or anywhere else for that matter
So you may have seen the mad skillz on our boy Tim Sutton, as evidenced in the pages of our very own Garage Magazine. He’s photog extraordinaire. What you may not have known is that he’s also gots some even madder skillz he busts out when he’s not behind the camera. He and his band of knucklehead buddies risk life and limb on the weekends, all in the name of going fast.
They do this little thing called soapbox racing. It’s ummmm….slightly illegal. Or as Tim likes to call it, “stupid 12 year old fun. It’s sorta like Fight Club.” And they’ve got a website…Did Fight Club have a website? It’s at scisr.org. That stands for So Cal Illegal Street Racers. Catchy. Check out his antics, but like we said above, don’t try this on your own. Well, unless you’ve got an old Sega Video Arcade chassis you can strap into.
THE WEST COAST CHOPPERS MODIFIED JAG lives on!
Check out the article on the matte black jag we modified a few months back. The guys at ModifiedPages.com stopped out a couple weeks ago and took some shots, chatted with Jesse and went on their way to do a little write up on the car. See the whole article on their site: ModifiedPages.com.

And the winner is….you!
Psych! Made you look! You didn’t think it we were gonna show you an actual Oscar did you? Just because we happen to know a gal that picked one up the other day. Not to drone on about it, but we’re pretty damn excited about the whole thing! And as if the Miss B Oscar win wasn’t enough, Jesse washed!! So we’re all benefitting from that this week. He still smells red carpet clean. Win-win!
So, although we’re not showing you THE Oscar, we thought we’d at least give you the gill-covered swimming version. He’s kinda cute too.
if you can’t wait to hear it here, follow jesse on twitter
Whether he’s at lunch, working, out and about in Long Beach, or on the red carpet, Jesse keeps everyone up to the minute on what he’s doing, who he’s following, or some interesting person he’s met by tweeting. He leaks info on twitter before we even know about it. So, if you want to really be the first to know WTF is going on at the motorcycle ranch, or with just about anything else Jesse is up to, follow his tweets at: frankyluckman.
Super Sneak Peek Behind the Scenes of Jesse’s Next Big Project
Ok, we can’t show you a lot, or even tell you a lot. Not yet at least. But we can say there’s something in the works at WCC. It involves some hammering, some welding, a film crew, and little bit of cussing, and it will be ready for your viewing pleasure in the not too distant future. Sure, you’ve seen Jesse in Motorcycle Mania, Monster Garage, Iraq Confidential, and Jesse James is a Dead Man, but this is something totally different.
So, what can we tell you about? One hint: he was in Isreal for a couple weeks picking up some new skills, and since he’s been back, he’s been in his shop working away, only to come up for air, a Cisco Burger, and to crack the whip on the worker bees around WCC. So after he’s back a few weeks, a flatbed rolls up to the shop, loaded with a massive, God-knows-how-heavy hunk of machinery. It took a special industrial forklift to get the two-piece contraption to his work area. Once that thing was up and running, we noticed film crews showing up at the shop, started hearing some LOUD strange noises, so we couldn’t take it… we snuck into his shop and snapped this production still to give you a peek at the action.
Stay tuned here. you’ll be the first to find out what all the hub bub is about!
It’s been in our store for months but if you’re not in LBC then you can still have your very own.
