone.
Joe...red oxide with burgundy/maroon steelies and accents!!! Man I can see an Oxblood tuck and roll interior already with loop carpet and a '32 style dash with a '50 Ford speedo.
Paint it up like 19 hole Doc Matrins (after all they "Kick ***") I'm feeling it - get out there and build it! You might have to hide a CD player somewhere in there to blast out the Ol' Skool Punk. Oi!
