I've been into this thing called hot roddin' and lead sleddin' for about 12 years now. I've been attending carshows since about age 7. I used to go to the RG Canning shows in Long Beach(who remembers those!?), The Los Angeles Exposition center and such. I have an admiration for all types of car customizing with the exception of imports! Look, just because you throw expensive 20" rims on your car and a hook up a stereo that can be heard 4 blocks away, doesnt qualify you for having a custom car! Candy paint & Metal Flake makes my mouth water. I'm over the satin/suede look for the most part, I'ts time to put the paint back on the car if you have nothing else to do to the car. Am I into traditional, yes. But knowing there were not "alot" of cars running around in the 40's,50's,60's in primer as a finished product has become to bother me. It's played out. I will admit I did it myself, but have seen the errors in my ways. My car deserves a "tits" paintjob! I currently help out Moldy with the RatFink Carshow promotions(this will be year #6) and also do promotions for Viva Las Vegas for Tom Ingram.(this will be my 4th year). I figure the only way to spread the gospel is to be about the gospel. btw, "FNG" means fuc***' new guy or groupie? haha, nice
