i can’t say that i know frankie but i have met him at viggdesigns.com .. and i am proud to say that he is one of the jersey’s finest … we doing it big .. frankie, mark ecko, jeff staple, gary gardella and me hahah ..

this doesn’t seem that bad but allot of us can’t even pay for he maintenance bill on this car stock ..

so allot of people have been giving me crap about wrapping my car .. here are a few reasons why, my best friend jVIGG, is going to wrap this so i know that the car will come out perfect .. the car will not look spotty .. look i have had a flat blue, flat black, now flat white, and i hate how it all comes out .. yes i have great body and paint guys its just not going to be as clean as a wrap hands down just face it hahah .. then maintenance .. try painting something flat black as a experiment .. and then try cleaning it with car care products with out making the flat shine .. any how i am wrapping the car .. and this is what is going to look like

here is an idea of the work that goes into this type of work .. and i think i am going to have gene from local scene make a video while we do this ..

i heart the simmons … one day .. one day .. me and mark will make it to this point .. and when the kids went for it, i was kinda like eh… but then pastries took off and now look at little digg’s ..

listens: Diggy Simmons’ mixtape “The First Flight” is here!

if you are from the city .. you know what song i am talking about, i can’t lie i am not really a city head. but when i am in the city .. there isn’t a station that doesn’t play “empire state of mind” this song just make me get my hustle … but then i found the “broken down version” …. 

well not to mention i heart alicia … hope to meet here since she is with vitamin water  sync (sister brand) any way listen to the new song .. enjoy ..

+ Listen to Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind Part II: Broken Down” here.

so i just got a email from the boys at makin industries, my wheels are in !!!

the only one thing is that i don’t a polished lip set up on the car, so i am going to www.viggdesigns.com and measure out the the lip and create a templet for 4 designer friends to design a mono chromatic (tone on tone) design for each wheel .. super excited .

i can’t front about it, this isn’t the first time anyone has done this .. but from what i can see BMW is the only brand that can pull this type of thing off

i cant afford to have a artist do a design .. but i might have some friends willing to help out ..

this hit the spot for me ..

then i spotted this .. i for sure don’t want the whole car as a mural .. but i think i am going to have the top of my 2 tone tagged up along with the wheels .. kinda just turning my car into our art car better yet a FATLACE art car ..

since bmw hasn’t done it for some time now .. well, once the wheels get here i’ll head over to vigg’s and we’ll go from there .. bye

ok so its been a while since i have gotten my hands dirty on a car .. i have been really all about getting to the next stage in my life and getting grown .. then i had a long talk with my mentor RJ devra .. and he said “just because your getting old doesn’t mean you can build a car, fool” and i hate to say it “he was right” .. so this is what started projectFIVE ..

the hardest part about this whole idea of building another car was time and money .. and that i didn’t want to build this car for me and i wanted to build something that was an extension to what who i am today, i look at the past cars i have build and think to my self wow .. man i am getting old .. and damn its been a long way since that day .. each car that any one builds and owns hold so many memories, its like a time capsule that holds a part of your sole .. this a really bad rendering of the car that i did but, this is so that everyone can get an over all idea of the build .. i will have better renderings soon ..
