Hand-lettered signs, helmets, parts, motorcycles, and all sorts of things I'm interested in.

Antorcha De Fuego!

Here is a welder's helmet that I lettered and pinstriped. 




This Is How The Old Chevrolet Neon Clock Turned Out.








Old Chevrolet Dealership Clock.








This was another clock face I worked on. It needed some work as it was pretty rough, and the customer wanted some of the lettering changed.

B.S.A. and Triumph Gas Cans.





These vintage gas cans are now displayed sitting in a pair of cool garages alongside some really nice old British bikes. I lettered them using One-Shot.

Sign for Haiti Relief.


This was a sign I did for my church's Haiti relief fund.  We were accepting donations of rice for an orphanage supported by our congregation.

And this is how the Orange Crush clock turned out.



Old Orange Crush Clock


This job was very challenging to do, and required a bit of thought.  The old paint on these clock faces is often dry and powdery and rubs off very easily.  I couldn't use any adhesives, no matter how mild, to mask off the images. Thank God, it turned out well.

1976 Honda CB400/4 Super Sport


This rough looking bike was a roadside find that was beyond restoration(?). It's parts are now in many hands throughout the NorthWest.

BSA A65 finished!


Brother Tom has been working feverishly throughout the months to get this ol' britsickle up and running.  He had some help from various sources, including your's truly! I did a fair bit of paint work on this bike, including the side covers (see earlier post) as well as the headlight brackets, etc. Beautiful bike! And now it runs!

Coca-Cola Vendo 44 pop machine.






This was one of several Vendo 44 Coca-Cola vending machines I have refinished over the past few years. This one was filled, sanded smooth, repainted, and lettered. This is one of my favourite machines.

Clinic direction sign.


For this one I used 1-Shot, hand lettered and airbrushed.

More From Eagle Motorplex, Ashcroft.
















Drag Racing in Ashcroft!
















This past weekend my brother and I checked out the CMDRA motorcycle drag races at Eagle Motorplex in Ashcroft, B.C. It was a cool mix of bikes and cars.

BSA A65 Side Covers


This was from a pair of BSA A65 side covers I did in black lacquer and 1-Shot white pinstripes.

What's Better Than An Old B.S.A.? Two Old B.S.A.'s!






Brother Tom swung by the shop on his way up north with this pair of pre-unit B.S.A singles. There is nothing cooler that old bikes in your pickup truck!

The After Shots.






Here is the finished project. Again, this one was hard to hand back. It would've fit nicely in the garage.

The Before Pictures.



This is a Coke swamp cooler I did a couple of years ago. As you can see it was rough. I had already started sanding and filling in low spots.

Anderson Printing signage.



Here are two signs I did for Anderson Printing a while back. These were painted directly on the door and the wall. Thanks, Norm!

The Langley Cruise In.











These pictures were taken today at the annual Langley Cruise In car show. Over a thousand cars and tens of thousands of spectators were present. I did none of the beautiful paintjobs in these pictures.
