Totally Custom 1974 V-DuB

This Car is amazing I was lucky enough to be able to be around to help with the build. The blog post it going to run along with the 1967 micro bus. I'm going to add to the bus as we do it. The car will be an easer run, Being that it's finished.
The car was built from the ground up From my friend and boss, Mark Pinkstaff. It was several years in the making. Custom made top, Custom parts, Hand made. The list goes on. VDUB magazine just did a write up in the coming up issue. This car is one of the hottest on the road today! Here's some more photos.
08 Will be a good year for this one at the shows!


The top is a custom one piece. Made out of fiberglass. The top raises from the back, all power. It can be easily removed for some fun in the sun. The hood scoop is fresh air intake, Which works really well. It's directed to both the driver and passenger side. For a little breeze on these hot Florida days.Here's a shot a little naked, It was being assembled that day.

1- Scott LE Logger goggles


Just imagine, blood pumping through your veins, the smell of pines and two stroke burning. Your hands vibrating as they grip mercilessly, and the over-revs of your two cycle screaming louder than a banshee on his death bed. With your Scott Logger LE (limited edition) Hi-Voltage goggles adorned you will be well protected against all the trails can dish out! They are quite resilient and have the next generation of high-tech foams available for off-road motorcycle goggles, the No Sweat foam series has a fleece like material that wicks your sweat around and away from the inside of the goggles. With their flashy chrome lens, red-plaid silicone lined strap, with a very hip leather style Scott label and wood grained frames you will be ready to chop, er, I mean, roost your way to the top!

Its Christmas time...

With the cool weather, decorations, lights and Christmas trees on the roadside; it is quite a wonderful time of year. The air is crisp and mostly clear. Smiles are about, in a majority anyways. Gadgets, toys and goodies of all sorts are abundant. So, what did you miss out on this year...? Better yet, what did you plunder? So let the lists begin!

The rabbit hole

Once, to me this feeling came. The chemicals making their way through the blood stream. She walked in the door. So tall, unbelievably tall, freakish Even. The glasses that sat on her face, were as large as John Deer tractors. Each lens, One tractor.


As I sat crouched in the corner. Looking up at her, gave the illusion that she was a liquid, alive. Driving upstream like a raging rapid but going no where. Recycled like an office desk waterfall. It was all coming back to me………………Mushrooms.

Foreclosure Of A Dream

Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria's high
More borrowed money, more borrowed time
Backed in a corner, caught up in the race
Means to an end ended in disgrace
Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase

Foreclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
Personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dream

Barren land that once filled a need
Are worthless now, dead without a dead
Slipping away from an iron grip
Nature's scales are forced to tip
The heartland cries, loss of all pride
To leave ain't believing, so try and be tried
Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide

Now with new hope some will be proud
This is no hoax, no one pushed out
Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer
Break new ground of a new frontier
New ideas will surely get by
No deed, or dividend. Some may ask "Why?"
You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky

(seemed fitting- Megadeath)

End Of Times

I get a little unnerved when I think about it. At least on the scale of the Universe, Just our solar system for that matter. We are just a speck in the mix of it all. Everyone wants to say God will be the answer. Really?
There are so many unanswered questions, pertaining to the bible. That’s a whole different rant all together. Where does it all go from here? Are we doomed? Only to start up again a few million years down the road. On a different planet perhaps. On the same evolutionary scale, as the one we live now..


Can we colonize other worlds to save the one were on now? We must colonize space. In order to keep our civilization moving forward. All the technology in the world. And all the degrees will mean nothing if you don’t have a planet to live on. Can we stop our aggressive nature towards one another? Put down our differences. So we can put our minds together, to become one world for which we stand, one HUMAN race. Before the end of times.

Xmas letters to friends in prison

My friend Danny is in prison, with a 30 year sentence. 15 of which he’s already done. Danny boy, Danny boy. Is my Irish friend with a temper. You see Danny wouldn’t let anyone give him any shit. Why? I don’t know. He spent plenty of his youth in and out of detention centers. His family didn’t care to much about him. They felt he was just a hassle, and in some ways he was.


So he kind of became an extension of my dysfunctional family. I Hope You Know That This Will Go Down On Your Permanent Record. Is true. You see all the crimes Danny was racking up over his juvenile year’s, mostly between 16 and 24 were just adding up. Until one day through the hot, humid air, early in the morning hours of any given weekend.


We were all hanging out on a corner with are car radios on. When an on coming car swerved around us and threw a bottle at Danny’s truck. A chase ensued , with Danny recklessly weaving the big 1984 Chevy suburban into submission. Down narrow streets, through residential neighborhoods. Passing intersections at breakneck speeds. Running red lights, hurling expletives. Another intersection approaching, a red light! The lead car swerves around a small car, AT THE LIGHT! It went around the stopped car so fast, was it really there?


Danny knew it was, when his two ton Chevy smashed the rear end of the car, so hard it met the windshield. Practically cutting through the car and its occupants. For a bottle, pride, fucking stupidity. Multiple people have heart aches, for what? I don’t know, I’ll never know, He’s still my friend and I just sent him a Xmas letter in prison.
