Matt and Aileen sent mine down under last week, pre-order, GREAT PICS like the other three books, EXCELLENT !!!!
I gave my best hot rod trophy at ventura nats to ruben of the barons for his awesome red 31 coupe. hope to get my car in that mag someday. p.s that cap and wires are off my calori roadster. billy
I first met Matt at Jeb Scolman's shop while Jeb was building my 36 3-window. About a year later I met Aileen when we all gathered at 3:00 am to leave for the drive Round up. We spent 6 days in pretty close proximity and at the end of the trip I had two new friends. This book is grass roots, no budget labor of love. This is not a profitable thing to do, but something that they continue to do it because of pure passion. Most people just think and dream and don't actually do anything about it. Have you ever dreamed of making something but stopped because the effort seemed to big; well that would have been the easier route for them too. These two don't settle for that route. Take the time to get one of thee books; it is well worth it. If nothing else, it keeps the dream alive for two young talented people.
The best part about this whole experience has been the opportunity to meet so many like-minded individuals. Without Throttle Merchants, I would have missed the chance to meet some of the nicest people out there. Without this support Aileen and I have received, we wouldn't be able to continue meeting amazing people along the way. This is purely something we do out of passion and not for income, just as John with Acme Speed Shop has said. Thanks to everyone for the continued support. It is very humbling.
I just got all four. I have to say they are very nicely done. There are cars and shop I've seem covered before, but they are covered in a fresh new way with top notch photography. I recomend checking these out! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Yes! If you havn't got 'em... Go and get 'em. I got 'em and they're a PICTORIAL PLEASURE Thank you Mathew Porter and Aileen Aquino... like, for sure!
