This hot rodded Chevrolet pickup is a 1947 to a pre-54 with the optional quarter windows at the back which provided much better visibility over the older design. After the war GM wanted input from commercial truck users on how to improve their pickup trucks, popular opinion said more room and visibility in the cab and GM delivered. I know this is pre-54 because of the grille. Photographed outside a shop in Victoria BC Canada. For some reason the front window was never counted when a model was a five window or in some coupes with three window's, only the side and back window's seemed to matter.
The yard of this house looks like the scene in most Hoarders episodes where they bring everything out of the lawn to triage it into keep and donate piles, but this Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale coupe still looks pretty well-kept.
They're both parked the wrong way, their turn signals are seldom ever used, and they both get revved unnecessary loudly while driven with spiteful rage at the many traffic calming measures installed on this neighborhood's streets.

two T-Body GM cars
found on the street
Tallac Village South neighborhood
Sacramento, California
These are now about 30 years old.
Do they qualify as classics in anything but the legal sense?

Datsun in the 1970s made the first small truck available with an extended cab. The custom wheels look great on this outstanding specimen.
This car has so many straight lines. It really defines Japanese steel pushing the boundaries of the Malaise Era boxy sandbox. How boxy and straight can you go and still exude sleek modernism? This boxy and straight.
The R30 quickly entered legendary status when it was introduced to modern tuning culture, revealing its full potential as a great handling upscale sports coupe with a high level of refinement.
This particular example is an early 80’s (D)R30 RS Turbo, tastefully stanced with fender flares and appropriate footwear. A Shakotan style externally mounted oil cooler suggests a little something unusual is at play below the hood.
On the detailing front, graphic inserts are employed for the smoked headlights and tail lights and a personalized plate rounds out the car’s intentions. The signature greenhouse trim was added using chrome adhesive vinyl. Red vinyl sticker triangles were painstakingly cut, re-cut, cut again and then cut yet again to cover the black areas outside the fender curve on the SC mudguard pieces. It seemed like a great idea when I first thought of it. And then I had to actually do it. In the end, it took a laser cutter to get it right. I love the effect, but I won’t EVER do that again.
I hope you enjoy!

Flames on this 1932 Ford roadster didn't increase the outside temperature at all but they made for a colourful photo. The hot rod was photographed September 12 at Ron Ford's Hot Rod Show at his Ocean Park Ford dealership near White Rock BC Canada. Ron Ford puts on his show with no entry fee, all money from donations and food sales go to Peace Arch Hospital – Cardiac Rehabilitation. Ford has been putting this show on for over 20 years and it is one the best in BC.

There’s been no love for classic Japanese steel in the Speed Champions line, so it’s up to us to make it happen! This little monster is a Datsun 510. The 510 is one of my all-time favorite vehicles and one that has become a car tuner staple. Light and flexible with such wonderful basic proportions that it looks good in almost any modified configuration.
This old track dog has been converted to shop car duty, random daily use, and handing out the occasional stop light smack-down. It’s unknown what lurks beneath the hood of this beast, but it does have a reputation for embarrassing those who underestimate it. A burly roof rack takes care of anything the shop can throw at it, and a complementary set of garage accessories help round things out.
On the detailing front, I used graphic inserts for the headlights to give some much needed definition there, printed some custom personalized plates and applied some mid-century minimalist track livery to dial in the vibe. I hope you enjoy!

The Renault 5 Maxi Turbo is one of my all-time favorite vehicles and certainly one that cemented in my (then) young brain the idea of cramming a large, powerful motor into a tiny flexible package to create an entirely new kind of wonderfully freakish monster.
With this build I was particularly focused on wanting the rear air intakes to be brick-built and have actual visual depth, and I wanted the rear to be wider than the front which is a key visual trait of this car. That led me to the idea of attempting the build as a 6-wide front and 7-wide rear.
Interplay between the 6-wide and 7-wide sections created room to take advantage of some nice offsets for the rear hatch, both vertical and horizontal, as well as to find nice positions for the tail lamps and the rear venting. As always with SC scale, this is a mere caricature of the glorious original, but the madness of this little beast is evident.
On the detailing front, I used graphic inserts for the fog lights, headlights and tails to help give some definition and pump up the texture just a bit. Giving the car more dimension and scale detail in this way is a technique I’m increasingly happy with.
I hope you enjoy!

My first car was a 1977 GT liftback just like this one, but in the brighter, redder orange. The later mid-80s Supra wheels on this really make it pop.

Volumes have been written about the enigmatic quality of the 911. RWB has put its own spin on the 911 world, and while it may land all across the spectrum of taste, when it’s done well it elevates everything raw and truthful about the legendary 911 platform.
This example is RWB Gotham No. 1. Akira has been tight lipped about this order, but he did acknowledge that this is the first RWB delivery to a very, very wealthy Gotham client and that the order was built around a costumer-supplied early 80’s Targa.
Tastefully stanced and accented with auxiliary hood-mounted lamps for added night time visibility, this beast is prepped for some serious action.
Graphic inserts were employed for the auxiliary lamps and a custom plate helps round out the vibe of this monster hiding in plain sight.
I hope you enjoy!

I wouldn't be surprised if the owner of this El Camino and this modest home enjoys more self-satisfaction than the average maker of a Land Rover payment in a 4000 square foot faux-Tuscan McVilla in the outer east burbs.
This model is loosely based on a vehicle in which I have had some perception-altering experiences, the classic Mumbai Taxi.
Taxi? Check. Madness? Check. Need to get there faster than you thought possible? Check!
A gaping maw of intake, intercooler and turbo piping coupled with a massive rear diffuser and a serious looking dual exhaust suggest this is no ordinary Mumbai Taxi and may be a good sign that you are in fact on your way to a Time Attack Challenge instead of wherever you previously planned. Either way you might be redefining “Crazy Taxi”.
On the detailing front: Custom rock guard taping for the headlights, custom plates, and the requisite car numbering and fleet ID markers ensure unwilling passengers will not receive a DNF for failing to properly identify the vehicle with clearly marked numbers :) On the roof, custom mail package labels, custom FRAGILE tape and a custom fabric roll round things out. Special mention goes out to Jon Elliott for the inventive use of the Friends lipstick as taillights, which I have quoted here :)
I hope you enjoy!
