Bullitt Chase Scene

When I think of car chase scenes, the Steve McQueen/Bullitt chase scene is by far my favorite. Interestingly the driver of the Dodge Charger was Bill Hickman. Bill not only drove the Charger and was one of the hitman in the movie, but he also helped with the chase scene choreography. To find out more about Bill see this article “Why Bill Hickman is Hollywood’s greatest ever stunt driver.

And if you haven’t seen it already, Greg Laurie did a book titled “Steve McQueen: The Salvation of an American Icon” which gave me a lot of insight on Steve that I haven’t read anywhere else, it is definitely worth it.

Chevy Hand-drawn Billboard

Artistically this would be a challenge for any artist. When I saw this video I started thinking of having to deal with proportion while being so close to the drawing surface.

I think this is a cool marketing idea. Not only does it get people talking, like myself, but think of all the people driving by while it was being completed.

I tried searching to see who the artist was but I couldn’t find anything. If someone finds out, please let me know.

Remembering John Lennon

Today marks 30 years since we lost John Lennon.

I thought I would share his Mind Games video with you. I like how this video shows his interaction with everyone around him. There is a funny part where he goes into the revolving doors of the jewelry store Tiffany & Co. and comes out with a hot dog like he just purchased it there.

There are more of John’s videos to see over at Yahoo.

Motorcycle Hearse

I was going through some of the video I took at the Old Settler’s Parade this year and came across this motorcycle hearse.

I haven’t seen this one before and after a little research I found out it was from Clear Creek Coach.

Sorry for the splice in the middle of the video but a person got in front of me, temporarily blocking my shot, so I took that part out.

Illuminati Motor Works Concept Car – Taking Shape

The guys over at Illuminati Motor Works have uploaded a new video showing how the concept car “Seven” is taking shape. The way they describe the building process it reminds me of the way Ed “Big Daddy” Roth use to build his Show Cars.
