Meet Carl

We don't just do hotrods and customs....This is Carl. We built him from a rusty old east coast short bus, and he is now the proud mascot of Three Twins Ice Cream. Carl sports a custom raised roof, stainless planter boxes, all aluminum diner style interior, and solar cooling system.

FYI...this ice cream is really tasty.

Good Friend and Fellow Hot Rodder Steve Jensen, Godspeed.

The Strange Bird goes to Eagle Field, and breaks a crank.

I took the car to the Eagle Field Drags yesterday for its first trip down the strip.....

I was too busy to get any pics, but my buddy mike got a couple clips....one is the Birds first run, and second, is the unfortunate crank snout breaking last run.

Took it real easy off the start, but then had some fun with it. Very little traction at all....I need more weight in back. The Hemi next to me was a good match until I got too excited and bounced it off the rev limiter forgetting to shift into 3rd. The announcer called it a "lean misfire" hahaha. Good times. The crank snout broke in the second video....overtightend pulley tensioner by a crew member. BUMMER.

Ouch.........

40hp of AWESOME

27 T Modified on a 30 A chassis, banger powered.

My buddy Casey came and helped me bang this thing out in 3 days. He's a ruler. All the body blocks, floors, woodwork etc are by him. I did the rest. Probably the easiest thing I've ever put together, almost no fab work. The column drop and hood latches aren't done in the pics, but you get the idea....

HH4 WORLD PREMIERE Sat. NOV 20th Santa Ana at the Galaxy

1938 Chevy Hotrod Truck

Here's a 38 Chevy we just finished up. It's for a customer in Texas, and we are delivering it to SEMA on tuesday. The customer called me up wanting to buy the 36 Dodge I built about 3 or 4 years ago. I told him it was sold to a guy in Germany, but I could build him a better version. The only catch.....we had 3 months to build it in time for SEMA. It looks very close to the Dodge, but it is better in every way.
