Elite Streets Magazine - Custom Auto Art & Graphics

A D V E R T I S E M E N T

As you may know already, Fast Eddy (a.k.a Ed White) is a regular feature here at Elite Streets Magazine and we don't mind it one bit. The low down on Ed and how he got into his current profession can be traced back to his childhood. Growing up with a family that owned classic cars such as Chevelles and GTOs, you can see why Ed has much respect for our four wheeled friends! In 1998 Ed hooked up with SRC Motorsports in Houston and became a professional hot-rod designer. Since that time, you name it and more than likely Ed has probably inked it out on paper! As always, we were impressed with Ed's latest artistic renderings, so we decided to share those concepts with you.

If you wish to have your project built on paper before beginning to turn wrenches and drop cash, you can contact Ed at: 281.455.2883. Also, keep in mind that Ed can paint the real deal, too! If you want a wicked paint job on your ride, Ed "can-do" and "will-do" provided you have a little of the green stuff. To catch a glimpse of more examples of Ed's work, go to www.fehrarules.com. Be sure to tell Ed that ESM sent ya!

	This was a rather easy rendering for Ed since he is a fan of 1956 Chevy Nomads. Believe it or not this rendering was created in just five minutes! This Nomad is a purely new design and the skin is painted burnt orange and harvest gold. The lighting is composite style however the back up light is centered like the 1967 Corvette. The nose and tail are flexible parts and this is another car that Ed and Elite Streets Magazine would love to see at the next SEMA Show. There is just something about two door wagons, especially when they have been given the hot rod treatment. Yeah, to hell with buying a damn mini-van!
	Ahhhh and here we have Ed's rendering of a New Trans Am. This was a court house conception for Ed. The original sketch looked like a 1970, but Ed wanted more of a 1969 feel to it so the beaked grille, quad headlights, and lower fender vents were in order. The taillights are slotted, two on each side and the door handles are the pull up types. Though this is to harken back to the 1969 design, Ed designed the wheels to resemble the traits of a five-spoke honeycomb wheel of the 1970's.
	This car is a different rendering of the Camaro above. This is simply Ed's way of paying tribute to the Heavy Metal Bands of the 80's and 90's. With paint inspirations from the likes of Great White, Anthrax, Cinderella, Judas Priest, Metallica, and Megadeth this car can really get rockin' down the road. Keeping in-line with the time period, Ed says the inside has a full black leather interior with chrome studs on everything. Yep, it's time to go view some old MTV video tapes of Headbangers Ball!
	This car actually came to Ed while he was counting sheep one night. The next morning Ed woke up and the car just fell right out of his pencil onto the back of a Hooters receipt. Some have redesigned the Chevelle, but they all seem a little hacked up. That's ok because Ed is to the rescue! This Chevelle has composite headlamps, a billet grille, front/rear urethane bumpers, and 20"/24" hoops (inspired from the original SS). The grille retains the current generation Chevy spear through it and the trim on the rear is made of billet aluminum clear coated to retain the luster. The taillights are a single bulb with two "windows" each.
	This is the 1956 Ford Courier owned by Joe Schott and it is currently being built by Dennis Beeson of West Coast Rod and Chassis (818.780.4370). It sports a slight chop and the suspension has been given a ground hugging stance. All of the chrome trim is actually airbrushed on. The wheels are 20" and 22" 180 spoke wired Daytons, respectively. (see interior rendering below)
	The interior of the 1956 Ford Courier (above), has late model Cadillac seating with tuck-n-roll in leather and suede. The dash comes out of a 1957 Ford Thunderbird with the trim going all the way to the back of the car. High quality Mercedes carpet and digital gauges finish off this super kewl interior.
Finally, the monster (or should I call it Munster, Ed?) at the top of this feature is a H1. This is the only REAL Hummer... you know the ride that carried our boys to victory in Desert Storm and on the battlefields of Iraq. Ed's wife thinks it looks like Herman Munster (hence our little inside joke up top). Here is the story: A well known shop in Ed's town slammed an H2 to drag rocker. So, with that, and the Jeep Brazen that Ed designed, he took the premise of a 1930's Ford Sedan hot rod and applied it to a Hummer. It's slammed with 24" and 28" rims that mimic the originals with their automatic air system in working order. The front axle centerline has been pulled forward four-inches, the top is wedge chopped three-inches in front, nothing in the rear with laid back A-pillars. Except for a roll pan, nose job, and H2 hood handles, the body is pretty much stock... just shaved. Ed even included the ghosted image of an original Hummer as a backdrop. Quiet a difference!
