How many Hot Rod art collectors do we have on the HAMB?

Can this be cl***ed as art ?

cos i glued it together and painted it !

I am an artist I am an artist

A 3-D panel by Kustommixt.

A frying pan by Vance.
A panel by Don Penttilla circa 1970.
A panel by Delaware George.
A panel by Steve Baller.
A panel by Geoff Rea(Whodaky)
A panel by Rollie Guertin

 

I have my fair share of Hotrod Art. I can always use some more!

 

I've been fortunate to pick up a number of prints by James Ibusuki. His p***ion is '60s drag racing and his work is absolutely amazing!

 

Yeah, I'd love to get a shot at Bluto's stash as well!
I am also crazy about car movies. Got a lot of oldies and odd ducks way up to The World's Fastest Indian. Maybe there's a new top of the heap for COOL movie that really nails the mid-fifties and connects to us old farts in the 21st century.

DEUCE of SPADES !
I can NOT believe one (very hot) chick made this great movie! Totally a Guys hot rod movie, but story will grab your girl and make a LOT of ya all weepy. Find someone with a copy and watch it. Then BUY your own (you'll wanna!). Gotta respect the art. Great acting, oustanding rods, cameos by famous people... just great.
DAMN! she is good ! And my "Betty" was Charlotte.
Who was yours?
tommy in Iowa

 

This is one room 10 years ago.........there were more and now having moved we are going to be unpacking for years. And by the way life isn't a contest:

He who dies with the most toys ........ is dead!

 

Yup, I have stuff from Mayabb, Norwell, Todd Jones, Froggett, Weesner, Sorchik, Tramp Warner, M.J., Don Edwards, Alan Johnson, Ray Drea, Jeff Williams, Brett Mason, Jimmy Flintstone, Larry Williams, Dave "letterman" jefferies, and a bunch more. The list of "wants" is way longer!

 

I also have posed for Tom Fritz several times

This is me and one of my trucks

 

I collect a little...

 

I really don't have anything other than a Von Franco X-mas card and my own stuff, I really would like to get some more of the greats though.

 

I have more stuff than I can hang on the walls. The definition of a hoarder is only that his pad is too small, eh?

Denise, thank you for sharing all the originals you have in your home. Loved seeing those!

And some more unique artwork photos showing up here. Nice little adder thread to the Friday Night Art Shows!

 

Collector or hoarder...I guess it all how you look at it.











I need more walls.

 

This is one my buddy Steve and I did for the "Rat Fink Revenge" exhibit.
Its Rat Fink welding up a metal sculpture of his boss.
I liked this one so much that I really wanted to keep it but a deal's a deal - off it went.
Supposedly these will eventually go up for auction. If it does I'm gonna try to get it back. There's a few pieces I wish I'd never let go of. This is definitely one.

 

Very cool you have one of the big Gersner sets too. Was yours ordered by you or someone else...... Mine is walnut

I don't wantta to think what they'd cost today.........

 

The last time I saw the statue it was in the gift shop of the Petersen on display. The sign said it wasn't for sale but I took this photo almost 3 years ago so ya never know. Might want to call them and see if you could buy it, wouldn't hurt.

I found this for sale used and got a pretty good deal on it. They dont make the roller chests in the US any more.

 

Make it and collect it.....

 

Geez Denise I think your way cuter than Tingler portrayed you!
Nice collection you have going!

 

It should have a plaque on the front with who it was made for and a production date.....

There are just very few of those boxes mine was made for me in 1984

The quality had gone straght to hell in the last years Sad to see an old company go in steep decline

 

I have a few pieces, all done by one artist (Keni Hill). Don't have the room nor can I afford any more. All of cars that I have owned.

 

I collect my own,if that counts.Bomonester-? print is in my future.

 

I have several Larry Grossman prints hanging in the man cave, my favorite is "Deuces Wild at Virgil's Flying A Service"...
