"Who Cares?" The Duane Peters Story

2011-08-25T12:06:00.000-07:00

Although this killer documentary has been out for a while now I felt the need to talk about it. Who cares? The Duane Peters story is a must purchase for any true fan of skateboarding, punk rock, Duane Peters, or any of his 5 bands. Packed with legendary interviews and great early skateboarding footage this film is just something you gotta see! ... you might learn something from it!

If you haven't seen it... Watch it! If you have... Watch it again! Duane is a true inspiration to anyone who chooses to live life against the grain and not completely follow any of the social norms. He's hit the gutter, risen, and lived to tell the story.

Stop by Duane's Official web presence and get the down and dirty on what he's currently up to!

Thank you Duane for being you!

Garageland: Art Show and Benefit for Strummeville, August 4, 2011

2011-08-14T20:01:00.000-07:00

Garageland Art Show and Benefit for Strummerville was an amazing show with an awesome cause. For those of you who are not familiar with Strummerville, here's a little information I took from the Strummerville website to bring you up to speed.

Strummerville is a registered charity that gives support to aspiring musicians and help to projects that help change the world through music.

Set up by the friends and family of Joe Strummer in the year after his death, the charity seeks to reflect Joe's unique contribution to the music world by offering support, resources and performance opportunities to artists who would not normally have access to them.

Great artists, great music, great venue, and awesome sponsors equal one hell of an event that you wouldn't want to miss. For those of you who did, Too Bad! But you can still participate by supporting Strummerville by either donating or purchasing sone killer merch. http://www.strummerville/

47th Annual LA Roasters Show and Swap 2011

2011-06-24T20:41:00.000-07:00

For those who are familiar with this awesome annual event, you know that there's just about every flavor of roadsters and/ or coupes present here. Just enough here to make your eyes hurt and your wallets crawl back into your pockets.

For those who aren't so familiar, here's some history taken directly from the Roasters site;

The L. A. Roadsters Car Club was formed in 1957 and is still going strong. The Club is well known for their beautiful 1936 and older roadsters and their Club uniform of red shirts and white pants.

Enough of the talk... Let's get on with the show!

Watcha! Thought you were only gonna see roadsters now didn't you?

Here's another exception to the heard!

VCCA - Felix Chevrolet ALL Chevrolet Car Show - Sunday, May 29, 2011

2011-06-03T15:39:00.000-07:00

This much anticipated show celebrated Chevrolet's 100th, Vintage Chevrolet Club of America's 50th, and Felix Chevrolet's 90th year and sold out of its 200 allotted months before the event. Although it just so happened to land on the same Memorial Day weekend as the 30th Annual Cruisin' Nationals event in Santa Maria, there was plenty to look at.

Sometimes it's nice to take a look at classics built from the ground up to look as if they'd just been driven off the assembly line... with a few subtle modifications that is!

Felix Chevrolet off of Figueroa in Downtown L.A. This place has been supplying the Greater Los Angeles area with Chevrolet's for the better part of 90 years- just a few years huh?

I know it's not a Chevy but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap a pic of this killer Merc- hadn't seen this one around these parts before.

Here it is from the tail end! Nice!

Bagged '49-'53 Chevrolet P/U

Gotta love the 1.5" white wall / astro-supreme combo!

Now here's an engine compartment you can eat out of! Super clean straight six with a 2-2 set up, Offenhauser intake, Fenton headers and not a drop of oil on the block.

Not sure who manufactured this green and cream two-wheeler but it's cool nonetheless.

Another super cool/ clean straight six equipped with single carb, functioning oil-bath filter- wiper fluid resevoir... and braided hoses?!

Same motor from the other side... Nice plug wires!

1937 Chevrolet Sedan Bomb!

Front ends for days!

1938 Chevrolet Coupe

The super mean and mellow green machine! 1948 Chevrolet Delivery

1948 Chevrolet Coupe equipped with window A/C and bug screen! Hadn't seen one of those before.

Probably reminiscent of what the Felix lot looked like in '54... minus the apartment complex blanketing the background

Super clean '54 Bel Air Hard Top

1953 Chevrolet Hard Top with Sombrero hub caps

This one didn't quite make it into the show but found close enough parking. Oops! You're parked in a red zone!

A couple more beauties parked just outside of the lot.

That's All Folks!

George Barris 2011 Culver City Car Show - May 7, 2011

2011-05-09T13:36:00.000-07:00

The Barris "Cruisin' Back to the 50's" car show is an annual event that has descended on the business lined streets of downtown Culver City for the better part of 7 years. Living in Southern California and attending several classic car shows a year, we feel at ease to say that this event brings out some of the finest cars the Golden State has to offer. Aside from a slew of awesome rides, cool vendors, and tasty eats; we were blessed to catch the end of Deke Dickerson and his band putting on a great performance.

All in all, this was a great show and a beautiful day in Southern California! Here's a glimpse of what we were able to see and capture.

Oh and by the way, there's a new artist in town. If you get a chance stop by www.bomonster.com and check out some ghoulicious art work. Bomonster slings out scratch board style screen prints, lithos, original artwork, t-shirts, and stickers featuring classic dragsters, roadsters, and ghastly creatures.

Now it's on with the SHOW!!!

The back end of the Barris Kargoyle!

George Barris himself enjoying the day!
