Hot Rods A Deuce Roadster I built in The Rodders Journal #53!

Thanks guys! I'm really proud of the car, and everyone that had a hand in it. Just to name a few: Eric (E.C.), who built the 283; Bucky (famous59), who helped me with the paintwork on the motor among other things; Collision Specialists, the guys in Mansfield that painted the body and frame; Sean (Fatluckys), for doing the amazing interior; and Steve (ERNST), for making it happen.

If you'll notice, all those guys are Hamb members as well.

Tyler, there was a small snap-shot of my '49 Coupe in issue #21...in the coverage of the first Lonestar Roundup. I did also take home The Rodders Journal Award from that show, but I think that was only because somebody else had already picked Big Ric's '40.

 

Well deserved press,really nice work cograts,it was the 1st thing I read in my copy both cars just plain nail it

 

Both cars are PURRRRFECT!! Congrats for the accomplishment and the ink.

Well done, well done Mr. Bass and everyone involved! Three cheers for the Texas Playboy!

 

Congrats Brian! Definitely well deserved and I am pretty sure this won't be the last of your cars to hit the Rodders Journal. Keep up the great work. I always look forward to seeing what you are creating.

 

yes.so good to be so close to these top notch builders on the hamb.i havent been putting anything togeather in five years and i can still get my jollies through some detailed builds on here. thanks and congradulations on the mag

 

That's pretty bitchin,BassMaster!!!! Any more detail shots? what does is have for a motor? Who built the one with the injected motor? Or did I miss that?

 

That car is BE-YOU-TYFUL!!! Well done!

 

Congrats!!! Having a car in ink is one of the coolest feelings ever. I had the Comet I built for my wife in CarCraft a few years back in I was on cloud 9 for over a year. Just a heads up, let the owners know they may get a call from a company called "In the news" http://inthenewsonline.com/ They make a really cool wall hanging of your car in print at a fair price, I got a few to give to people who helped me with the build and I would strongly recomend they get one, they are worth every penny and it would be a cool Thank You to all that helped.

 

Congratulations on the article! It's so encouraging to see a small shop get the recognition it deserves and brings us back to the way things used to be, where creativity and skill trump a credit card.

My hats off to you!

 

Congrats and thanks for the heads-up that #53 is out. I am on the lookout.

 

congrats you are very talented

 

And of course, we should thank those two "gold chainers" that had the two cars built! ;- )

This just serves as a reminder that for some of us, this hot rod thing is a business - as well as a passion. And writing a check to "artists" such as Bass or Dave Lane is just another way to support and live the dream. Either of those buyers probably could have built a car themselves (maybe not to those standards), but it would take them YEARS (don't ask me how I know this).

So lets finally drop the whole "built myself vs. had it built" trip. I love the fact that talented craftsmen can find patrons to finance their art form.

A Rodders Journal feature is the "Oscars" of hot rodding for sure!

 

Very well said, congrats again Brian.

 

Nice write-up, Brian. I drooled when I saw it in person at the GNRS. You certainly deserve all the accolades coming your way....

 

Congrats on a beautiful car!

That was a great article on both both cars. Two incredible cars built by two extremely talented builders featured in the best publication out there.

Bass-
I heard that Steve will take forever to do his photo shoots because he is such a perfectionist. Everything from the location, the angle, the lighting, to the lettering on the tires has to be perfect. It shows in his work. His photos are stunning.

 

Congratulations Brian. I saw the Playboy at Autorama last year....just fantastic. Well deserved!

 

A very well-deserved magazine feature for a masterfully-executed hot rod.

Congrats, Bass!

Looking forward to picking up my copy. Congratulations Bass!

 

Congratulations Brian, it's one heck of an article, just awesome. Thank you for being an inspiration to many, me included.

 

I just got that issue, love the car!

 

You deserve it Brian, congrats!

 

Mr. Bass you deserve it, and I sure hope it is only the first!
I also agree that having a 'patron' allows for the artist's vision to be finished!

 

​

Bass -

As I've stated in other H.A.M.B. threads (& on your fb wall), Congrats on the well deserved recognition of your talents!

ERNST's "Texas Playboy" Deuce roadster is just plain Bitchin'! ... as is kaydub's father's Deuce roadster (built by Dave Lane).

 

The www is my favorite. I am building a 30 roadster now and she's a true inspiration for me. One of the best job i have seen. Congrats!

 

Congrats to you man. What a great issue. The 2 Deuce roadsters to start it off then Keith's killer 37 Chevy custom at the end. If I had to pick one over the other, it'd be the one you built for sure !!

 

Here Here!!!

Well said Mr. FritzTownFord! And once again congrats too Mr. Bass!!!

 

Thats One Bad Mother Phucker !!!!

 

Congrats, Brian! Steve's roadster is an awesome car, love everything about it. Everyone involved did a fantastic job, loved Sean's upholstery. It was great reading the story from concept to finish, job well done!

 

Great Feature on both cars....followed the build of the Texas Playboy Congrats Brian!!
