Here’s more from our Artist of the Week, Jason “Bat Daddy” Huertas. We mentioned the influence that his bat fetish has had on his work, which you can clearly see in “Free Tailed,” the artwork above. Want more? Come back tomorrow!
This year’s Cruz-In Downtown car show is coming up soon-August 7th, to be exact. It’s one of the highest-profile events of the summer, with a huge chunk of Winnipeg’s downtown closed off for it. There’s lots to do and see, from live bands to the infamous burnout competition. To find out more, contact John or [...]
We all know the (partially undeserved) reputation that the tuner community has for “quality,” what with the number of spray-bombed black hoods and plastic spinnah’ hubcaps out there. What I’d like to know is, what will their ‘scene look like if the rat rod influence takes hold? One guy couldn’t wait to find out: Thanks [...]
There’s a lot of people who are obsessed with wood. Most of them become lumberjacks or furniture makers. However, Steve & Jeannete of Kingman Arizona take their extreme love of dead trees in a different direction: Steve and Jeannette are the proud owners of several woody wagons from the late ’30s through the ’40s. It’s [...]
Despite what the Honda-driving, slurpee-sucking loudmouth kid at 7-11 says about his CR-V, there’s only one caped crusader who can pick up chicks with just his car-and that’s Batman. At least that’s what he modestly calls himself-with the ability to pick up retro go-go hotties like this, BatLegend is closer to the truth! Want to [...]
We’re going with a “Breakfast Club” inspired theme this year, hence the “Basket Cases” title of this chapter. If you’d like to see more, check out our Facebook group where we’ve got ten pages of this chapter displayed in our gallery. What’s even cooler is that many of the people on these pages are members [...]
This is an engine we’ve seen a lot of, but haven’s seen much information on: This is the Ford Thunderbird Special V8, as seen in several Ford Not-Thunderbirds around town. I’m assuming it was an available option, although the internet won’t confirm or deny anything for me. If you know about this motor, please help [...]
We spotted this 1970 Boss 302 Mustang at last year’s Cruze-In Downtown show in Winnipeg. It was just chillin’. You know, like a boss:
This stunner of a chevy truck has been cruising the mean streets of Winnipeg for the last couple of years. The lines look so perfect, it makes you wonder why The General didn’t launch it themselves back in the day-or why the SSR didn’t keep rolling off assembly lines in the early part of this [...]
Station wagons have finally made the journey from being a guilty pleasure that most car guys enjoyed secretly, to being a hot trend amongst hot rodders and muscle car guys. Not only do the older ones feature rear-wheel-drive and room for a V8, but the back leaves enough space for damn near anything. I’m predicting/hoping [...]
