Customs Shuten's ICE TRUCK rules R&C!

Did anyone else get this in the mail who didn't subscribe??? I haven't been a subscriber for several years, but yesterday I got this issue. No explanation or subscription offer.

 

maybe you have a friend that bought you a sub when it was on sale for eight bucks a year
check label for expire date

 

Here 'tis at the Chicago World of Wheels....

 

Nah, nobody likes me $8 worth! Must be a one time deal to try to win me back, looks like it expires June 09. Sure was nice havin' something new to read in the bathroom, I was gettin' a little tired of the "same old ****".

 

It is an Honor sharing Covers w/ Dave Shuten's Ice Truck.

Dave Shuten's Ice Truck Rules!!!!!!!!!!!........................

 

Congrats. Even though I haven't gotten my copy, yours looks like a nice car.

 

The Ice Truck Rocks! but then again I'm partial to old show rods and I enjoyed Painting it for Dave
FRITZ

 

I like many of the old show rods.....but the Ice Truck was different, it was just SO *****in'! Almost as wide as it is long, big bad Buick engine, way wiiiide chrome plated wires on Indy car tires....what this show car had that many did not was the pure exaggerated styling that the concept art had (which, of course, was AWESOME Ed Newton work). A very rare case of the actual car coming to life that is every bit as outrageous as the illustration!
Dave did a fantastic job (as usual) bringing this ****er back to it's former life.

 

I love the Ice Truck and the location of the photo shoot. Shooting at the Packard plant in the daytime, is like doing a photo shoot in a dark alley in the bad part of town in any other city.

 

My v8 pinto was in auto buff, did I just say that out loud?

 

Turns out we're both right. Nobody likes me $8 worth, but it turns out my buddy chopper99 here on the HAMB like's me $5 worth. He got an offer to sign up a friend for $5, so I just got a late Christmas present! Mystery solved.Thanks Jim.

 

I can't wait to see it in person. It looks pretty good in print, but I wanna see it up close. I've been hearing about it ever since Fritz went out and painted it way back when. Even though it's not a veiling job, like the Druid Princess was... Or as wild as some of those Indian Larry tins I've seen Fritz do, it looks F.A.B. Nicely put together Dave. Congrats!

Bil
nice day for a mow

 

that thing is amazing, I want to go for a ride in little fast circles till I p*** out!

 

Can someone help me get in touch with Dave Shuten? I may have found an F-4 map light.

 

I talked to him today and it seems someone has already found him one. Says he really appreciates it. Guess he's got more people looking out for him than he realizes! Ha! Ha!

 

That's cool then. I have lots of warbird contacts so I thought I'd try to help.
