!!!Attack Of The Ren Clark Clones!!!!

Here's the new mugs that are going to be ready for shipping next week

Hey, be careful opening those cases with that there chainsaw!!!

You've got a masochistic side don't you? You already have most of the mugs sold and yet you go back and rework it, I assume because you striving for something closer to a repro than a "tribute". I for one am forever grateful for your insanity, you are bringing a mug that I dreamed of possessing when I saw it, was crushed by when I realized I probably never would, and now can have the closest thing to the "real thing" that will ever be done, into reality!

MAHALO MAHALO MAHALO

Now get that dang chainsaw away from those grails!!!

I see some crazy Bob's there. What would you say is the OZ. of those mugs. Cause I have no idea how big those mugs are. I'm thinking bigger than I thought. Never seen one in person. Never seen most mugs in person.

Each mug holds about 25 oz...

When does the Roberto Loco pre-order list start?

Well we are trying to have a tiki mug release party for ROBERTO LOCO MUG at Forbidden Island in MAY but haven't really announced it yet.... I gotta get an exact date from martin so i can find someone to make the flyer..I will let you guy's know when i get the time/date..Mahalo

Aloha TC..
Update for all the buyers of the Tribute mug..
I will be shipping the first 25 mugs soon. The mugs will be shipped to the members who payed first and I will hold them in order to my list, so if your number 6 on the list you get number 6 mug.. Also I got some paypal payments that have no TC names, and it's dizzying to figure out email addresses wit Names to TC..
If you can PM your Name with TC Name That will be awesome!!! The next 25 mugs will be shipped out the following week and so on..If your on the list and haven't payed, PM me on how you would like to make payment..There will be only 100 mugs made and all the proof mugs that I made will be smashed but two!!!
I want to thank all of you for your patience and I hope you like my very first mug... Mucho Mucho Mahalos!!!!

Now that's just silly. Why would you do that? Is this an attempt to inflate the value of the remaining mugs? Just sell the condemned proofs on ebay and don't worry about it. They have no bearing on the value of the remaining mugs and they are potentially worth even more.

Ooooooh! That's smart, cuz then they can be the seed money for the next mug....

The first batch of mugs were destoyed... I had to do it..I said there will be 100 numberd tribute mugs made...After that I will do 25 ghost tribute mugs and thats the end.....Only two proof mugs will be saved
SORRY FOR THIS PICTURE, IT WILL BURN YOUR EYES!!!!

Thread should be renamed "Attack ON the Ren Clark clones"

I'd rather see a real severed head then see that.

I would have so wanted just to paint on one, change it up a bit, then see this terrible fate.

Here's a better pic...

It was all just a bad dream

Now that's a smart idea. You could do them all with custom, ghostly glazes.

And quite the perfectionist not letting but 2 of the proofs escape their fate.

I've already got a spot cleared for my mug on the top shelf.

Notch, you smacked the old design right? And what is a ghost proof, never heard that term before.

Time for a top 'NOTCH' update !!!!

if Notch's plan is running smoothy, people should start seeing them in the mail. Notch, is the only one who can confirm, unless there is someone out there that got one.

Aloha update..
Shipping will start next week fer sure this time.... The ceramic shop that's doing the final firing for me is a little slow in doing what i ask, but it 's looking good ...

Every thing is ready on my end ,all i got's to do is the packaging and shipping and I cant wait anymore..ARGHHH! ....

How bout a NOTCH update >>>>>>

AlOHA UPDATE!!!
Hi TC, I put a hold on the mugs for one week couse I was asked by a photographer if i can have my hotrod ready for a photo shoot this past weekend, I told them no problemo.. I was in shock when they asked me. First the magazine is the Rodder's Journal and they only photograph top notch rods and custom's. Second my car wasn't ready and I needed a lot of work done on it, So i got to work with the help of some friends.
My hotrod is a 1935 ford pick up that's been sitting in my backyard for months and it's all bare metal and you know what happens when you leave bare metal outside, It rusts... So we had to sand it off quick!!
The car made for the shoot and they are going to have it for a few days at there studio in san fran.I will post some picks up later of the photo shoot...
So I'm back on track!! I shipped out some mugs today and will continue to do so everyday
Everythings looking good and i hope you like your mug when it gets to you... feel free to ask any questions... Mucho Mucho mahaloz

[ Edited by: NOTCH 2007-04-18 20:08 ]

is there still that extra surprise inside

Now that's kick ass Rodder's journal is a neat mag. Let us know more when it becomes available about the photo shoot(or when the issue will come out). Also looking forward to mug, but no rush. Hell yeah!

Here's some picks from the photo shoot I told ya from the Rodder's Journal studio. I'm thinkin they are gonna keep her fer around a week taking picture's. Watcha guy's think????

Take us all for a ride!!!! Hip~

I'll try to drive it to one of the tiki events and give everyone a hotlap around the block!!!

Cool Nacho! First round on me this sunday.

As Peter Griffin would say "Ain't that freakin sweet."

Now that's a freakin light box! Nice ride. That's slammmed. There is an F150 show here every year and seeing a totally slammed truck nect to a perfect restoration is always a kick. Truck goes from like 7 feet tall to 4...

Notch, watch who you offer a ride 2 some of these 'cats' on this forum are hitting 300lbs.....

Shit howdy, it's only 4 ft. tall!
:music: The low ri der
is a little higher :music:

nice ride notch

Received my mug today & it looks great! Nice work on this piece Notch.

Aloha TC,
In may previous postings i told ya that my mug will come's with a extra secret surprise. the mug you get will come with a certificate and my card and that's not all, when the last mug is shipped i will inform all of you what comes's next and you need to leave everything in-tacked besides the box... you can say its kinda like a lotto that I'm gonna try to do .... So keep the cards in-tacked and stay tuned!!!!
Mucho Mahaloz...
