“Fantasy Friday”

Almost a year ago we met up with Brett MacAdam BRETT MACADAM SACRAMENTO to shoot our 3 complete builds(Steve Heinzle 52Rustz and Black N Bleu )for the year in 2025. Not only was it a dream come true to see all of this work together driving the streets and being the machines we deemed them to be then add in Brett adding his magic touch capturing the soul of these trucks in frame…pure FANTASY 😎

This year will be a little different but needless to say this day will always be one of the favorite experiences of my life!

“Fueled Up”

Keeping the momentum up Neto took another step towards the finish line when Kyle Ashurst completed the tank portion of the fuel system. With the custom CB Chassis Products fuel tank designed to use an Aeromotive Fuel Systems in-tank pump we got all the parts together to create a clean, reliable and serviceable system that will perform beyond the driver’s expectations.

Next update will include some special pieces from Bad Oman Classics so stay tuned for that. 😎

“Thirsty Thursday”

A few months ago Bad Oman Classics became a part of this cool project we were doing for Neto . After a couple of really production conversations and design sessions we told JP to “Go for it” and man has he knocked it out of the park!!! I am so excited to top this engine bay off with these pieces…coloring is still a work in progress and so hard to decide since the parts look incredible in their raw conditions but we don’t need to rush that choice.

All I know is in the couple of weeks this dream will become reality and I cannot wait to see it all together!!

“Tuesday Breakthrough”

I agreed to take this LS Swap RUN STALL project on at SLO Down this year to help get a long time project finally on the road…After more than a month of troubleshooting, wire chasing, fuel systems, ignition systems, programming, tuning, tech help and frustration this LS Swap FINALLY RUNS AND IDLES! Still a million things to complete and get fully installed but hearing this idle made my day.

“Monday Motivation”

“Ruby” a 1965 C10/30 Custom Conversion with a 454 700r4 Air Suspension Original Patina Paint 22” Steel Wheels Reclaimed Wood Bed Custom Bench Seat and Restored Interior is one of our most complete and successful builds. Now spending its time in on Ohio with its owner Shawn Freels each and every time I see pictures of this truck it reminds me of how it felt to finish. Accomplishing the goal and making something really cool work and drive and be dependable is the best feeling as a builder and Ruby gave that to us.

We have a couple projects nearing the finish line so hopefully we will be having this feeling a lot soon!
