MOTORHEAD NEWSLETTER - OCTOBER 2002
Greeting Fellow Motorheads,
Welcome to the first issue of the Detroit Iron Motorhead Newsletter. Hope you like the format. Rather than a drab, text-only e-mail, I thought this would be much more interesting.
Before we get into what new, there is something that I want to tell you. You have my word that I will keep these as brief as possible and I do not, and will not sell or pass on my e-mail list to anyone. That way you wont get bombarded with stuff from other webmasters from being on my list. Also, you will only hear from me concerning what new on the Detroit Iron Motorhead Shop site. In other words, I wont pester you with offers for phone service, credit cards, or business opportunities.
So, let roll! Heres the latest!
"ENGINEERING-STYLE" DIAZO BLUEPRINTS:
I can be a real pack-rat. Ive got car magazine that I bought back in the late 60s that Ive been carting around for decades - YIKES! I also hang on to other car stuff as well. I had forgotten about the diazo blueprints I had offered back in the late 80s from a series of engineering-style illustrations Id done for Super Stock & Drag Illustrated, and Popular Hot Rodding. Well, I found them, THEYRE BACK, and available again.
These are actual diazo blueprints. Remember those from your high school drafting class? Oops, did I just date myself? Theyre BIG, measuring 24 x 36 and I have 3 different blueprints: the Reher & Morrison 1987 Pro Stock Beretta, the Thundercraft 1957 Chevy, and Norm Washingtons 1988 Top sportsman Firebird.
What would drag racing be without the Chrysler HEMI? These beautiful quilts are hand-made in America by Janice Jackson, wife of nostalgia drag racing video master, Jamie Jackson. And there are FOUR unique HEMI illustrations from which to choose from.
Here are the details...
Each flag quilt is custom hand-made
Has batting in between the front and back fabric
Has hanging loops along the top edge.
Measures 34 x 24
Price: Just $75, plus $6 for S&H for the one flag, and $8 for 2 flags.
These are handmade to order and worth every penny. Click HERE for more info.
SLINGSHOT!!!
A NEW PRINT IS IN THE WORKS... FINALLY:
Ive been so busy this year working on websites (I have 5 of them), that Ive had little time to create new images. In looking around the internet, Ive noticed that there is a new interest in front engine dragsters. Yea man, the old rail-jobs and slingshots are coming back. Big Daddy changed the technology of Top Fuel dragsters over 30 years ago, but new technology has made front-motored dragsters far, far safer than they were back in the olden days.
SLINGSHOT!!! captures the in-your-face look of a HEMI powered dragster, coming STRAIGHT AT YOU!
There are 7 basic steps to creating one of my renderings and Ill be covering my progress on the Detroit Iron Motorhead Shop site. Right now, Im at the beginning stage, the pencil drawing (shown above). Six more steps to come... Click HERE to check out Step 1.
WHAT IM CURRENTLY WORKING ON:
Aside from the above mentioned new print Im working on, I do a monthly column for Vette Magazine titled, The Illustrated Corvette Series and another series piece for Kit Car magazine titled, Kit Car Profile.
The Corvette feature is the chronological history of the Corvette, covering every production Corvette, as well as, important prototypes, concept cars, show cars, engineering studies, and race cars. The Kit Car feature tells the background story behind some of the most popular replicars in the hobby. Parchment paper prints are available of all of the illustrations in both series.
