Did you do any work on any of those cars?
No I haven't worked for any of those guys. They have a huge rally every year at the Continental Club for all of the Street Rod guys, they are all part of that gig. Lonestar Rod & Custom Round Up
Most of the Street Rod Scene here in Austin revolves around Mercury Charlie and his shop. I recently heard that Jessie James has partnered with him, not sure, but Sandra Bullock owns a restaurant and home here. They always keep a low profile.

Yes I painted Reeper's Tempo, 3 different times...., plus a dragster for him. I'll dig up some pictures and post them tomorrow.

Re: Connection To Drag Racing

I was born into Drag Racing as my Dad started racing long before I was born.

I have driven a few cars, the most exciting being my Dad's Pro Stock car back in the mid 90's. I have also been a crew member, race official, race director, announcer (once), tech official, race reporter, internet race results and may other roles, including drunk spectator!!

At this point i time I am nothing more than a fan. maybe one day I will get back in the seat!!
