New Phoney...

You may have noticed (but probably not) the Phoney Fresh blog topper has changed a little. First off, I found an even hipper van complete with galactic scenery to replace the old one. Secondly, the logo is based on the one from Truckin' magazine in the early 80's, in case you wondered (but probably didn't). That font was a pain in the butt to find too, I tell ya!

The Lost Arts...

Where have all the custom vans gone? There seemed to be no shortage in the 70's and 80's....probably gone to scrap heaps, every one. I suppose man hasn't lost his desire to customize, what with the plethora of, dare I say, "pimped out" rides cruising the streets this day and age. But it just isn't the same. Vinyl wraps, LCD screens and LED light just don't hold a candle to porthole windows, deep shag carpet and wood veneer. And who could forget the paint job? Those amazingly airbrushed fantasy scenes of wizards, cosmic beings, other-worldly creatures, space babes, hobbits, barbarians and wide-stretching galaxies. It's a lost art my friends.

Girls with Auto Parts.....and guns!

From various issues of Hot Rod and Truckin' magazines.

 

Hey, nice gun!

She's packin' six shooters!

I think this chick with a harpoon gun wins....
