Great tribute website to recommend

This is the rare XK-SS Jaguar that (I didn't know) Von Dutch made a glove box door for, because the open box was always spilling it's contents, and Steve was fed up with that

http://irishrichhomage.blogspot.com/ is a bike builders other website about the influential people from his formative years... like Von Dutch, Ed Roth, Steve McQueen, Robert Williams, and others that all are very interesting write ups, even when I didn't know of the people he's talking about.
