Mind boggling what's happened. Glad we were able to meet Ken Block 2 years ago at . That day really showed something about the individual... Team did not do so well at the event, it was 98° +humidity for spectators (+105° for the drivers) Ken was not in the best of moods post stage as he walked to his trailer, Alex looked drained as well... He went into his trailer and I surely thought he was done for the day... No he came out, greeted my son, with a smile on his face, along with a few other fans that lingered around. That day he met a kid that at the time was infatuated with gymkhanas and all things Block. That day he not only made a kid happy but helped a dad keep his promise. May you rest easy, my condolences to the Block family and friends.

Finally finished the pinstripping on the 3rd "MINIHOONICORN" still somewhat torn between the flat paint and satin vinyl, but when light hits you see the difference 🤘

We will inch away at it, initially was going to finish this in 2022, but for the most part...

We're going to hold off til 2023. Making room for other projects, do this one right(live axle since there's already a frame), get the right motor instead of recycling what we have, get some lighting and give it a mini tour next year. 2023 should be good 🤘👍

Finally got around to pinstripping one side of this 3rd iteration of the "MINIHOONICORN" the last one I swear! 😂

-center seat and steering this time 😂
-this ones NOT AWD
-individual motors in the back.

Looking back maybe I should've done a dark DARK grey as opposed to flat black as the black vinyl gets lost a bit...

Just need to finish the , wrap some bits in carbon fiber, and layout the motors + gears + run the wiring 🤘🤘. Good thing winter is coming. Will be done by spring hopefully 🤙

This Matte Black was not only a quick build but more or less a . A study of what can be done and what to adjust for the next FIVE vettes we have in storage. Adjusting the widebody and fender flares and heights but feels promising...

Also DEFINATELY easier to maneuver around as it's lighter than the mustangs

A bit late but a milestone. Back in June we were at Southern Ohio Forest Rally for another American Rally Association event. We went on a weekend getaway to see some rally action! Hoonigan / Hoonigan Racing Division was there we were lucky enough to meet and get wigs from Alex Gelsomino and Travis Pastrana and I was able to keep my promise to Dae, to meet Ken Block albeit not under the most ideal conditions. End of events around 10 pm after running in 96° weather(with heat indexes in the +100° in car) dae got to meet the man that he admired for rally, & his .

From one father & son to the next Vaughn Gittin Jr. . It was only fitting since my son is a big fan 🤘🤘 hope Gunnar and you enjoy 🤘🤘

I met .customs at a few years ago. He built this Mustang RTR spec 5 for his son Daemen who has outgrown it. Daemen wanted to give it to our son Gunnar and they brought to for us. Seriously brought a tear to my eye that this young man wants to give one of his favorite Toys that his father hand made for him to us for us to enjoy like he did when he was younger. My gratitude cannot be a expressed in words, but Thank you so much!

After a rough beginning of the year, finally got around to delivering the , Projekt 💪 ... Onto the next project.

Hopefully she gets some time out at the events this year 👍🙏

Big thank you to Connie’s Cups and Crafts for the last minute vinyl sticker and shout out to X-treme Graphics & Lettering for the vinyl wrap material!! 🤘🤗

If you don't learn from your journey it is a lost experience... DEFINATELY have learned from this one and will take some lessons onto the next build.
