random shots of goodness from my travels around the interweb....

a radio show?

Although there is a link here on the page for the radio show that I do, (Friction in the Static) I hardly ever mention it here when I do updates, or upload a new show, which frankly happens with startling regularity. In fact, these days Im doing not one but TWO shows a week. Friction, dedicated to kustom kulture, and all the things associated with that AND friction in the static special edition;Diehards, a podcast home companion.  The second show, which for now, shares the feed, page and, bandwidth with friction concerns itself with all the stuff going on right now with the tv show project.  Eventually, Diehards will get its own page, and site. but for now your podcasting cup runneth over. click HERE to listen to the new show. Episode 4 just went up yesterday. 


New Friction every Tuesday
New Diehards every Thursday

iTunes carries us, so feel free to hit the subscribe button. So we know SOMEONE is listening. hahaha! 

No posts for april...like, at all?!

Holy cow, I looked around this morning and realized that I didnt make ONE blog post for the entire month of april. Not even pin up updates.
Sorry about that.  The tv show thing has been keeping me hopping from on foot to another, AND Ive been spending an inordinate amount of time of FaceBook, and Tweeting, actually.  I think part of the deal is, that its so easy to access these social media sites from my phone (iPhone) that the blog is starting to get treated like a redheaded step child.

Ok, well this coming week Ill work to rectify that. LOTS to post on all manner of stuff. 

Vintage pinup update week of 8-23-10

Eager to please you, these honeys refused to wait till later in the week to be seen. Who am I to say no?

Vintage pinup update week of July 19 2010

Well, between me being gone all day, working down at Small City Cycles with Assid - and the fact that Qwest (my ISP) has found it seemingly TOTALLY impossible to maintain a decent DSL line for more than a 24 hour period at any one time, the pinup update is a day or so late. But, never fear - here they are, fresh from the spank bank........ uh, er, I mean, uh- ARCHIVES, fresh from the archives, here is your weekly bevy of bonerific beauties.

That is it for now, but check back later in the week. Got some more updates planned for ya! 

Ready to race! cool pix from the day....

Came across these cool pics recently, and wanted to share the goodness. Now, tell me again - whats the attraction to rat rods?!

Oh, right.... there isnt any cause rat rods SUCK!

Vintage weekly pinup update July5th 2010

Although it may be a holiday for the rest of the country, never fear - cause we are at our desks, working and slaving away hour after hour, pouring through old hard drives, seeking only the finest and most titillating photos for your consideration and viewing pleasure for this weeks pinup update!
Ok, the truth? Im sitting here, having slept till nearly noon, in sweats. I have a half drunk cup of coffee and Im most likely going back to bed as soon as I can rub the sleep outta my eyes and click on whatever random shit comes up in the "vintagepinupsoldwebite" file to upload as soon as I get done typing this.
Happy Bday America! for a 234 year old, you dont look a day over 150.
Now, onto the chicas.......

Fiberglass ?

Last night we recorded episode 20 of our podcast, - Friction in the static. And Ive been thinking about part of the discussion we had, that dealt with an editorial from Rob Fortier, of Rod and Custom magazine.  
In short, he states that he has come round, (for a variety of reasons) in his thinking about using a fiberglass body for a project car. Previously, he would have recoiled in horror at such a thought. But now, although he stops just short of an outright embrace of the concept, he is seriously considering using just such a body for a new build he wants to do. 
Now, the virtual choir of decent(ers) that is sure to make their vocal presence known not withstanding, I have to say I dont think this is a horrible idea. Certainly using steel is in my book always preferable, but given this day and age who of us can afford to spend the THOUSANDS of dollars for something like this:

Go to Brookville, and be prepared to cut a check for upwards of 10 grand or more. And just forget trying to find an original car. You dont have enough body parts or children to sell to afford something like that.

No. Look - there is a historical precedent already in place to make a traditional argument stick with regards the use of fiberglass. I speak of course of Ed "big daddy" Roth. 

You think half the cars he constructed could have been built (even today) out of steel? I suppose so, but its certainly not practical. Ed realized that to do the kind of outlandish crazy type of cars he wanted to do he needed to work in a medium that would allow him the creative latitude to build say, an Orbitron.

If you ask me, apart from the problems with some companies short cutting the fit and finish of their molds, using fiberglass isnt just "ok" in todays world. Its damn near a necessity.  

End of the day, Id rather see 10 glass (hot rod) cars than one more tuner turd, or donk dickhead roll past the shop. Anyway, enough of that, Im burning perfectly good porn surfing time! Later amigos! 

pinup update, week of June 21

Summer is officially here. June 21st is summer solstice. So balance an egg on your head, face west, and chant something gregorian sounding. THEN, check out the vintage pinup update for the week. ENJOY!

And, dont forget to get out in that garden, and get some work done! 

and dress appropriately! 

What could be better..............

Ask yourself, what could be better than a weekly pinup update. Well, TWO pinup updates, of course - duh! And, here you go! two for tuesday, no your not dreaming, a second pinup update this week - ENJOY!!

The Return of THE shirts..............

Well its been a while, and after careful consideration - (and more than just a little soul searching) I can tell you that yes, the long rumored often hoped for return of the shop shirts is in FACT taking place as you read this.

Admittedly, of late there has been an obvious and glaring absence in the world of me selling my own shit.  If you wanted a shop shirt you had to go to Zombies page and get his "version" of my shirt. Which is all well and good, you get the exact same art work on the back ( the front is different, as zombie puts his logo on the chest not mine ) but for all intents and purposes you get a "Tinys" shirt. Its just that it didn't come from the shop, or me, and you could be confused by having two logos on what is in fact, pretty much a proprietary shirt designed exclusively for me, and the shop.  Well that obvious and glaring absence is about to be over.  After what seems like forever I can tell you that I have been successful in my efforts to cut my self loose from a bunch of mouth breathing, leg hanging, no nothing, jerkoffs, who pretty much did everything they could to destroy the shop (and me along with it).  Indeed, we have successfully shed the sheep fuckers and are moving forward immediately. And although there is SOOO much more I want to tell you, and that you guys need to know about what happened, for now, lets just leave it at that. All those stories Im sure, will come out in time.

IN THE MEAN TIME-

Proofs for the new shirts will arrive at the shop this week, with luck. Once they are approved printing in earnest will begin. Keep an eye here on this spot as your going to be seeing some changes in format, AND content as I begin the long road back to putting the shop (and by extension me) back to where it, and I should have been all along.

For now, although the blog will always exist in some for or another, plans include a full website redesign, and for my return to shows and events with a full blown vendor booth and display set up, taking place in coordination with the ever so popular (hey 2500+ subscribers cant be wrong) radio show, and a certain very cool soon to be Voodoo shop.

So, there you have it.  In short, haters and retards; eat hot death,  AND new shirts are just around the corner! Let the fun resume!

Pinups for the week.....

Here ya go.......... this weeks 70's themed hotties with the bodies!
