Super Chevy Magazines “2009 Car Of The Year” is none other than Rod’s Vette with a big spread in the February 09 issue of the mag - quote “could this be the greatest Hot Rod ever?”

Check out the February 09 issue of Revolution Magazine with Konstantine’s Billy Lane derived “Foxy Roxy” on the cover and inside. We are also redoing the paint and body on the notorious Billy Lane hub-less  MissTreated” that was featured on the Discovery Channel biker build-off – the one that caught fire! This will be the subject of before and after in some major publications to follow!

We also just finished repainting the famous Billy Lane “Psycho Cadillac” – the very first hub-less bike ever built - and immortalized in Billy’s book “Chop Fiction” and numerous mags.

Dave has started doing private lessons on airbrushing – 21/2 - 3 hours for only a 100.00 a session with no more than 3 students! Done at his shop on Sunday afternoons – this is the best way to learn, no holding back, all secrets revealed! Serious students only please!

Congrats to Rod Saboury – officially the first true street car to run a 6 second quarter mile (on D.O.T tires and through mufflers – the air-conditioning was turned off though!) http://www.superchevy.com/features/sucp_0807w_rod_saboury_63_twin_turbo_corvette/photo_03.html  
 

Congrats to Peter Duff winning Best in Show at the largest collection of Willys ever assembled for Lancaster NY Speedway  17th annual Willys Home Run show and drag this past summer.  
 

Dave recently did the graphics on the original Terry Fox Van restoration, http://www.thestar.com/article/426679  (ironically 25 years ago he also did a clone of the van for the 1983 Movie “The Terry Fox Story”) It toured from coast to coast this summer raising cancer awareness and is now on permanent display in the Marathon of Hope museum in BC.

WE JUST FINISHED THE GRAPHICS AND PAINTING

(in collaboration with Dave Bell) on Rod Saboury's incredible 63 Corvette "world first 6 second street car". Rod who hail's from Maryland is a two time world champion with previous Corvettes but this one is the wildest yet. The www.Lowdownhotrods.com  built chrome moly car features an original 63 split window body that has been stretched and lengthened and features one off Carbon fiber hood and doors. The pump gas twin turbo Mike Moran small block makes over 2400 horespower and is backed by a downshiftable Lenco. It will participate in the Hot Rod Power Tour this coming summer and then go to the strip for Hot Rod TV. You will be able to see Rod's car in Vette, Street Machine, Hot Rod and other magazines shortly. Rod's car will be featured at the Performance World Car Show on March 9,10 and 11.
