Background stuff is great! Nearly every support vehicle is an open truck. The only shade in sight is on the timing tower guys.
what a grouse stack of photo's the cover photo is a killer! It just looks so right to my eye. The size of the rear tyres is what stands out to me, in the sea if super tall big's of recent times
There is nothing more magical than the Bonneville Pits. I have been 19 times I reckon, and I hope to hit a few more . The people met here emblazed in the memory, sometimes fuzzy on the names .but conversations bring you back to lives that shape you forever. A truly captivating Experience. Thank you Heroes ,from then ,and now.
I think about this more than I should probably admit. At any given moment, I’ve got a running list in my head, sorted by genre like some deranged internal “best of” broadcast that never shuts off. Hot rods. Customs. American Race cars. European Race cars. Pickups. Production cars. Etc... It shifts constantly, depending on mood, what I’ve seen recently, or what ghost decided to crawl back into my brain that day. But the American made race car list right now? It’s locked in. SoCal Coupe (Pre-hammer chop) Gurney Eagle-Westlake Mk I Ford GT Prototype And what’s interesting is how different those three are. The SoCal Coupe feels like defiance. Built by guys figuring it out as they went, chasing speed with grit and instinct. The Eagle is precision. Purpose built. Surgical. The kind of car that makes you believe in engineering as a form of art. And the Ford GT… that’s war. Corporate money, national pride, and a singular goal... Three completely different philosophies. Same end game. And depending on the day, I could argue any one of them deserves the top spot.
If you stare long enough you are transported to another time and place, I swear! I feel the fatigue and excitement.
Funny enough... I have a screen print setup here in my shop for short runs. I did one of these on a whitesville t-shirt for me... and it's so amazing. I might do a small run, but on regular ole t-shirts to sell...
Your choices are all good, although the Gurney Eagle will always be in the #1 spot as far as I'm concerned. Having said that it's a good example of how color can make all the difference - if it were white or red it wouldn't look as good, but that deep blue is just perfect.
