Behind this unassuming LBC garage door lies a Top Secret Brawny Built, Denver Dan, Scott Parker collaboration project. It's got two wheels but I'm willing to bet it's not what you're thinking. Stay tuned for updates!

Slash Records - R.I.P.
So I get a call one day from a friend telling me to get down to the Slash Records office on Beverly. They're finally closing it down and they're throwing out a bunch of cool shit!

This is the print used for the backcover of The Fleasheaters "A Minute To Pray, A Second To Die" (L to R Chris D, DJ Bonebrake, Dave Alvin, John Doe, Steve Berlin, Bill Bateman)
I think these two were promos for the first Divine Horsemen record.
(sorry about the flash I was to lazy to take it down)
(sorry about the flash I was to lazy to take it down)I always thought it was hilarious that there was an old neon sign from a pharmacy, that was long gone, above the door to the offices that said DRUGS (the sign is still there).

32' roadster with a hot flat motor Josh Higgins originally ran in his coupe. Josh built the motor himself, working for free at a machine shop in his spare time in exchange for the opportunity to learn to machine everything. The guy who owns the machine shop, AutoSport up here in Seattle, is a good guy and a former AMA vintage bike judge.
Anyway, that motor is gnarly! Tons of cam, high-rise Edelbrock dual carb. Intake, two Stromberg 97's. The Transmission had Zephyr gears and was hooked to a high geared banjo rear-end. You had to feather the throttle pretty gingerly around town, but the thing would run 100mph all day long without a hiccup.
What else? 40' Ford wheels, a three inch chop with a custom top to accommodate it, and a really subtle but nice oxblood leather interior. It was fun to drive because it smelled like a baseball glove. Oh, open headers too. Loud. It's all torn apart now and the roadster body was sold. The car will be reborn shortly as a full fendered, unchopped, three window coupe. Same motor, trans., and chassis though, which is rad.

Brawny Helps Denver Dan Ride Again
Brawny helped Denver Dan put this bike back together (made a few upgrades while they were in there) after Dan was hit by a woman in a mini van turning left into a gas station. Her kid said Dan as going at least 100 mph! Did I mention Dan put a really nice "racing stripe" on his truck in the very same gas station the night before! It was an expensive weekend for the Greek God.
