Singlefinger Speed Shop to Invade 2009 Detroit Autorama

After a lot of hard work, plus multiple trips to Lowes, Home Depot, the old backyard shed, the shop rafters, & even some garbage picking, the Autorama display is finally done! It looks so freakin' awesome! Many thanks to everybody that helped make this come together.

I thought everybody might like to get a sneak-peek of our new display, because once we added the proper details, the lettering, & got the lights working, it really came to life.   (www.SinglefingerSpeedShop.com)  It's so realistic that Wayne wanted to know where we found the old panels, even as he was touching them! (killer work Todd & Tom!) The attached photo was taken just before we broke it back down & put in a trailer until showtime next week.

I don't know how our pal Martyn avoided getting captured on "film", but I've posted a few pics of everybody helping out along the way: 2009 Autorama Display

We're excited about introducing folks to our new website at this year's show. My cousin Louie has planned an Autorama Show Special for our new black Monster T-shirts & Singlefinger ball caps.

The Singlefinger Car Club will have 4 cars on display this year, each car highlights a different facet of the traditional hot rod scene.

Singlefinger Speed Shop's 2009 Detroit Autorama Event Schedule:

3pm Fri, Sat, Sun - H.A.M.B. "Meet & Greet".
6-10pm Sat - John Harrow (pinstriper/ artist) and model Jessica Danley will host a body art exhibit.
John will be adding his licks to any purchase of Singlefinger merchandise.
4pm Sun - Meet Kara G, Sunday's lovely spokesmodel.

We will be working with Pike to keep all of you guys & gals informed on what goes on at this year's show.  We'll send back pics of the cars, the people, & most importantly, the Ridler winner!

 

Can't wait to see ya at the show!
