WON'T YOU BE MINE?:

It's officially as official as a social media page of a personal blog can be. 
Moto-Mucci is now on Facebook.


The Facebook page will have a constant feed of all blog posts, as well as a slew whatever other informal information and updates I feel like posting at all hours of the night.

As this venture progresses, so will the content. I have big plans, it's just a matter of time and execution. I appreciate all the support I've gotten from everyone. I'm always eager to give or receive any knowledge you're looking for, or willing to spew, so feel free to contact me.

A NEW LEAF: More Original Content On The Way

/
I finally picked up a big boy camera this weekend. It's just a Nikon D40, but given my complete lack of photog skills, it should keep me quite perplexed for a while.

With the acquisition of the new camera, and the SR250 project kicking off, this means I'll be hosting a lot more original content. Though, I'd like to still keep this space as a sort of tack board of inspiration. I've also moved into a new, more outfitted, garage space. On top of all that, I'm also taking fabrication classes now. It's something I've been wanting to properly learn for a while now, and I plan on doing 100% of the fabrication on the SR myself this time around.

Here are a few more "before" shots, taken this weekend, with the new camera, in the new garage alley, on the new SR250. 




Kara is quite happy with her purchase, and very eager to start the ideation process on what her bike could possibly look like. I plan on starting to thumbnail ideas this week.


SHORT FILM: The Designers Shop

Nick Eterovic and Craig Metros are automotive designers at Ford AU by day. Their free time is spent in the shop space they share amongst a group of friends, where they're able to create in a range of different mediums. Check out the videos below, put on by Fuel Tank TV, featuring their shop and some of the work that goes on with in. The place is dripping with inspiration.
