Here's a kick ass shot from E-man after we were done shooting for the Magazine. Look in the next few months for a spread on this Green Machine.

CHOPPERFEST WINNER 2012

After all the hard work everything paid off! I was once again deemed the Godfather of the Michigan Mafia 2012. I have a ton of people to thank for the support and believing that I could do it! I want to first thank LD Davidson for throwing Chopperfest and giving me the opportunity to be an invited builder for this year. I want to Thank Dean Jones from Detroit for all the support he's givin me and support at Chopperfest this year...it would have been what it was without him. I also want to thank Scott for the paint job...he absolutly murdered it...I couldn't have been happier with his work. I also have to give big props to my guy Kevin Klemick for his help with bringing the 76 shovel back to lifeand on the road. He truly went out of his way to give me a hand with the motor...much appreciated Big Kev!  Next, I want to thank Nurse Nut and E-Man (from The Horse Magazine) for taking time out of their busy schedule to come down from Detroit for the judging. I hada blast this year and look forward to next year.

CHEMICAL CANDY PAINT SHOWED UP!

Scott at Chemical Candy Customs killed this paint job for the build-off. I met Scott at Born Free and he's one cool cat from down in Austin, TX. I had already sent him my tin when catching up with him in Cali but it was good to actually meet the artist behind the paint. We went over a few things of colors and textures so when he got back he could bang it out and in the mail before the show. Once again he came through and had my tin to me 5 days before heading to Michigan! These pics are right after I bolted everything on. It was better than Christmas as a kid!

Custom Hand made seat

Here you have it. The day before my tin showed up I finshed wrapping my seat. I use leather jackets from the GoodWill or Salvation Armyto cut and wrap my seats with. If you want to see how the seat pan is made keep scrolling down....the seat pan is fiberglass and can be messing at times but works great for a perfect fit.

In Memory of my Aunt Lucy

Two years ago we lost this Angel back to the Heavens...and the Hospital she worked at had this bench made in her Memory. Mark is standing proud with his new leg and support shirt. My uncle Mark is basically like the Terminator...nobody can stop this guy...probably the strongest guy I know....and love them both! RIP Lucy....we ALL miss you so Much!
