Billy Sakata's T

We got to spend a couple minutes last weekend with Billy Sakata in Torrance before we had to head out.  He has a killer T Bucket that he has been driving for a while.  Shooting with him was so fast and easy. Humble guy....he rules.

Jack Carroll's Coupe

We followed Jack Carroll of the Burbank Choppers through Griffith Park last weekend.  We got to see some parts of the "old zoo" that we never even knew existed.  There is always something to see in L.A.  We want to say thanks to Jack for that.

Bobby Green at the Old Crow

We had a chance to hang out with Bobby and his roadster for about half a day last weekend.  We got some good shots and some good laughs.  It's always fun to drive in a roadster.  Here are a few of the photos we didn't use for the next issue.

Brian Law 66 Motor Palace

We spent a few hours this morning with Brian Law at his shop in Orange, CA. Like us, Brian is also into photography-- you could check out his photos on his website http://www.66motorpalace.com

Also, if you're in the market for some good-quality leather jackets check out the store on  66 Motor Palace. 

Expect to see more of Brian in our 4th volume. Happy Cindo de Mayo!

SUPPORT / SHARE / FUND OUR NEXT MAG

Matt and I are big into keeping these mags all about the subject matter,  and because of this, we've strayed away from including ads & sponsors. Times are kind of rough nowadays and with each issue it gets harder and harder to fund the mag altogether. We really enjoy doing all of this and really want to keep this thing going... but we need all the help we could get. I'm not really asking anyone to drop major bucks for this, but anything would help us out.

Indieagogo is an awesome website for people with hobbies/passions/careers that can't always guarantee a paycheck. Along with so many other folks, we've posted a campaign for Throttle Merchants Volume 4 for donations.

We've already shot about 3/4 of this upcoming issue and would be seriously bummed if we couldn't share it with all of you. With each volume, I really do get more and more excited to share images of this culture and the great people we've had the opportunity to meet & photograph.

Support us any way you can... we'd appreciate it so much! If you don't feel like donating you could always share our link on facebook, twitter, or whatever silly social media website you covet.
