Winter Issue of R&K Hits the Stands Soon

Just received my contributors copy. It'll hit the stands on December 6th, but here's a sneak peak.



A feature I shot and wrote on a friend's Indian Chief is included. I'm really happy with the layout guy's work on this one and the way he used my images.



The Indian is something else, and one of many in the owner's collection.



I also did a story on Hotrod-A-Rama, a show my friends put on up here. For every 100 garbage car shows, there's one like this. It's an absolute blast.

I know times are tough, but go buy a copy of the mag. if you can. You'll be supporting an independently created and produced magazine put together by a handful of small-timers who do it for the love. You can find copies at Barnes & Nobles or here.

Gone

Sold within 24 hours of advertising it. The cool part: A 14 year old girl and her dad bought it to re-do for her first vehicle. I like that.

G8 of H8

Gate at the entrance of an access road that leads down to one of the boat yards in the neighborhood.



Ouch.

Sunday

Nice day here - went out for a walk with the team. Something is a little off in this photo.



Too much camera gets you the stink eye.



Not only do the shoes go on the hands, the sunglasses are worn upside down. Ruler.



Ring leader, chief commander, backup photographer, and wifester.

Less Plastic

It'd be neat if newer cars had some metal in their interiors. Maybe some weirdo material on the seats too.



Wait, a lot of new cars do have weirdo material on the seats now. No metal though, just plastic. I wish the retro design thing would end and people who like old things could live their lives knowing that what they love isn't being bastardized "with a twist" by some "modern" designer who can't come up with something original of his or her own.

Really though, none of it matters, right? My old Custom 500 that the kid I sold it to nearly destroyed immediately. Note super cool leave the headlights on for picture move. Ugh.

Time for it to go

Went out and took some pictures of the old Studebaker yesterday. Time for it to go to a new home.



I had high hopes for the old thing, but I'm trying to simplify and am selling most of my projects. I'd rather spend the time with the family.



One happy running old Harley, one Harley project, and that's it. Less is more, more or less. Oh, and don't park there, OK?

'40 Mercury

Clean one from over the summer at Billetproof NW, a car show thinger. The car was on a poker run we went on too, which was cool. Always good to see folks driving 'em.
