The Office

Just finished rearranging things around the W.C.Z headquarters and i am pretty pleased with the outcome.
Sometimes it gets a little stressful around here, so i moved there chairs around so i can sit and smoke my cigars and ponder what the fuck that little horse thing is supposed to be.

Tomorrow!!

Heaven or Hell

I think this is what skateboarding in heaven looks like. You can still skate but they make it all safe and lame.

Ideas

These guys had the right ideas.

Paint

Well i laid three coats of paint during the week and i'll assemble all the panels and dust on two more.
The colour is white with a tint of green. You can just see it in the photo, but in person i don't think you'd ever know unless i told you. The paint actually looks a pale green in the tin but when painted comes out virtually white.
I'm not worried because i was actually toying with the idea of painting it white anyways. I've seen a few in that colour and like the simple look.
I'll probably end up doing some green panels on the roof and sides but not until it's on the road i think. Need to get stuck into the mechanicals.
Oh sorry about the shit photo too.

We Are One Thirty Eight

Jay's a ruler, thats why he started his own skateboard company called 138 not so long ago.
If your a skater come down to this sweet shin dig at 1p.m. sharp before the cops break it up.

Thunderball

Had a V12 Merlin engine out of a P52 Mustang fighter plane, and would have had a genuine 2000hp but with low revs and bad gearing it was all noise and no go.
The engine was so big the driver sat almost where the rear bench seat would have been.
Does anyone know anymore about it? There doesn't seem to be much info around.

Scenester Guide 101

Here at W.C.Z's we like to bring you the latest trends of whats going on in the car show world. Who knows were the whole custom car craze will take us next, (i personally think its going to revolve around fake body parts) but its up to you the car enthusiast to decide, not us. We just report it in a fair and balanced way. Remember the scene is what YOU make it.

Best Use Of Fake Corpse a.k.a Stranger Danger
When i saw this first sweet ride it was hard to get a photo of it. I literally had to fight my way through a crowd of people to catch a glimpse of the radness you see before you. And what radness it was. I'm starting to think theres a formula to building a sweet custom car. Moon roof -check, seats from a Hyundai - check rotting corpse - that's a fucking triple check home boy. Best Coffin a.k.a The Grim Sleeper
For a car to get two trend mentions from the one show, the owner just has to know his shit. I mean he must have just been in the zone when building this sweet ride. Please excuse the poor photo, like i said before, there was just too many people crowding this car to get a good shot.

Best Use Of Mannequin a.k.a All My Friends Are Dead
When i stumbled upon this sweet dummy display i was almost lost for words. Sorta like when you meet a super hot chick on a blind date and your friends leave you two alone in the back seat to get to know each other, and the only thing going through your head is "fucking say something cool you dick" but you just think up lame shit cause the pressures on, and in the end you just sit there in silence with your sweet beard and poncho thinking "Fuck man this is starting to get awkward."
Yeah what???? Oh nah, yeah, that's never happened to me either. Like as if I'd wear a poncho!
Best Use of Fake Hands a.k.a Ten Finger Discount
Sometimes one hand isn't enough to get the judges attention, but i must say i was so bowled over by the complete radness of this display i was doing fist pumps in the air in appreciation. Not any old fist pump mind you, but the kind of fist pump that makes you raise your right knee at the same time and scrunch your face up real tight, making sure you've made a full mental picture of the sweet car in your head before letting the fist pump go, only to open your eyes to realise no mental picture will ever do this display justice. Sorta bitter sweet like.
Best Spider Web Grille a.k.a Spidey Bright
This grille showed a high level of craftsmanship and good use of concrete reinforcing steel, along with good welds and bright chrome..........What?
Oh and that's Oscar in the bottom corner. He don't like me much after i let his helium balloon go. Angry kids are so cute.

Primer To Pristine

Only took a few pics, and these are by no means the best in attendance, i was on a mission to bring you the worst of the worst. More on that later. Everything but the big stereo made this XP a cool ride.


My uncle had a series of GT Falcon's over the years, but i only remember the XB GT coupe. He was a Naval veteran who served in Korea and Vietnam and loved getting boozed with my dad.

I remember when i was about 9 asking my drunkin' uncle if it would be better if i drive the car home from football training as he could hardly stand. I was dead serious to, he was that drunk! In those days drink driving was the expected norm.

He sold the car when he retired years later in a trade in on a another V8 Falcon but his time a shitty EB. Must have sounded like a good idea at the time. He said he hated to see the GT go but he needed 2 more doors.

In a twist of fate the GT burnt to the ground 2 weeks after he sold it when a fuel line split. He was happy that if he couldn't own it then no one should own it.

I think that's why i don't mind Falcon Coupes. I could drive this as a daily driver easy.


Hudsons rule.
