Posted by: Austin Speed Shop on 05/28/2009

You want em, you got em. Overwhelmed with requests for these red hats, we ordered up a limited run. We’ve got good stock on the red and blue “Window Logo” Hats as well as the Black/gray “Picasso Logo” hats. Flex fit trucker hats are in stock too…..just in time for summer.

Another Day at the Shop
Posted by: Austin Speed Shop on 02/24/2009
Jesse James came by last week and took some pictures while he was at the shop. His photography is really impressive. Seeing the shop through his lense made me think about how lucky we are to be doing what we’re doing.



Fender Guitars Custom Shop
Posted by: Austin Speed Shop on 12/24/2008
Cars and Guitars…….they’re like Peanut Butter and Jelly. The NAAM Show in Anaheim, California is the big show for the Music industry much like SEMA is to the automotive industry. Our pal Mike at the Fender Custom Shop asked us to help them style out their NAAM booth this year with some Austin Speed Shop goodies. We’re taking care of the decor and seating, and our friends at Sucker Punch Sallys are building a custom bike to throw in the mix.
Todd got out his paint gun and flamed a 1950 Mercury Hood, Candied a 1932 Grille shell and painted a custom sign on some old tin. Dart stopped by to stripe the flames and put a lick on the grille shell. Sean stitched up a 1960 Cadillac bench seat, some 60’s buckets, a couple Fender Custom Shop Amplifiers and a custom upholstered grille insert for the 32 grille shell. We feel confident that Fender will be pleased…….

Sneak Peek
Posted by: Austin Speed Shop on 12/11/2008

This is a VERY special build that we’re really proud of. This truck has some serious history with the shop and has been with this building since new in 1949. The story and details will be saved for when she’s finished, which is drawing near.
Stay tuned…..
Woody in Texas
Posted by: Austin Speed Shop on 11/20/2008


You don’t see many Woodies cruising the streets of Austin, Texas. I never even saw one till my first trip to California years ago. Woodies are a really neat piece of automotive history and an icon representing one of the coolest subcultures of the last Century; Surfing.
Project 6-String

It’s good to venture outside the box every now and again. We were honored to get a call from our friends over at the Fender Custom Shop asking us to be involved in a special project they were doing with Toyota for the big SEMA Show…..

Stitchin’ in Tradition

It began with a call from Doc in Louisiana. He bought the Silva Speed Special and wanted a Fat Lucky’s Interior STAT!

Creepy!
Posted by: Austin Speed Shop on 10/9/2008
A couple of weeks ago Sean decided to put some Fat Lucky’s magic on a couple of creepers from the local parts store. Man, are they cool! I LOVE the look of old upholstery from back in the day and can’t wait to see these weather and age from use in someones garage. I’m going to have to get Sean to stitch one up to match my Fat Lucky’s Upholstery. He can do one for you too…….
