Scamming sleezebag alert, counterfeit art being sold at car shows... help out my friends in the hot rod art scene, don't buy from anyone but the real artists.. not Joe Werner. He's selling copies from low-res bad quality images

 Joe Werner, sleeze bag at the Essen Motor Show this weekend in Germany. Deny him your support, keep your cash from someone stabbing a hot rodder in the back.

Want good art? From good artists? Hell yes you do, you want pinstriping from a pinstiper, not a roll on pizza cutter. You want lettering and race car numbers from a artist, a letterer, a sign painter. Not a decal you print at home.

Why? Pride. Proud that you are a hot rodder, an amatuer race car driver, a drag racer... a guy who is living his life with a real passion for the best you can achieve, the best speed, the best lap, the best car, the best parts.

Just like BOMONSTER, who wants just his best work getting into your garage, your bumper, your tool box... not a cheap imitation.

If I was going to ESSEN this weekend, I'd bring a bottle of tempura paint, and spalsh it all over his display. Then hold up a sign, that reads "FAKES SOLD HERE"... cause I'm that kind of guy. I got your back.

scams. I'm sick of them. 3 give aways at SEMA aren't, they are just tricking you into adding to their facebook, buying tickets, or registering on their websites

Examples:
http://www.buildandsearch.com/register is giving away a 1968 Corvette: "Actual car not shown"

http://bpg-werks.com/ will possibly give away a DTV Shredder (ATV with dual cat tracks) but only if you give them a facebook "Like" http://www.facebook.com/DTVshredder  and the "Contest and rules announced soon" should be the clue that they aren't giving one away

http://www.winthemustangs.com/ is an "Enter to win" a 1967 Shelby GT 500 and 2012 Ghelby GT 500, and both were at the Ford Racing area at SEMA but you have to go to their website and buy tickets
