The Cheesegrater


found this pic of my Olds powered '31 coupe, circa '94? Robert Williams used to call it the cheesegrater because of all the louvers in the roof. This is the car I regret selling the most, but I had my reasons. pic by Rick Amado

Matt Noble





I stopped by my friend Matt's shop on the way back from Ventura Steel. He just got back from Santa Maria, and I hadn't seen his '55 merc since he had the roof painted last week. If you havent seen his stuff yet, check him out at noblefab.com

Bill Cosby vs. Dolemite


who wins?

$250


I bought this '34 Tudor, sight unseen off of Craigslist for $250. The owner was only asking $125, but I didn't want him to sell it to anyone else and I had to send him a moneyorder.....so I doubled his money! Thanks to my friend Rob in Detroit for picking it up for me, been sitting in his garage for a while, I guess I need to get it out here.....

Arlen Ness



it's easy to lump Arlen Ness in with the OCC, billet bullshit builders of the world, at least for the average cable watching member of modern America. He's more than just a corporate biker though. He really innovated and inspired lots of other builders with his early works. His Sportster diggers, and Knuckle choppers were cutting edge for the time, but had soul, and I remember trying to find pics of his bikes when I first got into choppers, this was before internet(fuck I guess I'm old huh?) I found this pic of Arlen from the mid 60's on his Knuck, thought it was pretty neat, also a cool ironhead chop with a weber intake.....

Home garage......





I have too many projects on my plate, my wife's Triumph T100, and my '51 BSA ZB34 500 thumper. These are sitting in the garage waiting for some love, I just made a custom tank for the triumph, and found the old sporty front end at the last chopperfest. Theres also a Freddy Hernandez single downloop frame and narrow wishbone springer on the other side of the garage waiting for a drivetrain......
