What do you think of the metal work Jesse James used to do? And still does? I loved watching his Monster Garage show a few years ago not for the BS stuff, but for the occasional views of him worshipping his own heroes who handbeat metal into the earlier hot rods. I think he has also made some cool shit in his day. Too bad it's been overshadowed by the tabloid aspect of his life and the TV shows. But I thought his work was neat.

Some of his work that I've seen is pretty nice. I like his 'jump in and learn new stuff by doing it' approach, too. The dude definitely has some good skills and creativity. Too bad about his personal life though.

Holy crap that Dan Webb is bad ass (as you guys say). He obviously is a Metal God.

Is that steam-punk?

[conorb]

Wow, just wow. Totally amazing and aspirational.

Cool stuff.

I'm not a design historian, but wanna say that it combines elements of Steampunk (unhidden mechanical bits, brass & leather, etc.) with an Art Deco form. Whatever it is, it's ridiculously well done. The Buell's ZTL brakes up front look great, too.
