Go Fast or Go Home

For as long as I can remember I have always had a love for cars. I'm not a gear head now but I mean who didn't have a matchbox/hotwheels car collection when they were kids??? I just remember the sicker they looked like flames, stripes, tails, exhausts, hood scoop etc...you get the picture. I even remember repainting the cars too just cause I thought I could. My older brother used to get mad because I would go as far as take his cars and either wreck them or paint them over. That's what little brothers are for, taxing big brothers things!!!

The closest I came to actually designing a paint job for a car was when I was at Alphanumeric and it was for team rider Len Higa of import racing fame. You can check out his blog here.Unfortunately I never got to see it come to fruition. When Bluster passed this link to me I was open off it. I definitely need to add this to my library. The video snippet seems to have captured that mystique from 70's racing, think speed racer people. Here are a few grabs I took and check the video out for yourself. The author is Sven Voelker but you can also look a bit futher into the book here.
