Digger Monday...Jon Kosmoski

Kosmoski is House of Kolor, you know it, the best paint manufacturer in the world. All right, that's a bold statement. Now the line is manufactured by Valspar. Anyway, the quality is still good, but with much better distribution.
Jon's an innovator. Back in the birth of candies and pearls, the shit sucked. It faded, clears couldn't tolerate high mils, etc. Well Jon and HOK changed that all. He got into chemistry to make the best custom paint, period. I took one of Jon's seminars HOK did at Bergen Tech back in the early '90's. Hands down one of the coolest guys Ive ever met.
Anyway, here's Jon's Winged Scarab, a digger built  and painted by himself. It's basically a drop neck frame mated to a SB&F hardtail with a SB&F girder. Jon fabbed up all the sheet metal out of 17 guage and handled all the paint, striping, and goldleaf. Power is supplied by a 1200 shovel fed by the notoriously ill fated S&S dual throat.

Digger Monday...The Viper Sidecar

The Viper sidecar rig is a product of three guys who joined forces to create Advance Concepts. The digger is a Kawi 1000 caged in a SB&F frame with a fifteen over girder supplied by CCW. This rig was so f'n hot, you would of thought every digger would've been runnin' one. These guys should've sold a bunch of these, I wonder what happened?

Digger Monday...Alan Sperr

Alan worked for SB&F in the late 70's and early 80's. He did tank and frame fabrication as well as mechanical work. Al wasn't partial to a particular brand. Check out his Kawi and Sporty. I was never a fan of their tanks, but they built one of the finest looking girders!
