Christmas Eve

Wonder how things would have been for me if it wasn't for this..
I may have been a architect ?
The Beatnik Bandit was my favorite from
the original 16 Hot Wheels

Frames Ahoy collage

I made a collage of the frames I shipped out in 2014
Missed a couple pictures over the year. But got a snap shot of most of them
I shipped out about 60 frames this year. (haven't done a official count-just by my posts)
Pretty darn good I'd say. 2015 I want to ship over 100 !  Keeping reading my blog...surprises ahead.
(copy the collage if you want- I don't mind)

Sal's 1938 truck, done and gone

Search "Sal" in the little box in the upper left corner.. see it?
A brief history of his truck to scroll thru
Well, local show it got first place.
And 93 miles later, he sold it to a fellow from NYC. 
Off it goes. Sal is planning on A Model A coupe build next..

added flames to break up the black. Keep your eyes peeled for this in the Empire state

Minnesota coupe update

Adam got the chassis package from us this summer.
Steady progress on the 1929 coupe.
6" chop as I remember..1931 visor nice touch.
And it looks like a 3" channel ? 
Got some Firestone cheater slicks.  Keep up the good work buddy ! !
Be sure to send pictures when it's rolling on all 4
mocking up grill to get correct sizing

the slicks are causing the coupe to wheelie !

tea time in Ohio

Joe got his frame for the T coupe he's building. Received this email yesterday.

Eric,
The frame arrived today and I can't tell you how happy I am. It is beyond expectations. Great craftsmanship and everything is exactly what I wanted. You told me it would ship the week of the 8th but it arrived on the 8th! 8 working days including delivery to Ohio is unbelievable. I really appreciate your help and suggestions when I called. I have no idea why someone would try to build this for the price you charge. I will be calling to order parts.
 
Thanks,

Joe
