The Hunter's Lair
Last year Chris and I started working together on documenting the progression of his father's Model A which started with a proper chop. It was the beginning of a father and son story which Chris will continue to tell through these builds. Chris is a man of many talents and to fully comprehend his scope of work and what influences it, you'll have to take a walk around his workshop to get the big picture. He's been working on it meticulously since the last time I was documenting the chop last year and to finally see the finished space had me shooting every crevice of it as many areas piqued my interests. This workspace is not just to display all of his vintage collection of automotive pieces and hand painted banners he designed himself, but every tool needed to chop and rebuild on a few cars at a time, was at the mechanic's disposal.
Half speed shop, half ray gun and robot workshop would be the best way to describe Chris's workspace. That is why very piece in his workshop is carefully curated to serve a purpose in this grand scheme. Through his sign painting experience he's designed and distressed vintage race inspired banners for clients. But an artist's work is different when they're crafting for themselves and the signs and banners Chris made for the workshop were spot on. Of course a speed shop wouldn't be complete without a guard dog - enter the Fonz.
With the roof finally welded and sanded down, the chop was sitting at a perfect height and ready for to see some miles. Stay tuned for the continuation of this little jalopy's journey as it makes a few appearances at events this year!
