Hot Rod Hoedown 2010...

I checked out Philly's Hot Rod Hoedown to peep some pinstriping, lettering, and wacked out customs. Daddy O's, Kitty Kats, Greasers, and all sorts of Rockabilly were everywhere.
...this guy had about 200 of these custom painted bowling pins for sale
These bikes were badass!
This rod was wicked! It was all army OD green and had sooo many badass custom touches to it! That spider web metal work and skull headlamps are too tough!
...it even had bombs attached underneath! The paintwork was pretty good also.
I dig this lettering. The font captures the spirit of 'hillbilly' perfectly
The big orange scallops on this ride looked dope. Simple, yet effective
Tiki pinstriping on the front of this car looked good with the hood ornament

My friend Alan Johnson striped this car, and I recognized his style almost immediately!
The rabbit striping design on this trunk was badass! Reminded me of Dutch's "Harvey Shaken by Crossbreeding" design from way back
I did the silver leaf 'Bone Shaker' lettering for my friend a few months ago.
This car is without question the meanest looking ride I have ever seen! It looked like something the Nazis would of built if they were hot rodders. It was chopped so much that there's only about six inches of windshield to look out of. The photo wasn't taken from a drastic angle, the car really looked just like this! This beast is no joke! Fucking wicked!
Some nice ghosted in spider webs on this metalflake paint job
Nice VW
