This bodykit and wing makes the car so different. The wheels especially being super close to the fender. I went to the shop today, mocked it all up for the Alpinestars guys. A little teaser for you. I honestly haven’t been this excited for my car to be done.

I decided to design some packing tape since we’re pushing Illest as an apparel line offshoot by fatlace. Cover anything you want with a roll. Your bumper, your table, your bike, pack boxes, etc. Fun stuff..

Connected with the boys at Drift Emporium at Sema. We’re almost there! Some stuff came in.

Wheels. Have to send back as the entire wheel needs to be powder coated, not just the face.

Its funny, there’s a bunch of friends I can count on being online this time of the night. Usually I sign off around 1-2am (the kids wake up around 630) and they’re still on and active. Not sure what they’re doing but we do have one thing in common and that’s sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation is a sleep disorder characterized by having too little sleep. It can be either chronic or acute. I’m sure its not good but many of you know me and I’m busy every minute of the day. Designing, Talking with people and just making things happen.

I’m not sure about the generation before us but I’m pretty sure our generation is the first to be constantly ON. We watch TV and have the laptop on our laps surfing at the same time, we have our phone (sometimes 2) on us at all times, we’re constantly plugging away at our navigation. It’s crazy if you really think about it.

Anyways, thought I’d bring it up since sleep is definitely something I should have more of. Do you sleep enough?

Jay and I just finished part 1 of our winter shoot with Nikki. You can refer to her as Nikki Fatlace. Awesome girl. You’ll see all the selected photos this week on the site as well as on a projector at the 10 Year Anniversary Party this Friday!

Here’s one of the final shots unedited.

Im usually stressed when I goto Sema but this year was different. I didnt build a car this time around so it was the first time to go there just to meet with friends to catchup on their lives and see what they have planned for 2010. Of course there were the very important meetings which will help pave the way for fatlace next year but this year I got to really check out some of the cars and get inspiration from some of the best builders on the planet.
