Sneak preview

Lucky 8 Pinstriping already finished one helmet.

Bubble top, cont'd

Following up on last mondays Bubble Top post, here some picture of the Predicta from the bubble top king Darryl Starbird. Totally dig the upholstery, tv and fully functioning tiller steering as well. Pictures taken at his National Rod & Custom Car Hall Of Fame Museum in Afton Oklahoma. We also got to see him working on another custom car in his garage a few yards from the hall of fame; he's still at it!

Flaked Eight

Altough hard to see on this pic, but check out this Gold Flake Straight Eight in our buddy Skip's '48 Buick, firewall, wheels and dash are also covered in heavy gold flake...we like a lot !

Bed Wet

Refinished the bed of the El Camino, looks like new again!

Bubble Top

A new batch of NOS Bubble Visors is on the way ! Blue, Yellow, Green, Crystal-Clear, you name it ! Keep an eye out, we'll post 'm up for sale the minute they arrive.

Just a Monday cheer up

pinstriped megaflake helmets

Last night we dropped off a couple of new Biltwell metalflake helmets at Chris'. He'll lay out some nice pinstriping to further embellish these gems. Check out his blog here: Lucky 8 Pinstriping
We're super stoked to see the results and you know we'll post them on here as soon as they're finished. They will be for sale if you ask us nicely...

Rockin' Jalopy's Motorama

Only two months to go, time to really get crackin' with our projects again.
See you there!

Three legends

We found these three parked side by side in a corner of Wally Parks' NHRA Motorsports Museum. The whole museum is actually filled to the brim with coolness.
Below are the same three in pics from days gone by.

Sideburn

Sideburn has nothing to do with the facial hair abundantly present on one, and remarkably absent on another, of the toptattoodesignarea. It is however something worth checking out: Sideburn Magazine

Party time, excellent!

Sorry for the lack of updates from the flake front, but we had a very busy weekend featuring an awesome party. Tomorrow we should be back to reality, possibly...

O yeah it's weekend

The Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman stopped by the shop yesterday. He shot some cool pictures, check 'em out on the Church Of Choppers blog here. Here's one of our pictures of his old bike from a few years ago and one from his most recent adventure. Thanks for the visit and the cool photo's FD, nice to see you again! Peace 'n Grease !

Atmosphere

While re-routing some electricity wiring for the new spray-booth we made one cut too many this evening. Most lights went down in the toptattoodesignarea garage making instant atmosphere for some nice pics. The Jawa Speedway bike still looks good from any angle, and while this late 60's bike remains untouched until now, the Weslake Speedwayer is ready and waiting for final paint, still struggling on the perfect color combination though...keep checking back !

Dregla!
