http://www.armageddontopfuel.com is being updated. We have no idea which way it's gonna go. If you buy a shirt and we're out of it, we'll happily substitute it for a new Conder Custom shirt or refund your money.

Crazy cool shit is happening and I've put the rails complete with engines in my house to save on rent. If you've backed us up in the past, thanks. If you plan to, thanks. As always, if you're interested in any of my work let me know, it all gets us closer to the track. - Fuelers and Choppers forever, Tim

Do you still have Gigantic?

I just sold Gigantic to Walter, who will be taking very good care of it until I make enough money to buy it back. He'll ride it more than I do and treat her better.

I'm putting our '62 up for sale (again) along with everything else that I can get by without to buy me some work time on the dragsters. I traded the '62 at the beginning of ATF for a '91 chev lowrider truck, a set of 18" Americans and a Ducati 900 SS. After red 'flakin' the Ducati I sold all that stuff, and the dough went to Pete Ogden. The car went through a couple owners who took really good care of 'er, then I got it back on a paint trade. This time when we sell it the money goes to ATF again. Pretty cool.

My life is like the cartoon where that little chickenhawk goes to a dog and says "I want a chicken". So he says "bring me a bone an' I'll get you a chicken". So the chickenhawk goes to a cat and says "I want a bone" and the cat goes "Get me a fish an' I'll get you a bone" so then the chickenhawk goes .........etc etc. Life is funny. I should just have Wal-Mart sponsor me. I could go to the sporting goods department, buy a gun with my new discount and shoot myself in the head! How's that for "reality TV" ya nerds! HUH?!

The wagon's going on Ebay soon but if anybody wants it let me know. - Thanks

I'd so buy that wagon, but its the wrong color

Everybody down here loves those red metalflake window frames, and they hate the shift knob.

We are adding these new links soon to the site as well as more fine tuning. It's still anybody's race (as usual) but if you're like these guys and have backed us up in our quest for CREATION/DESTRUCTION, let me know and we'll hook you up. - Thanks

True, it is confusing. If someone I like buys it and wants to pay me to finish it, cool. I never cared WHO owned the thing anyway...Whatever you build, you OWN. After all, if a guy named Larry has a Van Gogh in his house, it's still a Van Gogh, not a "Larry".

The bottom line boys, is that I couldn't get Quentin Tarantinos phone number if I walked into Miramax with 200 sticks of TNT strapped to my naked ass and a hustler girl on each arm. If I had the time to build a decent roladex worth of numbers ATF would be happening. I spend all my time in the red garage makin' short money!

That's all that's holding us back, well that, and the fact I differed my school loans and only paid the interest on back taxes for 5 years and refuse to work with anyone or be sponsored by anything that's shifty or stupid. Yep, that about sums it up. Time to be a good daddy, pay all my bills and focus on some projects that don't make people go, "YER FUCKIN' NUTS!"

I'll tell you one thing, I'm a hell of a lot closer to screaming down the 1/4 mile today than I was in '99. Back then it was just a thought in my head. If it don't go, and my beautiful rails wind up on some corny reality show or become bracket racers with neon splash "grafix"...the NEXT fuckin' art project I do is gonna be made out of dried elbow macaroni and raw black eyed peas! VIVA Los REVOLUCIONE MOTHERFUCKERS!!! or (if you ever bought a t-shirt or helped at the shop) God Bless or Hail Satan my brothers and sisters.
