    My favorite time of the year is the Round Up time... Austin is my home away from home and I was ready to hang with my Austin Family!!

    Well as many of the Round Up stories started out leaving at the **** crack of dawn... the sun rise was amazing.. I had packed up myself with Merch and All my camera gear and headed out on the first leg of my 1500 + miles of road..by my self..

    So now the show is over the *** party ruled!!

    One of the things that was planned was to shoot El Toro for MFS so we set it up for Sunday
    Morning (Thanks Rocco and Miriam)

    Lloyd Harlan is turning 75 this year and has owned and raced the El Toro / 666 Model A since 1959... Great car.. Great Story.. Great Family!!! After the shoot he pulled the car out and did some nice burn outs :D
    [​IMG]

    After the shoot we headed out the The Salt Lick for some good eating.. I headed up with Bob Sr. in his roadster... perfect weather for a roadster..

    Wednesday came and it was time to say good by to Austin and all my friends and head to Fort Worth to meet up with (Jivin Jer) Jerry and shoot his awesome Jr Conway Clone..
    I got there about 9:00 am and spent a few hours filming and hanging out.. Jerry is a great guy and the shoebox rules!

    After that I headed out to do a little update on my buddy Mr. Brian B***!!! He's got some awesome stuff at the shop..

    Great to see you again if only for a short while. I am finding inspiration watching MF 5.5. I enjoyed seeing the car go from a heap of parts to GLORY all in a few beers and a bowl of popcorn. Makes it look easy & we all know that these damn buggies can try or patience & our wallets. Again, very inspirational. Thanks for that.

    p.s....Laura sends her love.
     
  20. I heart evil even though he smells funny. See ya at LA roadster show and remember what we talked about for the next film. Those go pro camera rule and next on my list to have after seeing you two with them.

    Hey great shots Evel. Sounds like you had a good time. Did you happen to get any pictures of that bare metal 49 Cadillac at the A.S.S.?
