    Street Faction Welded Nights

    Some of you may know, when working on cars there’s always a bump in the road to complete your project. Those bumps in the roads usually lead to customizing and cutting things that you didn’t expect. Thankfully we have someone like Matt from Street Faction to help us out. He’s an upcoming fabricator and welder that builds pretty sick drift cars and stylish bash bars that replaces your stock crash bar.

    A lot of swag points are accumulated when you can weld as nice as Matt.

    That side roll cage and his doors and fenders come off fast for quick access or just to make the car look gangster.

    Summer in Ghetto Valley

    It’s been a long time since I’ve been to this corner of California. I used to swing by every other weekend just to sleep over and make shitty fried rice. Well, things change, people grow apart, and memories are just that…memories. So, it was cool to see some of the guys that I haven’t seen because of whatever they have going on in their lives. I forgot how much fun it was when we just hung out and did random shenanigans.

    Wekfest 2012 – San Francisco

    Sunday, February 19th, 2012 was the day of the highly anticipated Wekfest 4 by Weksos Industries. This Northern California Automotive Show did not disappoint one bit. People from all over the country came to the San Francisco Bay for this event.  There were just good vibes all around. The amount of spectators at Wekfest was just crazy. We got to catch up with some old pals and we also got to meet a lot of new people! There were just good vibes all around.
