Discount Tire RESQ1 Jeep Build

Source Interlink and Discount Tire partnered up to create the ultimate off-road support vehicle.  The result is RESQ1, a stretched 4-door Jeep JK complete with a custom service bed, V8 power, and extreme suspension.  Find out more about the build including video documentation at www.dtcresq1.com

HCR owner Tavis Highlander helped out early on in the build with the initial direction and layout of the vehicle.  The style and purpose of the vehicle changed dramatically throughout the design process.

Bilstein's "Just Add" Sweepstakes

I've been working with Source Interlink Media and Bilstein designing the "Just Add" sweepstakes vehicles.  At the beginning of the sweepstakes voters on Facebook picked their favorite vehicle (an F-150, Mustang, or BMW 3-Series).

The BMW 335i was picked by Bilstein's Facebook fans as the favorite and voting moved into round two, where fans would now vote on which paint scheme would adorn the BMW.
Round two of Bilstein's "Just Add" sweepstakes gave fans
the chance to vote on which paint scheme they liked best
Bilstein's customers are design savvy and picked the design which was also my favorite, phase one.  Simplicity kicked some butt in this project!  Be sure to sign up at: http://www.justaddbilstein.com/

'58 Corvette

Just a little while ago I finished up a few drawings for Image Street Rods in Portland, OR.  The custom interior will be stitched up by Gabe's Custom Interiors.
