DID YOU KNOW that Batman actually killed the MUNSTERS??

Seventy hysterical episodes of THE MUNSTERS were produced. But the show was canceled after ratings had dropped to a series low in the face of competition… which was ABC’s BATMAN. Yes, Batman was to blame, but The Munsters found a large audience in syndication over the next 50 years and cemented itself into Pop Culture History. And today, Fireball launches some new items IN THE GARAGE to keep that dark and creepy ball rollin!’ Our Favorite character?? SPOT.

The MUNSTER KOACH was made from 3 Model T bodies by George and is 18 feet long. It’s currently in the possession of the Barris Estate in Oxnard.

The 133″ frame was hand-made, has a four speed manual transmission and a power rear end. 350HP, 289ci Ford Mustang V-8 as a four-speed. Two four-barrel carburetors mounted on a Edelbrock Ram-Thrust manifold. The carburetors were mounted backwards in an effort to save space and the pull type throttle actuation modified into a pusher type. The Koach rode on a 133-inch wheelbase, was covered in BLACK PEARL PAINT, featured a coffin-like blood red velvet interior with four-row seating, and was just plain awesome. WATCH Fireball below take a close-up look. >>>

Today’s SKETCH comes from Fireball’s WACKY CAR SEMINARS with Kids. He visits Schools and asks kids to design a car with THEIR specs. This one came out as the STRAWBERRY RAPTOR ROCKET 5000!

Also featured is Fireball’s BLADE RUNNER themed MINI Cooper that premiered at the LA AUTO SHOW and built by legend Eddie Paul. Where is it now??

And finally, today’s BEST OF SHOW features this smokin’ hot all-original LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH.

BONUS SKETCH! Bosozoku Celica, Mini 220, Diecast & EMERGENCY

I get to SKETCH  a lot of cool cars like HiroK’s BOSOZOKU Celica GT you see here. The cooler the BETTER, I always say. But I’m so grateful when someone reaches out and hires me to whip-snap their ride and it results in 5 cars for SEMA and a crap load of others coming!

But each say is a GIFT and getting to SKETCH Concept Art for you guys and for Movies is the BEST! So today, along with Hiro’s ride comes the all-new MINI 220. A concept, that although didn’t get built in my shop, made it into the GARAGE for you guys who love the Coops. All my MINIS were fast and a little scary, but this one will only chill on your wall and look badass. So no worries.

Also found this VINTAGE BALL of me doin’ the Diecast thing in 1973 with some Corgi’s and Dinkys! You can’t really see it, but in the upper right corner was a massive close-up photo of HARPO MARX laughing. I woke up to the picture for YEARS! No wonder I love havin’ a good time!

And… a word of CAUTION. The latest EMERGENCY CANVAS PRINT just launched this morning may cause severe coolness in you world. So BEWARE. This is my Official Disclaimer as I don’t want your head to POP OFF when someone enters your crib and starts flippin’ the wild weenie. They may… and you’ll have to handle it.

Tons of new BEST OF SHOW episodes are coming every day so be sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Youtube Channel!

And finally…  A BIG THANK YOU to today’s NEW SUBSCRIBERS to the Garage! You guys ROCK!!

BONUS SKETCH!! Blade Runner 2099, AMX, DinoGirl and JAIL!

Super excited about the upcoming BLADE RUNNER 2099 Series on Prime as I’ve been waiting to see this for eons. I was very fortunate to sit by the side of SYD MEAD as he created painting for the original 1982 film. It’s come a long way and should be fantastic. Today, I managed to bust out this NEW PIECE for the garage, plus some TEES. Check ’em out!

LATEST NEWS… Filming in PRAGUE and SPAIN right now, and DID YOU KNOW that Blade Runner 2099 and Aliens are IN THE SAME UNIVERSE?

Up today also is this massively disproportionate AMX… cause I can, and it’s badass. Who had one of these? As well as a great piece of Wilma Flintstone by Artist Serge Birault Wilmaflinstone. LOVE IT!

And finally, CRIME DOESN’T PAY when you try and boost a car from an Auto Show. Technically, I was just “feelin’ ‘er out” and got a little carried away. Cops were cool tho and I got away with a warning… and some FREE MUGS. Doosh.

Today’s BEST OF SHOW is this sweet KUSTOM PHANTOM VOODOO. WATCH!
