Before vinyl there was hand lettering and gold leaf. Check out this great video of Dan DeLaney (aka Dan the Sign Man) talking about his method and inspiration before spending 6 days making a ’72 Vega funny car into a work of art.

Mustang Sculptures
To many of us cars are works of art. From the classic lines of a 250 Ferrari to a modern day muscle car such as the Dodge Challenger beauty can be found in most cars. The Ford Mustang is no doubt a work of art to many. It’s a timeless design that captured the imagination of the young and old alike. Now a U.K. based sculptor named Robin Bark has decided to make art from Mustangs.
These sculptures capture the soul and passion of the 1965 fastback Mustang. Many consider it to be one of the all time great car designs.

Film Friday: Burnouts
I’d be willing to bet there is not a person reading this who hasn’t done a burn out or two in their lifetime. It is a great stress reliever. For the second installment of film Friday I thought I’d post a compilation of burn outs from 24/7 videos.
Warning this may be hard to watch for some of our more sensitive fans. Some tires were harmed in the making of this video.

When dyno pulls go wrong
We’ve made it to Friday and I hope your week was a little less hectic then mine. I’m ready for a good Friday, watch a few videos, sit on the deck, look at the river, and enjoy a few drinks for my Friday evening. In the mean time most of us still have work to get through and while I have to man the office things are thankfully a bit slow today. This gives me time to post a few videos I’ve wanted to get posted for a while now.
Just in case you are wondering I have tons of photos left from the Loafer’s show. I just have to get through them and process them. I’d expect more of those early next week. Ok, on to that video. Hit the jump and see what happens when a car on the dyno has a bad day.

Sunday Commentary: Changing things up
General Discussion
by Jason
Sunday is running out but I’ve still got time to throw down a quick recap of the week. You have probably noticed I have started doing some tweaking to the look of the site. I still have plenty more work to do so bear with me and any weirdness that may result. In the meantime what an action packed week here at IG and the show season is just getting started.
Of course the big focus early in the week was the big Loafer’s Car Club car show. I am not anywhere near done with that yet so sit tight and this up coming week I will hit it hard again. However late last week things got pretty busy and I just wasn’t able to process the photos I needed to get articles together. In the mean time if you missed anything from last week hit the jump and let’s do the review..
