    These are pics I took at the sema show, I felt I should put them in a seperate post because I 'm sure everybody will put in their .02 . This is what I know and or feel, when django came out to L.A. one of our stops was so-cal I think just the tail gate was done and also those little side do-hickeys. Which leads me to believe he probably got that truck a week before at the most. and I believe django showed up maybe two weeks before SEMA, so I don't think he did a bad job in three weeks. so here are the picks from the show. first the leave behind which visualy is ok but the bio thing is totaly gay.

    the tail gate section, I am not particulary fond of the spacing at the bottom edge, I think it needs to be spaced like the top before the panel ends

    these wheels are nice except for the etched boyd script. but I bet he did it for free and since the center caps already had the v8 logo on them he has to brand them somehow

    With the possible exception of the injector stacks, everything about that truck just looks really, really wrong to me.

    mrcole your up rather late.one other detail you can not see from the photos is the body appears to be bead blasted but me thinks he just shot small flake and then a clear with a flatner over it.

    GAY!

    No different from the hillbillys that get ahold of a new dodge and STICK on scoops, antennas, stickers, spoilers... even if those mods function... it "looks" fake. Whatever he was trying to pull off FAILED.

    talk about selling out and going comercial. Jimmy is a talented guy but what were they thinking??? he's become an advertising tool for So Cal Speed Shop. i hated those wheels on his cool truck, should go back to the wires. i bet the old skool wires would look better on that other "thing" too. it's just WRONG!!!

    I won't accuse Jim of "selling out" or "going commercial" because, frankly, if you're concerned about selling out, you do it the first time you concede to anyone who's paying you to do something you don't want to do. I know the guy well enough to know that he does what he wants and doesn't give much of a rat's ass what other people think. At the point that he became enough of a marketable commodity at So-Cal that he got his own line of shirts and a guitar, he also became the in-house trad-rodder, and with all of So-Cal's OEM connections, he also became their "connection to the youth". I like Chapouris. I like Thacker, I like Shine, and I like what that company's done. They've built a killer brand, they've made some good deals, and they've built a lot of cool cars. As I said in a previous post, at the point that Ford decided they wanted a "Shine F-150", they were trying to capitalize on the history of the Ford truck. Nobody involved with that operation would tell you different. And at the point Shine decided to align himself with that, well, he made his decision. And frankly, at this point in his career, if he felt like he were being exploited, he could go damn near anywhere he pleases, or even start his own shop. Apparently, he's stuck with So-Cal because it works for him.

    I liked the wires on Jim's truck, but I also dig the new wheels. And I wouldn't be surprised if Boyd did the wheels for free in exchange for the script on the spokes. After all, the modded Stude wheels on the '34 were jigged up at Boyd's place. Frankly, if you like the F-150 or don't (I personally think it's pretty cool, though I share the opinion that it was probably done pretty quickly--the Lincoln LS So-Cal did for last year's SEMA show was done in nine days), if you were gonna accuse Shine of selling out, you should've done it the moment he stopped building cars for himself.

    Quick bit of full disclosure: I write for a magazine in which So-Cal advertises, and they once gave me a car to drive for ten days halfway across the country and back. This post can't help but be informed by those experiences, but those experiences also have led me to believe that, although they charge far too much for their t-shirts, So-Cal's a good company--and independent of that, they've built a number of cars I'm really into. That said, they *do* have their eyes on the dollars, but in a way that I don't feel is unethical or lame. Building cars and exploring ideas about them is what they do. At the core, they're a hot rod shop, and they kick a lot back into the grassroots community; more than most companies their size would. Okay. End of sermon.
    Rock.

  19. Next thing they'll get him to do is spray bomb a Focus and it'll be just as cool.

    What a lame idea.......and you still couldn't afford it.

    his hotrod kicks ass totally a real cool car

    that f150 is not...

    i dont really mind newer cars modern pickups can be made quite cool, so its not about that...
     
  21. I really like Shine's projects, for the most part. I just think this truck goes in the wrong direction, it just doesn't work for me. I guess it's all a matter of taste, thank God we don't all like the same things or the world would be boring.

    Truck sucks.

    Jimmie is a tool and he knows it and doesn't let that bother him. Still does his own thing, but lets the old white men use his name.

    Watch the homegrown movie "The Target Shoots First".
     
  23. Well Screamindave I like So-cal too. And I like Shine, hell we hung out and drank beer for awhile in the hotel parking lot in bonniville and him and my son hit it off really well.(me and his father-in-law laughed at them). HIS 34 pick-up is one of the coolest hot rods ever built.


    Butt......That late model F-100 looks like something HATCH would photoshop for a good laugh here on the HAMB. The louvers are ok in the tailgate but the wheels are stupid looking as well as the hood treatment. And FAKE zoomies,Whats up with that?

    Just MY opinion. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I'm not sure if I would've wasted THAT much time photoshopping a new F150...(well, maybe a photoshopped confederate flag)....The truck sure looks like a "KmartKustom" to me!!!! [​IMG]

    Next time anyone sees him ask to see his bank balance. I'm betting its HUGE compared to before he got recognition with So-Cal. Its seems lately anyone who "Sells out" is a target. When you're all alone and no one can read your mind ask yourself, WOULD I DO THE SAME? There are about 98% who would and the other 2% are the REAL PEOPLE. Just my opinon.

    Hell, I'm not scared, I like it. ESPECIALLY the wheels.

    Could live without the signs on the doors though.
