Meet Lukas.
A high school Junior willing to learn and scotch bright our frames. We thought it would be helpful to give Lukas a little ‘real world’ experience in fabrication before he’s graduates. His high school’s internship program let the students pick a business they want to try and go test it out for a week. Lukas chose the motorcycle fabrication industry. So we tought him a bit about welding, drilling, grinding and finishing. After their internships, students write a paper for their class and come back with some new skills and a WCC attitude.
The Lone Star Roundup car show weekend is only days away in Austin, Texas.
This is the weekend that we wait for all year long. Hundreds of traditional hot rod and custom cars invade Austin for a weekend of cars and music. Every Saturday night after the last day of the show, Austin Speed Shop has their annual party to help close down the weekend. You don’t want to miss it. Passes will be distributed at the Austin Speed Shop booth during the car show while they last. Also this year, House Industries will be having an art show opening on Friday night at the Luther’s Store on South Congress Avenue. See you this weekend?

GET YOUR LBC CHAPEL HOODIE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. CAN I GET A PRAISE JESUS UP IN THE HOUSE?
If Jesus was still around, we’re pretty sure he’d approve of Ministry of Busted Knuckles Hoodie. In fact, he might even be tempted to pull one on over his robe. Those white robes can get a little chilly at night. But you don’t have to wait for the 2nd coming to see WWJD, when you can bust a move and go buy one right now at our online store, (or in our Long Beach store if you’re in town.) It features a hand drawn, old school grim reaper skull on the back and a mini reaper on the front in an eye-catching gold and maroon color scheme.
And like we mentioned above, quantities are very limited on this one, so get ‘em while you can. Amen.

Gone but definitely NOT forgotten!
It’s no April Fool’s joke…today is Cisco’s birthday. He came barking into the world in 1996, and sadly left us in 2008. He woulda been 14 this year. But his memory lives on with everyone at West Coast Choppers that had the pleasure of playing tug of war with him, or scratchin’ him on the butt. He was always happy to see you and greeted guests with that wagging tail of his.
And who knew that this friendly old shop dog would be the inspiration for our own Cisco Burger? Yep! Right next door to the shop is our eco-friendly burger joint that has an old school vibe and the tastiest burgers in town. But Cisco did get to benefit from having it next door to the shop, all the WCCers would bring him back bacon strips for a treat.
So his spirit lives on at Cisco Burger. Check out our menu, we bet there’s something on it that will appeal. If you’re ever in the area, swing by and have a Cisco Combo. Mention this ad and get $1 off the special of the day. Good thru the ENTIRE month of April! Don’t live in the LBC? No problem, just pop online and order some Cisco Swag.
To celebrate the occasion, we dug through the WCC Vault under the shop and dredged up some oldie but goodies. Look at Jesse when he was like 12 years old or something…when he still had bare spots on his arms. And also a couple shots of our pal Cisco, and a some shots from Cisco Burger and a cool Cisco Tee available at our store.
Happy Birthday Cisco!
