Temper Tantrum!




Here's a recent project I worked on for my pal Deron Wright of the Burbank Choppers. This was a gift for his son, and let me tell you, that's one lucky kid.

The body is a standard 60s vintage pedal car with an incredible candy tangerine job by Nick "O" Teen, the blower is sculpted and cast in resin by Lou Z, while Deron handled the design, machining, and fabrication of the steering, suspension, and wheels. I was left to design and execute the lettering in variegated gold and One Shot enamel. I'd call the whole thing a success and a definite pleasure to take part in.

More pictures and comments from the builder can be found here.

Oh, how I love this! I've been doing something smaller scale for my daughter:

Wow...nice paint. I've got the same make/model pedal car that I'm working on to make into a cab:
