    I dont really know where to start, but ill give it my best...... theres someone who has been my inspiration, mentor, and helped me out tramendously, not because of fame, not because of money, because he's a real freind, he's done everything on his own with no help,and he just so happens to be one of the best damn fab guys in the world but no body realizes it, for one reason,.....he's humble. rarely gives himself credit for what he does, he helpes a lot of people out, and they take all the credit, he works 7 days a week, for self satisfaction, and to see the customers reaction, he over does it everytime for people. im just posting some of his work because he is a true blood hotrodder. a real one in these days of Ego-posers that pat themselves on there backs for some rusty, piles of nothing, that have 5 gallons of bondo on them. anyways, Steve Sellers is a ****ing bad***. sorry i said that but its true, but just check him out. moderators on here are dont like us and will delete this because they wont understand..........but here ya go.some of his work.

    yep, agreed.... Steve Sellers does bad *** stuff, and i've heard lots of good about him.

    as for the "poser" cheap shot towards the mods-- not sure why that's necessary, but thanks for sharing the pics.... good stuff.

    yeah Steve is great fabricator, no one has said different... but your statement kind of put your whole thread right into the ******** category.... maybe you should try again without the dip**** comment....

    I've seen pictures of a lot of his work and I've always been impressed. He's an amazing craftsman and I doubt anyone would argue that point.

    What are the cast things in the last couple of photos?

    I see you have edited your post.
    There are 7 mods on here.
    I am one of them....which one is a "fake poser"?

    Steve is an awesome fabricator and prolly one of the top guys.

    Please dont pull that ******** here.

    Saying you will ram a gun down someone's throat then running down the mods, of a site that you frequent by CHOICE, cant even be explianed by youth. Perhaps its time you let your builds speak for you - which is more then enough as your roadster, like these products are plenty nice.

    Must be me...

    I dont really do any of my own work.

    I just open up the door to my shop in the morning to see that the Metal Elfs have done for me that night.
    Snap a couple of Pics of it for Y'all, and then I drink marquaritas at the Side of the Pool for the rest of the Day...:D



    And yes... S/S does nice work.
     
  15. AMEN! He, as well as yourself are ***ets to this hobby of ours.

    i think i know where Jordan is coming from, and i dont think its an attempt to be negative, hes just pointing out that sometimes the thread filtering seems biased.

    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225240

    about a year ago Steve was posting here, giving advice and there were a few threads that got out of hand because there are guys on here that cant wrap their minds around a personality like his, he is an artist and his fabrication speaks for itself. however some of the things he was saying got misinterpreted and a few took offense, words were said arguments were started and it eventually led to him being booted from the site and some bad blood had been spilled. of which i think most has been resolved, however we lost someone who could have contributed an endless supply of fabrication and home taught know-how. if you read Ryan's post on the link i supplied you can get an idea of what i am talking about, sometimes artist dont have the best communication skills.

    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225240

    now that thats settled lets get back to what this thread was really about before it turns into a drama fest that ends up getting it locked.

    thanks tet**** shot................i should have posted this instead of people getting mad over nothing.
     
  24. You're NOT a nobody. But, the fact that you think you are, makes us respect you that much more. Will I see you in Santa Maria in a couple weeks? As talented as you are now, almost frightens me to think how good you'll be 10 years from now. Rock on brah

    Not that I'm counting, but I just noticed my post count... I'm going to use my 5000th post and bump this up with a positive comment about Steve Sellers.

    I've been following his work over the past couple years or so and I have to say it's by far some of the most incredible work and attention to detail I've ever seen! I made a point when he was in Vegas for Rockabilly Rod Reunion to make sure I was in Vegas also so I could meet the guy and I have to say he was a totally cool guy and very excited to do what he does for this industry, rather he admits it or not. I try to keep up on his work and I always look forward to seeing what he comes up with next.

    I seriously hope that this thread stays positive out of respect to Jordan and his willing to p*** "Thanks!" on to Steve. Plenty of other threads for drama...

    I really should stay out of this, but I wont.
    I don't know either Jorden or Sellers, but if you are so unhappy here, then why are you here? I'm guessing the HAMB has done great things to help you grow your business, sell parts, get your name out there, a TV spot, ect. Then, to talk trash about a mod is completely rediculous.
    Sellers does amazing work, and is reported to be a humble guy. Those are both things I admire in a person.
    I can't figure out the other thing though, good luck with that.
