Cool Chrome.....Stuff We Like, That You Might

From time to time were gonna post some info about company's that pimp really cool stuff.......at least we think it's cool, but you'll have to check it out for yourself,  which is really half the fun right........getting a line on what's new (at least to you) and sharing it with your bros. Or not.........totally up to you.

If you dig really "out there" hot rod and rock inspired artwork, you've got to check out http://www.coopstuff.com/ ; the site features all things "Coop" (aka Chris Cooper); stickers, posters, statues, t-shirts, and books. I have to say I really dig Coop's style; his devil girls and devil head are simply iconic, it's not for everyone......trust me, your mom would not be pleased, so you might give this site a pass. Or, you might be rushing off to it as we speak, your call. One other thing, and this is kind of a bummer, apparently the site is closing down, once they sell off what they have, finis!! So get it while you can, I know I'm gonna be placing a fat sticker order real soon.

And while one the subject of hot rods, there's a couple of slick car culture magazines (yeah, I know, magazines are dead, but until the paper actually petrifies, you need to check these out) you may not be familiar with that will blow you away.......no "Fast and Furious" import crap here, only heavy metal American iron. The first is "Car Kulture Deluxe" (http://www.ckdeluxemag.com/), who's motto is, "not your old man's car magazine"........that alone makes it worth the $5.99. The other rag, and my fave is "Traditional Rod & Kulture Illustrated" (http://www.rodandkulture.com/) , both are spawned from the same publisher (http://www.koolhousepublishing.com/). Car Kulture has more ads and "how to" features, while Rod & Kulture is fairly crammed with photo spreads on some of the coolest rides ever.......from Willy's to Merc's, rat rods and Gasser's.........with the occasional sick bobber thrown in for good measure. Oh, and the pin-up chicks (G rated, stop sweating) are kinda hot too......

If you wanna sport some nifty tee's that aren't brandishing the bar and shield, I've got some good business for you. The first site is http://www.deathmachinecorpse.com/, with a name like that how could it be anything but awesome??? And it is........check out their take on Harley's "number one" design, and make sure you get yours today before the Motor Company drops a buzz kill on the Death Machine crew. It's mostly skull themed designs, but they're fresh, simple and raw.......like a biker t-shirt should be. Their shopping cart is Pay-Pal which is kinda lame, but works OK. They process/ship quick and even dropped some bonus stickers into the box! Good stuff.

But wait, there's more. American Made Kustom (http://www.americanmadekustom.com/) has some mouth wateringly sick designs, think "rock-a-billy meets rat rod" and you're on the right track. The prices are reasonable, and the service solid. Check out the "Straight to Hell" shirt........very cool. You can't go wrong with any of them.........and bonus, many of the designs are available in women's styles as well. Now your honey can look as dope as you.............well, almost.

That's it for now..............OK, one more tidbit..............go to http://www.posterpop.com/, there it is, that's all I'm gonna say...........no go, scurry............
