This weekend marked the third annual "Panel Jam" The Brush put on. Like the first 2 years, the Pack Rats had the HONOR of being invited to hang with some real talent and enjoy a day full of BSing and great company! We took a ton of pics, so this post is gonna be of some of the artist's pulling lines. I'll start another thread with the rides.. Unkl Ian was there, and as ussual, nice to see you again. Now, lets get down to the pics.. I want to start with these. This is "Mad 57olds" ride getting the RF treatment. But whats important here is that it's getting done by one very talented 14 year old kid!!! Z-man (FuelheadZ on here) pulling a few lines on Dat Dirty Rat's '62 Impala.. Z-man doing a little 'Tiki' work to the back of Larry's T.. 'Von Straus' adding a few lines to the shell.. Rondvoo doing up one KILLER 'Tiki' work on the bed cover of the T. The final result. Clint was doing this awesome pin-up Dave did this RF work.. Here's a Pack Rat panel someone did..don't know who, there were so many guy's there it was hard to tell who was doing what.. Thanks again to all involved!! It was a true pleasure for us to be a part of this gathering. Rat....
[ QUOTE ] That kid kicks ***! He has a huge future in front of him!!!! Way to go!!! [/ QUOTE ] Thats a fact! His dad, a striper as well, was very proud, as were all the rest of us on-lookers. He was very quiet, kinda shy, but never strayed from his work. He was all business. Rat....
Thanks for posting the pics PackRat;I didn't realize that Brian's thing was this weekend(although I'm sure Ian must have told me somewhere along the line).Wish I could've come up(my aunt lives in Jamestown and just got back from Florida)but had to stroke this weekend on some trophies for a bike show and the proposals for the motor home graphics. That 14 year old is very talented(and he's left-handed to boot!);I hope he stays with it.Looks like you guys had a great time! Say hello to Brian for me when you see him again. Ray
Tony,always a pleasure.We need to get you guys Striping one of these days. Young Cory,and his Dad,Dave the Letterman,are tight with The Cheaters and will be slinging paint at the Hundret Car Pileup.
That 14 year old has one hellof a talent, that is incredible! I wish I could do that... Where is he from? Local kid? I've got to meet him, maybe he can teach me some of this stuff lol. Thanx for sharing the pics Tony, looked like good times. Greg

[/ QUOTE ] Hey Unkl, i'd love to play around with striping, but Dat Dirty Rat is the ONE to do it. He has the natural talent of artistry, and to be honest is damn good at it!! I do my best work with tools like grinders, welders, and HAMMERS!! Dave was telling us about the 'Pile up'.. Dave's a real cool guy.
That looked like a great time as usual. Thanks for sharing . The kid definately has the "chops". His future looks bright. Joel
Hell yeah these panel jams look like so much damn fun it almost makes me want to cry that I live so far away. One of these days I'm gonna just spend every dime I have and visit one of these damn things. Thanks for sharing the pics you dirty bas-turd
Dirty has that kind of talent? Let's get the boy some brushes! Ditto to what everyone else said on the kid. Anything car related going on in the Rottenchester area Saturday night? We'll be out there. Looking for something to do.
[ QUOTE ] Dirty has that kind of talent? Let's get the boy some brushes! [/ QUOTE ] No doubt about it! I bought him 3 Mack brushes for X-mas. But he's been busy with his 1 year old son, and family stuff so hasn't had the time to play. It's coming though i'm sure. There may be a cruise night, i'll have to check and get back to you. Rat.......
The 14 yr old (Corey) is truly 'mind-blowin'!!..I really enjoyed watching him work,,,,on his 1st car!! Thats right...thats the 1st piece he has done..so if Mad57 every sells that car,,,the trunk is coming off!! Thanks to everyone that made this event possible! The Pinheads,,you guys ROCK & are the biggest inspiration to me!Thanks to all of my fellow Pack Rats for pulling together to get all of our rides there...I love you kats! You guys are truly the best i know and one of the most talented i have ever met! Thanks to you all!! Dirty
Dirty : You can practice on Tony's car, then join us at the Cavalcade of Cars in Hamburg next March. We'll be getting together to do some painting and raise some cash for some deserving children.
Corey's work is awesome...it was an honor to let him paint a Fink on my trunk lid. and Dirty's right, when I sell the car it will be minus the trunk lid!!!! It fact I am sending him my leather (that is 50 plus years old) to have him paint the Flying Eye Ball on the back. Corey and his Dad are good people that understand the Kulture and what it's all about. Hats off to Brian and Paulette for doing a kick *** job plannibg this years Jam. Can't wait until next year. and Dirty remember "it's all about the club"...
Truly and artist that 14 year old kid. Un-freaking- believable...so cool to see some of the young crowd doing other things but watching TV and Video Games. Im blown away...im lucky if i could paint a stick RAT.
