hello boys! long over due check in. Been pretty hectic lately. This past weekend there was a Rockabilly festival here in town, which was obviously calling my name. Beautiful cars, beautiful men with great hair...how could I not?! Anyways, here's a couple of the cars that were around. I was...

you pout and throw a bit of a fit.... woke up to a text this morning from my friend back in Oregon...turns out the lady I was supposed to be buying the '67 Galaxie off of is getting a divorce and her soon to be ex has sold the car. Innitially the two of them were going to hang onto it until I...

Hello fellas! Well, tonight I'm off to Australia (after a short 20+ hours travel time). So! I should be on here occasionally with updates of the Comet and to look at cat photos, but just in case: Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas/Whatever-you-celebrate and a Happy New Year to everyone as well...

A couple days ago a client gave me some home made barbecue sauce as a tip. Then yesterday, in my quest for giant freezies, I found a few big racks of ribs, some briskets and other deliciousness. So today I went out and bought a smoker. I wanted ribs damnit. Normally I've used charcoal or...

A pair of these (including shipping) would run me about $260....well, plus whatever customs might charge. which is about half of every other option I've found...including buying locally. Are these too good to be true?! Or should I bite the bullet and order a pair? I've decided that with road...

Just got news a good friend of mine's brother was diagnosed yesterday with stage 3 colon cancer. He's a fighter, and is keeping positive, (cliche, I know) but good vibes would be appreciated. He's young, keeps pretty fit. Starts chemo soon, and we're all keeping positive. Anyways, good...

So last night/this morning around 2 am I start thinking (for some reason unbeknownst to me) about the keys for the car. I only have one. It works in the ignition. So I get changed, throw on some shoes and go out to the back garage...it fits in the doors (and from reading what I could find on...

AKA Route 66. Sometime next year in the Comet. Drive across Canada and then down to Chicago and west from there, stopping along the way to visit shops, maybe catch some shows etc etc. Planning everything out right now, getting hold of tattoo shops along the route etc...but it's gonna...

sooooo. Denied entry into the states just a couple hours ago. They didn't believe me that I had no intention of working. I was lead to the secondary customs office in cuffs, interrogated for two and a half hours, fingerprinted and mug shot. So now I get to fly back to Calgary, and for the...

Hey guys, I've got a bit of a blog going, just background info for now, but as of next week it should be up to date to go along with travels and adventures in tattooing.... follow along if you'd like. Car progress will probably be up there eventually...once, you know....we make progress. Tattoo...

I haven't even driven the Comet yet and I'm considering buying another car...I'm assuming this is normal? It's a 1967 Galaxie 500 with a 351 engine with 10,000 miles (automatic transmission) dual exhaust possibly needs a rebuild on the carb (or a new one) and a new valve gasket. The person...

Whoa. Just got back in after one helluva walk. I was taking the pup out for an evening stroll...the heat finally broke and it's now cool enough to function. Anyways...we were crossing the street to get back to my place and this car turns the corner going way too fast, not looking etc etc. I...

I've been doing some searching on the internet for parts etc for the car...and alot of it I've found on ebay...BUT. Most sellers wont ship to Canada. Soooo, when the time comes (next few months hopefully, I have a mini tattoo tour coming up in a few weeks that goes until the end of September)...

While I'm waiting on parts I want to clear/seal the top of the Comet, since I'll be keeping it white on top to show the patina....this should work...right? give it a quick clean/scuff and then this over top? The matte finish is appealing.... http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=164 Or if...

"No, Harley, you are not allowed to duct tape my car"

Ok, so I'm thinking on the Comet I'll eventually go with 2 or 3 inch blocks, taking out a leaf from each side in the back and then cutting up to a coil's length on the springs up front (or replacing them all together). I think with the skirts and lower profile tires it'll give me the low look...

C'mon fellas...admit it...we all have a soft spot for dogs/cats/fish whatever. And when I'm on the road I've been known to make a phone call to my pup once or twice... ahem. so! Show me your critters! This is Dex, a soft coated Wheaton Terrier. He's 5, had him since he was 8 weeks old. Best...

I was over in Australia working in a town called Ballarat, just north of Melbourne and caught this car show. Boy do them Aussies like their American cars. And it was great to see beautiful old cars just driving around town as people's daily drivers. Not just rods...beautiful cars from the 20s...

Here she is. She's already been named "Mrs Valdez" after Harley's band's song of the same name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3YZroMscbQ) Anyways, here's the basics. For now, I want to keep the engine stock. Straight 6. 3 on the tree transmission, that sort of deal. Key for now is to get...

Hello all, just thought I'd pop by and introduce myself. The name's Randi, (yep) and I'm a tattooer originally from Canada. I have, however, been living out of a suitcase for the last 2.5 years travelling around the globe tattooing. Anyways. Always had a love for rods....rats in...
