Iron Invasion podcast interview with Car-N-Art



I'll keep it short because I can be long winded at times… I had a chance to sit down and do a rare interview with Tiny, from Tiny's Kustoms, Driven Kustom Culture and Friction in the Static radio show about the Iron Invasion. I spent some time reminiscing about the Hunnert Car Pile-up and explain what you can expect above and beyond that experience with the Iron Invasion. I loved being able to chat with an audience that already understands what to expect from most shows so I didn't have to explain all the normal parts to expect at these types of shows. It's all in my own words, no scripts, not over produced just all the good nitty-gritty on the show.

The interview begins about 23 minutes into the show, but you should definitely listen to the whole show and the segment on E-15


If you are on the fence of going, I hope you'll listen and hear the whole idea behind Iron Invasion and why this show will be a fun and unique experience vs what you may already know about Car/Kustom/Hot Rod/ Culture events.

It's episode #136

Thanks again, Tiny for the opportunity!

Hunnert Car Heads-Up! Water Slide Decal Design

The Chrome Czars put on my favorite charity Mid West show, Hunnert Car Pile-up, hands down to date. So I'm thinking that the Hunnert Car Heads-up should also be very impressive! The Chrome Czars put word out that they were looking for a design for the water slide decals for participants who will be drag racing. Here's mine:

The prize pack alone pushed me to do lend a hand!
I wanted to use every bit of real estate on a square so I flipped it on end to make the most of it. I modeled the '38 Chevy Coupe loosely after "Outta Control" from Iowa with the same thought for wheels and tires.

I got to thinking about the tag line and as much as I wanted to put something like
"I blew your doors off" or "kickin' ass & shedin' shame" I think it's safe to say that when you race heads up there is a clear distinction between who won and lost. So I wanted to concentrate on not winning or loosing, but the thrill of the race. I think about what my heart must sound like before racing if I had a stethoscope and it would probably sound like a thumping of a husky Cam.
