If you are a regular reader of Elite Streets Magazine (ESM) you are probably familiar with Fast Eddy's Hot Rod Art (a.k.a. Ed White) who has been a repeat offender in many of ESM issues since 2004. As always, Ed goes that extra mile to impress and leaves no stone unturned which is why he comes up with some fascinating custom auto concepts.

The low down on Ed and how he got into his current profession can be traced back to his childhood... that is, he comes from a long line of automotive enthusiasts. Ed has been inking out cars on the drawing board since Moses wore short pants, so Ed is a seasoned vet who knows his cars/trucks and can lay down some innovative ideas onto paper.

As always, ESM is impressed with Ed's latest renderings. ESM encourages our readers to contact Ed and give him the thumbs up, but more importantly if you are working on a project, hire Ed for some direction! Also, keep in mind that Ed can paint the real deal, too! If you want a wicked paint job on your ride, Ed can get that rolling for you, provided you have enough cash to cover his fee.

The Muridae is a perfect example of “inspiration from weird places.” Ed's wife has a laptop computer that uses a wireless mouse to operate it. (Can you see where this is going?) When Ed looked at the mouse, he could see this car, so a rendering was born. When Ed first designed this, he was thinking it could be a V6 or even an upgraded V8 car (made by Nissan possibly), but by the time the rendering was complete, Ed figured it could be an excellent electric car. No pipes coming out the back, semi streamlined with a clear spoiler, this ride can haul the entire family and the front can be all trunk. It’s painted two tone silver and grey (just like the mouse) and it has LED lights. Oh, yeah, the name… Ed consulted a thesaurus looking for other words for “mouse” and came up with “murine.” That sounded too much like eye drops, so Ed pressed on until he came upon “muridae” which sounds like “holiday.” It means “old world rat” like from London in the 1600s. You remember the Black Death, right? Could this rendering be the "Black Death" of fuel powered autos? Hmmm....

This truck is a 2008 Ram Pamona. Dodge has this Ram Daytona that’s an appearance package with a wing that crosses the tailgate bed area. The idea behind the Pamona is a balls out rocker with a real Hemi performance pack with ram air and free flow exhaust named after the famous racetrack. There’s a shaker scoop incorporated into the power bulge hood, air exits on top of the fenders (semi-Barracuda style), blacked out grille, slick front bumper that draws enough air to specific areas (radiator, brakes) and deflects the rest around the body. Moving around the body, the lower rear cab is sculpted into the runway for a scoop that is in the leading edge of the bed for rear brake cooling. (You can see the duct in the rear shot... that’s not a red framerail) A Road Runner wing and bed cover take care of the top of the bed and smooth 2004 taillights and a roll pan that has vents to allow air to escape and an exhaust relief round out the back end. A beefy 24/26-inch wheel combo is handled by an adjustable suspension. It’s in track setting for the rendering. The graphics are painted on in old school wooden surf board style.

A fella named Mark Kopp at Mark Kopp Kustoms out of Anderson, South Carolina, is building this 1962 Chevy C-10. The body is fully shaved, body dropped, bagged, rolling on 20-inch Boyd Magnums. PPG blue, PPG gun metal gray separated by some killer orange tribal graphics finish up the exterior's aesthetics.

Will Lawrence (owner of Massage Envy) is having this 1967 Chevy pickup built by Carlos Bernal in Dickinson, Texas (he runs All Pro Auto Collision 281-339-1199). Most of the body will remain stock with a few custom mods such as shaved hood letters, shaved stake pockets, shaved door emblems and mirrors. One piece windows are planned for the side door glass. Wood bed flooring from Mar-K with stainless strips will be installed along with new factory moldings for the sides and tailgate from Mar-K as well. A Suicide Doors air ride system is installed on all 4 corners for instant face time with the asphalt, while running an updated 1987 Chevy truck suspension. A 5.3L motor runs this sled while a 4L60E transmission controls the action. Wait4Me Performance will handle the wiring harness modification chores. The interior will be UltraLeather and Suede two tone interior and all interior surfaces wearing a Matte Clear finish for an updated look inside. Wheels will be Coy's 20-inchers in the front with 22-inchers in the rear.

This is a 1953 GMC 6x6 dubbed “Section 8” which is an experiment in the insane. It’s full of top fuel goodness. All six wheels pull and the diffs are geared to accommodate the different wheel sizes. Powered by a top fuel Hemi and a two speed glide, this beast will go through the traps in about 7 seconds. Only the fame and front clip are metal. The rest of the body is fiberglass. It has a chin spoiler and an adjustable wing to keep it planted at warp(ed) speed. It takes two parachutes to haul this thing back down to speeds where brakes are actually useful. All the lights work and it would be street legal with mufflers.
