People's Champ build..(cont'd)

And the newly relocated filler cap will be a one-off piece created from a Ceriani Steering damper, and a weld in filler cap from Lowbrow Customs.  Hacked up the damper so that I ended up with just the top knob portion that I wanted.  Had to turn down the aluminum Lowbrow filler cap to allow for the damper knob to be pressed in over the outside.  Heated up the damper knob and chilled the filler cap, just before marrying the two together.  A little green loctite and voila; there to stay.





Show Class - People's Champ bike

I am stoked to be a part of the Show Class magazine People's Champ invite.  Check them out at www.showclassmag.com.  But while you're here, check out some of the recent work I have put in on my personal effort.............
Narrowed, pinched, and frisco'd an OG Wassell banana tank, and will be relocating the filler cap to a more suitable position.

!Biltwell headquarters!

A few weekends ago, I headed out to Cali to attend a little bike show.  (more to come on that later)  While I was out west, I made it a point to go to the Biltwell headquarters and check out the vibe.  As expected, the vibe was great and the hospitality second to none!  Thanks for the welcome Bill, Mike, McGoo, and the rest of the gang.  To say "Thanks" for the continued support, I offered up my services to the shop: below is what we came up with.  All freehand lettering, and the top logo is Variegated Gold Leaf.  Turned out pretty dope!  Thanks again fellas....I look forward to a long relationship! 



VANS Promo for BF4



Was asked to paint up a tank for VANS shoes, to be displayed at Born Free 4.  Was really digging the Delft Blue Dutch pottery concept, so I broke out some pearl and blue OneShot, and got to work.  Here's the finished product.
