me wandering around

this will be my next van- love this freaking brown shit stain

this guy drove passed me as my family explored the zoo- i don't go to zoos- so i wonder around taking pictures of vans and cars and going through free piles- for books and dead guy shirts

this is van street -apparently

a hidden artistically painted little bay

i don't usually like these kinds of fancy pantsy rods- but this thing has the sweetest flat head V-8- not to mention the hidden rumble seat

and i hate chopped top rides

but look how mint that engine is- with air cooled oil filter housing/ wild headers -every thing out in the open and perfect

my 51' ford club coupe had the exact engine- man i wish i still had that car- i really fucked up

toy cars and vans

this wooden cut out car is just wonderful- i found it in Dashiel's train box- just to love it- great color-great worn patina

toy trail van

little red truck or trailer puller

clean-coupe lines- great cut out bumpers

double cab cutie

this fine lady is parked over by Jake's old crappy middle school- Meany- now gone-
i love the Howl bumper sticker- i've seen the best vans of my grandpa's generation run wild into empty fields parking lots alley ways covered with tarps and used as scrap-

i like the off color replacement door- it's like a car bikini

parked beside the white artichokes glistening with rain water- WCW

very sexy profile- makes me wanna get laid while listening to Deja vous-

Almost cut my hair- is just the best song on the whole LP if you like the stinky hippie music forty years old and relentlessly played like propaganda-

putting on a show

the show has been hung and is now awaiting paparazzi- super models, bums, kids and queens

you can see the work best from outside- you should drink some coffee and stand in the street- that's where i'll be

don't know if i like this sunshiny kinda thing going on- i think i usually show in the winter when the sun is a dead blob and barely crawls over the grass

see you all Wednesday from 6:00 to 6:15 for a very quick reception

thank you Boatgirl (Kelly) for the excellent assistance, guidance and supplies-

and of coarse thank you very much Dani-

GTX

the gtx old people never called so i guess the car isn't for sale- but uncle Mutante sent these
craig's listed race car photos of a sweet gtx race car- with a horrible paint/decal job

i love the balanced hood on the cab and the fine layer of dust- a race car should never be dusty

it should be blown up-on fire or crashed into a pillar, smokin' it's tires - flipped in a field with wheels slowly spinning- cop cars- helicopters and fire trucks- the 1970's killed the big three !

Datsun 1600

when i first moved to Seattle- i got a job house painting with Gino Holmes, who in a full body cast, lived in a Datsun 1500 station wagon- i don't know how- he was a huge farm boy from Kansas- six and half feet tall, 250 lbs easy- he lived behind this bar on Queen Anne hill- drank, smoked and played the pony's

did i mention the fact that he some how lived in a Datsun 1500 station wagon- this is the tiny truck version on Gino's house-

this rig is fairly well preserved-

there used to be a joke that ended with the line

you want it -datsoon- a car joke, more than likely goofing on Japanese auto's, i don't know of any car jokes do you ?

wait, i think there's a shit load of Volkswagen jokes floating around-

funny cars and youth

when i was a kid i loved drawing funny cars and dragsters-

but hated them in toy form- hated most cars that were not stock-couldn't stand the giant engines and huge headers and pipes- the very reason Hot Wheels blew Matchbox out of the water in the toy car market

funny kid- he lives inside of me-still- because i love stock original cars-

toys and out on the streets
