Kenta Falkered Built in Sweden Photos: Stefan Boman, Story: Kenta Falkered Everything started when I bought a fork with turkflippers from a friend at the club. It stood for 12 years against  the wall waiting for the right project. Then I came across a frame and wheels that I received in payment of a customer, […]
Photos: Billy, Story: T-Bone What do you get when you mix a Holden Ute, a Pontiac G8, Maloof, and a 2013 Camaro? Well, if you are Bernt Karlsson, you make the HOLDEN8R. Bernt Karlsson, most famously known as the powerhouse metal man at Hot Rods by Boyd, and now at The 401k Club Hot Rod […]
Unveiling “The System” in Carl’s Caddy Limo. Photos/Story: T-Bone, Model: Emily Sherer In the middle of the Restoration Marketplace in the Central Hall of the SEMA Show we were stopped by a very nice mid-’50’s Cadillac Limo.

You’d think Mooneyes has a deal with the big one upstairs. Chico has been fairly lucky with the weather for the Mooneyes X-Mas Party.
