What Can You Say?

I've been on vacation the past week, and while driving home, we see a bright beacon in the sky. At first I was thinking it was from Newark airport, but the skies were clear. Then it dawned on me, tomorrow (today) is 9/11 and it was from ground zero. I live less than 15 minutes from the city and could see the Towers from my neighborhood. Almost everyone I know has someone close to them that was injured or lost their lives in the attack, worked as emergency services, or as volunteer rescuers, etc. What can you say...Never Forget.

Showrod Sunday...Gary Meyers' Vampyre

Gary built this killer bubbletop with good friend Elden Titus. To keep build costs down, they used an '87 S-10 with Air Ride suspension and dropped in the tried and true small block 350. They channelled the cab 8 inches over the frame, chopped the roof off and used it as a starting point for their all steel body. The bubble was blown in 1/4 inch plexi, and was probably the most expensive part of the build. The rod brought home a ton of trophies for their efforts including America's Top Custom at the Leadsled Spectacular and the Go For The Gold 20 grand top prize at Darryl Starbird's Tulsa show. Not too shabby!

Sideways Saturday...

Hang it out, but don't get outta control. Enjoy the weekend, fuckers!

Push It...

My daughter's pedal car was a hit at Lead East. She won a Top 9 sticker for it. She was also called up on stage to pick the winning  ticket for the Make A Wish 50/50. I'll post my show pics soon, I just haven't had time to dump them off the camera.

It's Here...

30th anniversary. See ya there! Enjoy the weekend and be safe, fuckers!
